Next_Touch - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Next_Touch, a chess player whose fingers move with such precision and speed that even the pieces feel special treatment. Holding the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE, Next_Touch has proven to be a formidable force on the 64 squares.

Bursting onto the blitz scene with a fresh 2000 rating, Next_Touch skyrocketed to a peak rating of an impressive 2769 in mid-2018. If speed were a crime, they'd be serving a life sentence in bullet chess too, boasting a peak bullet rating of 2650. Their lightning-fast calculations and tactical wizardry carve paths through defenses like a hot knife through butter.

With over 1163 blitz wins and an equally gutsy 53 wins in bullet chess, Next_Touch's game balance tips slightly toward the rapid-fire side but don't ever count out their endurance in longer battles. Their average game length hovers around 80 moves, showing a flair for endgames where they shine brightest more than 84% of the time—because who doesn’t love a good finale?

Known for their comeback prowess, Next_Touch has a whopping 89% tactical comeback rate. Giving up a piece? No problem — they still manage to win over half their positions afterward. Such resilience might explain why their longest winning streak is a respectable 11 games. Opponents beware: if you think you have them on the ropes, think again!

Their preferred battleground is often around 4 PM, where their win rate peaks to almost 64%. Clearly, afternoon coffee and a board full of pawns are a lethal combination. And yes, resignation is their favored weapon to end games: 793 wins were sealed when opponents threw in the towel.

A master tactician who occasionally mixes deadly singles with strategic mayhem, Next_Touch keeps their openings under wraps—decrypting their 'Top Secret' arsenal probably requires a supercomputer. Yet one known fact: their Pirc Defense weaponry has toppled many foes, as evidenced by their recent victory by resignation with a perfectly timed endgame assault.

Off the board, Next_Touch is probably plotting the next brilliant move — or maybe just enjoying one too many pawns of chocolate. One thing we know for sure: when they touch the board, magic happens.
