Player Profile: TDNYC
Meet TDNYC, a chess warrior battling through blitz and rapid time controls with a rating journey that tells a story of thrilling ups and occasional “what just happened” moments. Starting out with blitz ratings around the 900 mark in 2022, TDNYC blitzed their way up to over 1,000 before settling comfortably in the low 900s – because hey, who really likes stagnation anyway?
Rapid chess seems to be their playground, boasting an impressive peak rating over 1,100 in 2024 and maintaining a strong performance with an overall win rate edging close to 65%. Bullet is a newer adventure for TDNYC, with just a handful of games – perhaps testing the waters or taking a break from their usual lightning speed.
Playing Style & Personality
- Endgame Enthusiast: TDNYC doesn’t rush to resign early and loves to drag opponents deep into the endgame trenches, with a 62% frequency of endgame play.
- Resilient Fighter: With a comeback rate of 72.5%, TDNYC has the heart and grit of a gladiator, often turning the tables even after losing material – and remarkably, they never lose immediately after dropping a piece!
- Moves Like Jagger: Average game lengths hover around 60 moves, reflecting a thoughtful and strategic battle rather than snap decisions or lightning-quick blunders (most of the time).
Stats & Quirks
With nearly 6,000 blitz games under their belt, TDNYC’s win-loss balance is practically a seesaw – 2,748 wins to 2,686 losses, and a modest number of draws thrown in to keep things interesting. Their favorite opening remains a “Top Secret” weapon, leading to a roughly 49% win rate in blitz and an even more fearsome 65% in rapid games.
Interestingly, TDNYC's psychological tilt factor hovers at a mild 10%, suggesting they keep their cool fairly well – unlocking focus enough to crush opponents even after setbacks, but with just a dash of human frustration when the chess gods aren’t smiling.
A Time For Every Move
TDNYC tends to perform best in the early evening hours, boasting a solid 53% win rate at 17:00 and similar spikes at 6 and 7 AM (early birds or just time zone magic?). Oddly enough, 9 AM is a perfect 100% win hour according to the stats – maybe no one wanted to challenge them at that time!
Opponent Showdown Highlights
TDNYC has fierce rivalries and friendly grudges alike. They end recent battles with the likes of elchapulin07 (no wins there), but dominate players like yosmeir, armandyto, and hobbg at a perfect 100% win rate. All in all, TDNYC's chess journey is a wild ride full of epic comebacks, a dozen secrets, and a lion’s heart for the game.
Whether blitzing in New York or tactically outmaneuvering foes in rapid battles, TDNYC remains a formidable and entertaining opponent, ready to take down challengers – or at least make them think twice!
