TarantinoQ: The Chess Maverick
Meet TarantinoQ, a chess combatant whose style could be described as “cinematic” — full of thrilling twists, unexpected plot twists, and plenty of high-stakes drama on the board. With a bullet rating peak touching an astonishing 2809 and a blitz zenith soaring to 2920, TarantinoQ doesn’t just play chess, they put on a show.
Starting from humble beginnings with a rapid rating around 1800 in 2020, this player quickly escalated, reaching a rapid peak of 2006 by the end of 2021. But it’s in the fast and furious realms of bullet and blitz where TarantinoQ truly shines — a blitz warrior who’s battled over 2100 games, winning nearly half and refusing to back down even after heavy losses.
Playing Style & Statistics
- Longest winning streak: 15 games — because sometimes TarantinoQ turns into a chess superhero.
- Current winning streak: 3 games — the saga continues.
- Overall blitz record: 999 wins, 827 losses, and 293 draws. Don’t let the losses fool you: this player plays the long game.
- Bullet battles: 179 wins out of 325 attempts, showing that while rapid fire is thrilling, precision is also key.
- Favourite opening in rapid: A "Top Secret" strategy with a perfect 100% win rate — like a covert agent in the shadows of the 64 squares.
If TarantinoQ had a tagline, it would be: "Keep your friends close, your opponents guessing, and your resignation button at the ready." This player has a respectable early resignation rate of only 6.3%, proving patience... but not too much patience. Endgames are their bread and butter, with a frequency of over 83%, showcasing a knack for grinding down opponents till the bitter end.
The Tactical Mind
These stats reveal a player with a strong comeback rate of 84.66%: if TarantinoQ loses a piece, don’t count them out—they bounce right back nearly 85% of the time. And even if the chips are down, the win chance after losing a piece is a solid 46.47%. Now that’s resilience worthy of any movie hero!
Psychological Profile
Watch out for their tilt factor of 7 — yes, even legends have their moments. But the best time to catch TarantinoQ at peak performance is bizarrely 01:00 AM, proving that some masterpieces are crafted under the cover of night.
Notable Recent Triumph
One of their freshest victories in rapid chess came in December 2021, where TarantinoQ defeated an opponent rated 1848 using a mysterious "Top Secret" opening in a tense Benoni Defense duel. The win came by resignation — a classic finish for a player who knows exactly when to strike and when to make their opponent throw in the towel.
