Profile Summary: tc-tsc

Meet tc-tsc, a rapidly evolving chess enthusiast who is no stranger to the rollercoaster of online Rapid and Blitz battles. With a peak Rapid rating of 635 in mid-2025, they showed flashes of brilliance — before humorously tumbling down to the 200s shortly after. But hey, every great story needs a plot twist, right?

With a preferred spotlight on Rapid games, tc-tsc plays about twice as many Rapid matches than Blitz ones, dabbling in a charming mix of classic and quirky openings. The Englund Gambit seems to be their spicy opener of choice, boasting a respectable near 43% win rate, unlike their more tragic encounters with the English Opening Kings English Variation or the Old Benoni Defense, both holding a painful 0% win record. One can only assume they enjoy a challenge... or a good laugh.

Not one to shy away from bold moves, their average decisive games extend over 45 moves, meaning tc-tsc likes a good, long tussle — endurance type! The aggressive side shows through an average first capture around move 5 or 6; the thrill of early skirmishes is clearly irresistible.

Psychologically, tc-tsc appears human and relatable: a tilt factor of 6 (not a pro, but not a robot either), a comeback rate over 63%, and a knack for snagging wins after trailing (albeit a modest 32% win rate after losing a piece). Their best chess hour? Exactly 1 PM — the perfect time for midday brain power and maybe a well-timed coffee.

Battle Highlights & Rivals

Their longest winning streak peaked at four games, but watch out for the losing skid — six games in a row, with a current three-game losing streak reminding us all that even warriors have off days.

Among recent opponents like kebab2cheval and xxdummychessplayerxx, tc-tsc has had mixed fortunes. Despite some tough losses, there’s a perfect 100% win rate against yash_2101, so perhaps that specific username is the lucky charm (or tragic foil!). Their head-to-head with shilton6 is a balanced 50%, proving there's always a good old rivalry brewing on the digital board.

Quirks & Style

• Early resignation rate: Around 11%, showing tc-tsc isn’t afraid to concede when the game sours, perhaps saving energy for the next fight.
• Win rates: White pieces win slightly more often (40%) than Black (38%), so the saying "White to move" might hold true here after all.
• Playing style: A fair share of the games end in lengthy endgames (about 38%), indicating solid stamina and love for the late match tension.
• Victory type: Most wins are by resignation — convincing opponents to wave the white flag rather than forcing checkmate.

Memorable Win Example

In a recent rapid clash against yash_2101, tc-tsc demonstrated tactical sharpness by navigating the tricky Scandinavian Defense and claiming victory by game abandonment near move 23. It’s like they got so good the opponent just folded!

So, whether climbing phoenix-like from rating slumps or experimenting with wild gambits, tc-tsc’s journey is a testament to the timeless chess spirit: fight, fail, learn, and laugh along the way.
