Tansel Turgut - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Tansel Turgut, a FIDE Master whose chess journey is as exhilarating as a thrilling blitz game on a caffeine rush. Known in the chess circuits for tactical wizardry and an uncanny ability to bounce back from the brink of defeat (with a staggering 90.13% comeback rate!), Tansel has conquered the 64 squares with style and a good dose of humor.
Over the years, Tansel’s blitz rating has danced impressively from 2254 in 2017 to peaking near the 2400 mark, hitting 2384 in 2025. Bullet chess? No problem! Although a little less flashy than their blitz stats, Tansel holds their own with solid performances and a mean win ratio that keeps opponents on their toes.
When not turning pawns into queens, Tansel enjoys being a “chess psychologist,” managing to tilt an astonishingly low 11 on the tilt factor scale — showing remarkable calm under fire. Their playing style is patient and enduring, with games lasting on average over 75 moves, proving that persistence and precision win the day.
White or black pieces, Tansel knows how to win with nearly 49% success rate with white and over 44% with black. And if they ever lose a piece? No worries — Tansel’s 100% win rate after losing a piece might just be the stuff of legends (or maybe just a glitch in the matrix).
Off the board, Tansel’s record against frequent opponents ranges from charming victories to those pesky heartbreakers, but with a current winning streak of 6 games (and a longest winning spree of 24!), it’s clear this FM is on a roll!
Whether blitzing through openings shrouded in mystery or surprising audiences with a “Top Secret” strategy, Tansel Turgut proves that chess is as much an art as it is science — especially when wielded by a master with a playful spark.
