Tanguyto

Player Profile: Tanguyto

Meet Tanguyto, a resilient chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. With a peak Rapid rating of 1233 back in December 2020, Tanguyto dazzled the chess world by briefly touching the sweet spot of the triple-digit club, then diving headlong into an ocean of fluctuating fortunes, like a fearless knight forever galloping through uncharted territory.

Starting with a perfect 2-for-2 in Rapid during late 2020, our hero then entered 2021 facing both victories and setbacks — a true testament to the “trial and error” school of chess mastery. The stats show a player who never loses their spirit, constantly battling through streaks (including a heroic eight-win run) and occasionally enduring daunting losing streaks (those 15 consecutive losses? Just a warm-up!).

If speed chess is your game, Tanguyto's Blitz and Bullet performances tell the tale of a fighter with lightning reflexes and some battle scars. Peaking at 1200 in Blitz and 1219 in Bullet, Tanguyto surged past many foes, closing an impressive 210 wins against 157 losses in Blitz, and a solid 11-6-1 record in Bullet. The flashy Top Secret opening seems to be the favorite weapon of choice, especially effective in Blitz with a healthy 51.7% win rate, while an all-out assault with the Alekhine's Defense boasts a pristine 100% Blitz win record. (One must wonder if chess opponents dread that coded strategy name!)

Psychological resilience is a hallmark here: a comeback rate near 67% and an ability to clinch wins even after losing a piece in nearly 42% of cases proves Tanguyto’s games are never over until the rook crashes down. There's a slight tilt factor (15) — understandable when your king and pawns engage in nightly battles — but perhaps that’s just passion leaking through the pixels.

Playing style? Prepare for a marathon, not a sprint. With average wins lasting 64 moves, Tanguyto prefers grinding down opponents through gritty battles, tactical nuances, and the occasional surprise sacrifice.

On a personal note, Tanguyto prefers to strike best during the quiet hours — 1 AM is apparently prime time for strategic brilliance, which raises the question: does the midnight oil fuel these victories?

Recent highlights:

• Last win: A tense endgame triumph against KylanBEGEAULT on May 29, 2025, winning on time after a brutal chess marathon filled with queens, knights, and bishop skirmishes.
• Recent battles show determination even in defeat — losses mostly were close shaves or tactical checkmates by crafty foes.

With a blend of unorthodox openings, relentless fight, and a knack for unexpected comebacks, Tanguyto is the kind of player who keeps their opponents on their toes — and the chess community smiling at their colorful and spirited chess odyssey.
