Meet Tarbul: The Endgame Enthusiast

Tarbul is a chess player whose journey could be described as “slow and steady with a splash of unpredictability.” With a peak daily rating flirting with 968 in 2024 and an enduring passion for the game since at least 2020, Tarbul embraces every move with a zest that’s equal parts skill and stubbornness.

Playing Style

Known for a rather high endgame frequency (43.94%), Tarbul is the kind of player who doesn’t just rush for quick wins but enjoys dragging things out until the board tells a story of victory or defeat. Averaging just over 50 moves in wins, Tarbul’s games are little quests, featuring tactical battles and enough twists to keep spectators guessing.

White pieces bring an advantage here, boasting a 46.63% win rate, while Black’s at a respectable 42.5%, proving Tarbul plays well whether attacking or defending.

The Comeback Kid

When the chips are down, Tarbul shines – a comeback rate of 62.48% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece hints at a psychological resilience that says, “You took my bishop? Cool, watch me turn this around.” Tilt factor sits moderately at 11, indicating that while frustration exists, it doesn’t often derail the game.

Opening Secrets and Opponents

With all their games played under a cryptically named "Top Secret" opening, Tarbul keeps their strategy mysterious, but clearly effective: winning roughly 38% of daily games and an impressive 46-45% in rapid and blitz, respectively.

While Tarbul has faced hundreds of opponents, the recurring rival abrownmd has proven to be a tough nut with an 11.92% win rate against, reminding Tarbul that even the best have their kryptonite.

Chronicles of the Clock

Tarbul’s strongest hours seem to be at 1 AM (50.49% win rate) and 16:00 (54.07% win rate) – whether that’s late-night brilliance or afternoon peak performance, Tarbul’s clock management is as sharp as their chess tactics.

A Humorously Honest Record

With a modest early resignation rate of 4.94%, Tarbul isn’t one to quit easily (unless the cat demands attention). However, despite heroic comebacks and stubborn resilience, the win-loss ratio shows life’s not always fair – with more losses than wins in most formats. But hey, even grandmasters lose sometimes (or was it just the pawns?).

In Summary

Tarbul might not be the flashiest player on the board, but they play with heart, resilience, and a secret opening that leaves adversaries guessing. Whether battling in blitz, rapid, or daily games, Tarbul’s strategic endurance and knack for comebacks make them a formidable (and entertaining) opponent.
