Rising through the ranks with a disciplined approach and a bit of flair, this player has dazzled opponents across Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Daily formats.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, Thee-Chessboy has achieved peak ratings that would make even grandmasters nod in respect: a blistering 2604 in Bullet, a lightning-fast 2738 in Blitz, an impressive 2396 in Rapid, and a solid 1991 in Daily chess. Known for a surgical opening repertoire and an almost uncanny tactical awareness, this player boasts a comeback rate of an astonishing 84%, proving they never quit until the king falls.
The games of Thee-Chessboy are marathons as much as sprints, with an average of nearly 78 moves per game—evidence of a gritty endurance and love for deep, strategic battles. Expect battles where resignation is a rare sight (just about 1.15% early resignations), endgames are frequent and fiercely fought, and tactical twists come quicker than you can say “checkmate.”
Time of day matters to our master tactician: the golden hour to face Thee-Chessboy is around 3 PM, when the star player shines brightest. Over the years, this strategist has crafted a play style marked by tenacity, with reasonably balanced results between playing White and Black.
A glimpse into their recent exploits unveils strategic crushing victories, such as a graceful resignation win against nova-stone after a precise assault in the Catalan opening, and a checkmate delivered in the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack against dr_fruit_dubai. Even when the clock ticks perilously close, Thee-Chessboy keeps their cool, fighting until the very last second.
With streaks reaching up to 46 consecutive wins and a psychological tilt factor of just 19 (because even FMs have their moments), Thee-Chessboy’s chess personality combines resilience, sharp calculation, and a touch of humor evidenced by their nickname alone. So if you find yourself against this player online, prepare for a battle of wits and nerves—where every move could be “top secret.”
Fun fact: Among a staggering number of games, their favorite opening is mysteriously dubbed “Top Secret.” Could this be a nod to a hidden weapon? Possibly. But one thing's for sure: Thee-Chessboy plays chess like a grandmaster and speaks only in moves and checkmates.
