Chess Player Profile: Tarkrio
Meet Tarkrio, the chess enthusiast who embodies resilience, persistence, and an unyielding spirit — even if the scoreboard might not always show it. Tarkrio’s journey through the chessboard started with a bang, reaching a rapid rating high of 800 in early 2022. Since then, the path has been more rollercoaster than rocket ship, but hey—what’s chess without a little drama?
Rating & Stats Snapshot
- Peak Rapid Rating: 800 (March 2022)

- Overall Rapid Record: 8 wins, 28 losses, 7 draws
- Overall Blitz Record: 4 wins, 13 losses, 1 draw
Playing Style & Personality
Tarkrio is not your typical chess shark but more of a tactical tortoise. With an average game lasting around 55 moves whether winning or losing, this player loves the long strategic battles like a true chess marathoner. Despite a tilt factor of 8 (which in non-chess terms means: sometimes emotions run high when the knights start galloping!), Tarkrio’s comeback rate clocks an impressive 83%. Losing a piece? No problem. Just plot some sneaky trickery and fight back — even if winning after losing a piece remains a modest 18%.
Notorious Openings
When it comes to openings, Tarkrio keeps it mysterious and Unknown. The “Top Secret” opening strategy, however, remains a bit of a kryptonite — zero wins out of ten rapid games. Queens Pawn, Bishop’s, and King’s Pawn openings have been tried but the results often ended in lessons learned rather than trophies won. Fans might say Tarkrio’s true weapon is unpredictability — bewildering opponents with an eclectic style that refuses to be pigeonholed.
