Tanguy Richard - The Chess Cell Division Specialist
Meet Tanguy Richard, also known by his cunning username tangtoug. A true strategist on the 64-cell battlefield, Tanguy's performance in chess is nothing short of an evolutionary marvel. With a career that has seen his rating mitochondrially energize from a Rapid rating of 904 in 2020 to a healthy peak of 1440 in 2024, Tanguy embodies the perfect combination of strategy and stamina.
Like a cell preparing to divide, Tanguy adapts swiftly in different formats. His rapid play showcases a steady acceleration, averaging nearly 1385 in recent years, demonstrating resilience akin to a cell’s robust nucleus protecting its DNA. Though his Blitz and Bullet performances still have room to develop—his highest blitz rating reaching 1143 and bullet peaking at 718—his rapid and daily games show that his chess metabolism is firing on all cylinders.
Not just a creature of speed, Tanguy’s style reveals an organism finely tuned for endurance. His average moves per win (about 54) and fewer early resignations (1.51%) suggest a player who fights until cellular telomeres are nearly spent. His impressive 66.63% comeback rate and perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece show a remarkable ability to regenerate and triunate—just like a star fish regrowing a limb after adversity.
The “white cells” in his army have a slight edge with a 51.73% win rate, while the “black cells” support loyally at 47.44%. Tanguy's psychological tilt factor of 13 indicates a moderate reaction to pressure—nothing a quick mitotic pause can’t fix. And while his White blood cell dominance is evident, his most notable victories come with a swarm of faithful opponents where he boasts 100% win rates against many challenging adversaries such as pineboxx, eugen61, and liraste.
Off the board, Tanguy seems to flow with the chrono-rhythm of competitive play, thriving particularly during the afternoon and early evening hours. With win rates peaking at 57.14% around 10 AM and noticeable strength between 15:00 and 22:00, he’s like a circadian cell cycle syncing perfectly with game intensity.
In summary, Tanguy Richard is a fascinating chess organism: resilient, ever-adapting, with a flair for long strategic duels and a knack for climbing back from dire situations. His progress tells a tale of growth, metabolism of strategy, and the biological grit necessary for chess survival and success. If chess were a living organism, Tanguy’s game would be its heart, beating steadily and fiercely on every board.
