Thomas Fiebig - International Master of Chess
Meet Thomas Fiebig, an International Master who approaches chess not just as a game, but as an odyssey of wit, strategy, and occasional bewilderment (mostly inflicted on opponents).
Since bursting onto the scene in 2013 with a blitz rating of 1367 and a daily rating of 1475, Thomas has steadily climbed the ranks. Their blitz prowess soared to a peak rating of 2702 in 2016 and 2022 — a number that surely sends shivers down any opponent’s spine. Daily chess fans have watched Thomas maintain a respectable 2200+ rating consistently through the years with an impressive win rate, proving that slow and steady (sometimes) wins the race.
Blitz and bullet time controls are Thomas's playground — with tens of thousands of games under their belt and a near 49% win rate in blitz, proving that speed doesn’t make this IM lose his cool. Thomas has a remarkable comeback rate of 83%, meaning when the chips are down, expect some Houdini moves!
On the psychological front, Thomas can sometimes tilt (about 23 on the scale), but that just adds flair to the battle and shows true passion. Their endgame technique shines bright with nearly 80% endgame exposure and an average of 75 moves per win — chess marathons are their specialty.
Thomas favors the mysterious realm of "Top Secret" openings, crushing opponents with nearly 49% wins in blitz and nearly 58% in daily games—probably because no one knows what moves Thomas is cooking up.
When not strategizing beneath the queen's gaze, Thomas entertains a streak of humor and charm, making every game a blend of brilliance and a bit of mischief. Opponents beware: you might just lose — and have fun doing it.
"Chess isn't just a game to Thomas; it’s a battlefield where knights dance, pawns scheme, and kings meet their doom — often in under 30 moves."
