Profile Summary: thummmper

Meet thummmper, a spirited rapid chess enthusiast known equally for determination and a flair for the Scandinavian Defense. This player has danced through over 5,000 rapid games with a famed peak rating of 754 in June 2025, proving that slow and steady (well, mostly rapid) does win the race—sometimes with a queen on the board, sometimes with a cheeky resignation from the opponent.

With a strategic mindset, thummmper boasts a respectable 55% win rate using the Scandinavian Defense in rapid games, alongside trusty companions like the Scotch Game and King's Pawn Openings—favorite battlegrounds where tactical finesse shines. Though never one to shy away from complexity, they have a quirky habit of picking openings with names that sound like exotic dance moves (Center Game, anyone?).

Thummmper's playstyle is a fascinating blend of patience and resilience: an average of 54 moves per win shows that victories are no quick affairs, but neither are losses dragged out endlessly (average loss game is about 60 moves). Their 83% comeback rate after tricky positions and an impressive psychological fortitude underline a player who doesn’t just play the board, but also the mind.

Notable for a tilt factor of just 12 (which means if thummmper tilts, it’s a brief and not-so-terribly dramatic tumble), the player’s best battles happen around 10 AM, perhaps fueled by a strong cup of coffee and dreams of checkmates.

While the Bullet and Blitz arenas haven't been as kind (ratings lingering in the 400s and 500s), thummmper’s dedication to the rapid format is evident. This focus has brought some spectacular moments, including recent 🔥 checkmate victories; including a thrilling win against OHmyBEWOK with a classic Scotch Game, culminating in a smooth queen checkmate.

Off the board, thummmper enjoys the strategic nuance of the game and has a playful relationship with opponents—some are bested with 100% win rates, while others, like the mysterious poke9288767, have proven trickier foes. But every game, whether win or loss, adds to their rich tapestry of experience.

Fun Fact

Despite all the battle scars collected across countless matches, thummmper's favorite “opening” might just be the snack break right after their opponent resigns!
