Serhat Tavaş (SERHAT2402) - The Relentless Chess Enthusiast
Serhat Tavaş, also known in the chess world as SERHAT2402, is a player who embodies perseverance more than anything else. His journey through the ranks is a testament to his dedication, even if the numbers sometimes tell a tale of battles lost—more like a gladiator forcing the king to retreat one pawn at a time.
Rating Rollercoaster
Serhat’s rating in rapid chess danced between 729 and 1037 over recent years, reflecting a rollercoaster of epic highs and humbling lows. His blitz performance fluctuated from a dazzling 990 down to a more modest 452, proving that speed chess is truly a battlefield where every second counts and sometimes runs out faster than expected.
Win-Loss Saga
Across all formats, Serhat has fought fiercely with nearly as many wins as losses. For instance, in rapid chess, he’s almost perfectly balanced with 971 wins and 965 losses, sprinkled with 89 draws—the chess equivalent of clutching a coffee while walking a tightrope. In blitz and bullet, the saga continues with a similar pattern, showcasing his relentless spirit and refusal to back down.
Master of "Top Secret" Openings
Interestingly, all of Serhat's games in rapid, blitz, and bullet fall under the "Top Secret" opening category. Whether he’s a secret agent of the Sicilian or a shadowy knight of the French Defense, opponents never quite know what to expect—and sometimes neither does Serhat himself!
Playing Style and Psychology
Known for a fearless comeback attitude, Serhat boasts a staggering 61.26% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. In other words, if Serhat loses a knight, he doesn’t sulk; he hacks into the enemy’s system and reclaims the throne. His 'Tilt Factor' of 11 hints that even the most intense heat of the chess battlefield rarely affects his cool-headedness.
Daily Life as a Chess Warrior
When Serhat plays, it’s often late at night—with an impressive 72.73% win rate at midnight and an 58.82% success rate at 4 AM. Clearly, this chess warrior thrives in the twilight hours, perhaps fueled by midnight snacks and existential pondering about those tricky forks and pins.
Fun Facts

- Average moves per win hover around 55, indicating patience and a love for deep endgames.
- Prefers white pieces slightly, winning 51% of the time, but still packs a punch with black.
