FIDE Master & Chess Enthusiast Extraordinaire

Tanmay Chopra is a FIDE Master—a title that confirms they’re pretty much a wizard on 64 squares. With a blitz peak rating soaring over 2800, Tanmay dances through the fast-paced chaos of blitz chess like a ninja in sneakers, leaving opponents bewildered and wishing for more time on the clock.

Active since at least 2023, Tanmay has played hundreds of games, rocking an impressive Blitz win rate that hovers near 50%, but don’t let the numbers fool you. Their true magic lies in a stubborn tactical mindset with an unforgettable comeback rate of nearly 87%. Lost a piece? No problem. Tanmay turns those moments into triumphs with style. Their losses are rarely one-sided thanks to an extraordinarily low one-sided loss rate of 0.21%. That’s resilience worthy of the great chess heroes!

Playing Style

• Average Moves Per Win: An epic 79.3 moves, because giving up early is for the faint-hearted.
• Endgame Specialist: Nearly 80% of their games go deep into the endgame trenches.
• White Pieces Win Rate: A solid 52%, showing that Tanmay handles the initiative with grace.
• Black Pieces Win Rate: Respectable 45%, meaning fighting from behind is second nature.

Favorite Openings

When blitz battles heat up, Tanmay prefers to keep things mysterious with their “Top Secret” opening (which very well might just be random moves to confuse the opponent). But for those with a sharper eye, the Caro Kann Defense Advance Short Variation yields a sweet 70% win rate. Other reliable choices include the Catalan Opening Closed and the Giuoco Piano Game, proving Tanmay is equally comfortable in classical theory battles.

Chess Personality

With a modest tilt factor of 10 (that’s a healthy level of passion, not rage-quit madness), Tanmay’s best time to play happens way too early in the morning—7:00 AM sharp. Opponents beware: this is when the best ideas hatch and surprises fly. If you show up after your morning coffee, you might be in trouble.
