• Peak Bullet Rating: 1498 (March 2025)

Tai’s ratings show a steadfast climb across all game types, with a bullet rating almost fast enough to threaten the speed of light (or at least the blink of an eye!).

Playing Style

Tai is a fearless tactician whose games feature an impressive 71.18% comeback rate and a knack for fighting back even after losing a piece. Endgames are Tai’s playground, engaging in nearly 72% of games to the bitter end. Average games last around 66 moves—because Tai clearly loves a good long battle! White pieces bring a slight advantage, with a 55% win rate.

Beware the tilt factor though: at 12, Tai knows the emotional ups and downs that chess brings—sometimes resigning early (but only 1.8% of the time).

Opening Repertoire & Favorites

In Blitz and Bullet, Tai keeps opponents on their toes with the "Top Secret" opening, a mysterious arsenal that has seen thousands of fiery battles. For the Daily games, Tai experiments with classical and hypermodern openings, including a sprinkling of the Owens Defense and the Reti Opening’s Queenside Fianchetto variation.

Notable Records & Opponents

Tai has played literally thousands of games with an almost even split of wins and losses in Blitz and Bullet (win rates hovering around 49-50%). Some of the fiercest battles have been against players like diabolik72 and maheshagicha.

Some opponents fear Tai’s style (aditya14092001, warlord3d, alshtranji all with 100% loss records), while others may have managed a sneaky win here and there. But let’s be honest, the T803 moniker strikes a bit of dread regardless of the scoreboard.

Recent Battles

In Tai’s latest notable victory, played in May 2025, he demonstrated a calm and methodical style in the English Opening, culminating in a resignation from the opponent after a well-executed bishop and rook combo. On the flip side, a recent loss came after a tense time scramble against a crafty adversary—time management, the eternal nemesis!

Fun Facts

• Tai’s best time to play and calculate moves? Right around 10:00 AM, because even chess titans need their morning coffee.
• Most wins come on Fridays, thanks to that 51.45% win rate—weekend mode: activated!
• The number of games Tai has both won and lost in Bullet mode is over 4,000—which is way more than the population of some small countries!

In summary, Tai Rodriguês is the kind of player who brings a perfect mix of grit, patience, and mystery to the chessboard. Whether it’s a lightning fast Bullet skirmish or a marathon Daily duel, T803 keeps opponents guessing—and often surrendering.
