Profile Summary: Tanzag
Meet tanzag, a blitz aficionado whose chess journey reads like an epic saga peppered with tactical fireworks, moments of resilience, and a healthy dose of endgame magic. With a peak blitz rating soaring to 2191 in January 2021 and rapid prowess pushing past 2184 the same year, tanzag is no stranger to the intense battlefield of rapid and blitz chess.
Known for a cheeky 0.91% early resignation rate (yes, even the greats know when to throw in the towel), and a penchant for longer fights — averaging over 60 moves in wins and losses — tanzag thrives in the deep strategical waters of chess endgames. No lazy swindles here, it’s full-on chess marathons!
With a comeback rate rocketing at 74.56%, tanzag has the kind of fighting spirit that makes opponents sweat: losing a piece is rarely the end, it’s just the prelude to the “Comeback Kid” show. Plus, once tilted, they're about as dangerous as a stormy sea (tilt factor 11), but with a sweet spot around 11 PM for best play — probably fueled by late-night coffee and grandmaster dreams.
In case you were wondering about their openings repertoire, the beloved Queens Pawn Opening - Chigorin Variation is the crown jewel with an impressive 52%+ win rate, proving that tanzag prefers playing chess with a dash of spice. The Indian Game and Benko Gambit also feature heavily in their arsenal, showcasing a player who likes both solidity and dynamic counterplay.
Despite a rollercoaster rating journey that dips and peaks, tanzag keeps the adrenaline high in more than 35,000 blitz games, with wins calmly balanced against losses and a solid chunk of hard-fought draws. Fun fact: in bullet games, tanzag's lightning-fast strikes earned a peak rating near 1916, perfect for those who like their chess served extra spicy and supersonic.
Perhaps most entertaining, their most recent victory, a checkmate against Kofe_inst in a Sicilian Defense Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo Fianchetto Variation, shows tanzag’s knack for precise endings and pressure play until the last second. Checkmate delivered with style and timing, naturally.
So whether it’s battling on the quickfires of blitz or maneuvering in the rapid jungle, tanzag is a player unafraid to dig deep, pull off a comeback, and sometimes lose on time (it happens!) — always playing with heart, a splash of hilarious frustration, and an undeniable love for the game.
