Playing Style: Embrace the Chaos
Known for a high early resignation rate of about 14%, tcob1000 doesn't shy away from cutting losses early — a pragmatic genius or just impatient? The endgame frequency of 45% and an average of 52 moves per win shows a player willing to grind it out and fight till exhaustion. Interestingly, white pieces bring slightly more joy (36.4% wins) than black (34.2%), indicating comfort with the initiative but no fear of the dark side.
Tactical Flair
With a comeback rate of nearly 70%, tcob1000 is no quitter. Even when a piece goes missing, about 30% of the time they manage to claw their way back or at least try valiantly. But beware: one-sided losses account for roughly 21%, so opponents should keep their wits about them!
Favorite Openings (and not-so-favorites)
This player is an adventurous soul in the opening phase. Their Nimzowitsch Defense in Blitz boasts a 100% win record over 3 games — a potential secret weapon! The Van Geet Opening also brings good luck with a 67% win rate. However, the Grob Opening and Kings Pawn Opening seem less lucky, suggesting room for improvement or possibly a quirky taste in openings that confuses even themselves.
Memorable Matches
The recent win against DEN2278 stands out — a Van Geet Opening battle where tcob1000 clinched victory on time. There’s also a famous checkmate against JANETBAQUERIZO using the crafty Reti Opening, proving that strategy and flair can win the day. Losses to blunderpanda5241 remind us that even the best stumble — but only to get up and come back stronger.
