Tony

Profile Summary: Tony (NottonyG77)

Meet Tony, a swift and resilient chess enthusiast navigating the realm of rapid, blitz, and bullet chess with a flair that’s equal parts strategic and occasionally... adventurous.

Chess Journey & Ratings

Tony's peak rapid rating soared to 562 in April 2025 — a score he proudly chased with near dogged persistence through 196 rapid games, winning 100 and drawing 7. In blitz, Tony flashes around the board with a top rating of 511, snagging 21 wins out of 54 games. But it's bullet chess where Tony channels his inner speed demon, hitting a peak 601, though that lightning pace sometimes leads to more losses than wins (don’t blink, or you’ll miss it!).

Opening Moves & Signature Style

True to form, Tony enjoys mixing classic and surprising openings. The Alekhine's Defense stands out, boasting a flawless 100% win rate in rapid games — a little known gem in Tony’s arsenal. The trusted King's Pawn Opening and Caro-Kann Defense form the backbone of his play, with win rates hovering between 50-55%, indicating a balanced, steady approach.

Playing Style & Psychological Profile

Patience is Tony’s secret weapon: victories come after an average of 49 moves, while losses tend to stretch longer, averaging almost 68 moves. Tony rarely gives up early (an early resignation rate of just 2.38%), proving stubbornness can be a virtue!

When the going gets tough, Tony gets going. His enviable 72% comeback rate demonstrates a knack for turning the tide, often recovering after losing a key piece with a respectable 41% win rate thereafter.

Beware the tilt—Tony’s tilt factor is a mild 9, suggesting a pinch of frustration but nothing too dramatic for our resilient player.

Notable Opponent Records

Tony’s record against some opponents is truly striking. He’s undefeated against joncrully_1964 and leilamichaca123, winning every recorded encounter. Yet, some opponents like k1mch1power and izlam76 seem to be his kryptonite, with win rates at a chilly 0%. But hey, even the best have their nemeses!

Best Time to Challenge Tony

If you fancy taking Tony on, aim for evenings—his best playing hour is around 6 PM, when his win rate peaks near 73%. Weekends also favor Tony, especially Saturdays with a hearty 74% win rate. Play during these times if you want to see Tony at his sharpest!

Recent Battles

Despite occasional setbacks, Tony remains a fierce competitor. Recently, he clinched an elegant checkmate victory against joncrully_1964, executing a positional masterpiece in the Colle System defense. But alas, even Tony's knights can be captured sometimes, as shown by a swift checkmate defeat to K1MCH1POWER—a reminder that in chess, humility is part of the game.

In Conclusion

Tony (aka NottonyG77) is a passionate player with a mix of solid tactics, strategic depth, and that human touch of unpredictability. Whether it’s a rapid face-off or a bullet blitz, Tony keeps the spirit of chess alive with every move—often entertaining, always thoughtful, and never giving up without a fight.
