Tze-Meng Mok (aka mightymic) - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Tze-Meng Mok, the International Master known in the digital realm as mightymic. Not just your everyday chess player, Tze-Meng has earned the prestigious IM title from FIDE, proving their chess skills are anything but amateur hour.

With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2574 in early 2018, mightymic demonstrates lightning-fast calculation mixed with a flair for dramatic comebacks (an impressive 83.2% comeback rate after a setback). Those who play against Tze-Meng better bring their A-game because this player isn’t shy about bouncing back!

With an avalanche of over 22,000 blitz games under their belt, and a competitive win record pushing close to 10,000 victories, mightymic is a seasoned warrior of the 64 squares. They've also mastered rapid and bullet chess, boasting win rates of 86.5% and a blazing 97.6% respectively – at times feeling more like a chess ninja than a mortal player.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for enduring lengthy battles on the board, Tze-Meng averages about 71 moves per win, showing a patient, strategic approach rather than quick-fire tactics only. But don’t be fooled; there’s also a healthy respect for the endgame, as evidenced by an 80.7% frequency of endgame play. They might resign early about 0.7% of the time, which is impressively low for someone juggling such a huge number of games – the tenacity is real!

Psychologically, mightymic likes to strike early in the morning with their best performance time at 7 AM, proving once again that the early bird gets the chessboard worm. Although they admit to a tilt factor of 12 (for us mere mortals, that means “sometimes the board does get a bit fiery”), their discipline keeps them fighting back strong.

Another notable win involved a brilliant tactical finish in a Pirc Defense, snatching victory in style and speed.

Behind the Scenes

Like many top players, Tze-Meng keeps some secrets, especially when it comes to their opening repertoire (literally "Top Secret"). But what is known is their adaptability—whether blitz, rapid, or bullet, they bend and twist the board to their will.
