Tian Rizki

Tian Rizki - aka "Imajinatian"

Meet Tian Rizki, a chess enthusiast whose rapid rating journey is as dynamic as a thrilling Sicilian Defense! Rising from a modest 752 in early 2021 to a hard-earned peak of 1261 in mid-2025, Tian embodies perseverance and a love for every single pawn move.

With a solid preference for the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation, Tian has battled through over a thousand games in this opening alone, claiming victory roughly 45% of the time – a testament to the enduring struggle between offense and defense! But don’t let the numbers fool you; Tian's endgame tactics show a knack for comebacks, boasting an impressive 85% comeback rate. Losing a piece? No problem! With a 44.6% win rate after such setbacks, Imajinatian proves resilience is truly the name of the game.

Known for playing a marathon rather than a sprint, Tian averages nearly 62 moves per win and refuses to throw in the towel early, with an early resignation rate of just 3.8%. The battlefield is often filled with long, gritty games where every move counts and a checkmate is savored like a trophy at 7 PM, their peak time for blitzkrieg attacks.

Tian’s strategic arsenal is diverse, boasting strong performances in the French Defense Normal Variation (winning over 60% of those encounters) and a sharp eye against the Queen’s Gambit Accepted. Games against regular opponents like "lisputra" and "kelllee" have fostered rivalries both fierce and fun (though sometimes challenging, with WinRates varying wildly).

Whether it's defeating "seanpat89" in a spectacular checkmate or juggling tricky positions with “sharn125,” Tian showcases a fighting spirit sprinkled with moments of cheeky brilliance and a dash of humor – because if you can’t laugh at yourself when you blunder a queen, what can you laugh at?

Opponents beware: Tian Rizki’s throne is defended by a queen, a knight, and an endless supply of stubborn hope. After all, in the unpredictable chessboard of life, it’s the unexpected moves that make the story worth telling.

Checkmate your doubts, the game is just beginning!
