Tanner Ackerman - Chess Enthusiast and Queen of the Board

Meet Tanner Ackerman, a rapid chess player known for moving with the precision of a knight and the tenacity of a rook. Tanner’s rapid rating has shown steady growth, reaching a peak of 905 in 2025, proving that this player’s game is evolving faster than a pawn racing for promotion.

With over 1,000 rapid games played, Tanner boasts a respectable win rate just above 50%, wielding openings like the King's Pawn with a queen’s finesse (60.8% win rate) and the Queen’s Pawn opening with the patience of a bishop (52.3% win rate). Though the Caro-Kann Defense seems to induce a bit of a check on success (30% win rate), Tanner's varied repertoire shows a wide biological diversity in chess openings!

Like a seasoned predator in the ecosystem of the chessboard, Tanner’s longest winning streak was an impressive 9 games — a reminder that sometimes you need to be as relentless as a charging knight. Yet, even when caught off guard, Tanner's comeback rate is a whopping 66% and an unyielding 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving resilience that would make even the toughest cactus proud.

Tanner’s style could be likened to a patient predator stalking its endgame prey, as indicated by a high endgame frequency of 56.5%, and an average of about 57 moves for both wins and losses shows the determination to battle it out rather than rushing to resign early.

Quick on the uptake but with a mild tilt factor of 8 (just enough to stay passionate), Tanner knows when to hold the horse and when to let the queen loose. Playing white brings a slight advantage with a 51.7% win rate, while black is close behind at 50%. Tanner’s games are often played at prime brain hours like 3 AM (62.5% win rate) and 15:00 (nearly 60%), showing a nocturnal chess metabolism at work.

When not strategizing on the 64 squares, Tanner Ackerman is probably plotting the next evolutionary adaptation to outsmart opponents or cracking a well-timed biology pun that’s as sharp as a bishop’s diagonal.
