TigerTiggy: A National Master with a Bullet Heart

TigerTiggy is a National Master whose online career has never been tame. The preferred time control is bullet, where one mouse slip decides everything, and TigerTiggy has spent years thriving in that beautiful chaos. Add in a blitz peak of 2617 (2026-02-27) and a bullet peak of 2594 (2023-01-24), and you have a player who can outpace almost anyone when the clock is screaming.

The story starts in 2019 with a modest blitz rating near 1967. Within months the rating jumped past 2300, and by early 2026 TigerTiggy crossed the 2600 barrier in blitz. The road was bumpy, with a 15 game winning streak and a 17 game losing streak, but the tiger always came back hunting.

A Comeback Artist Who Never Quits

Opening Repertoire

As white, TigerTiggy almost always opens with e4 and heads straight into sharp battles. The Sicilian Defense is a lifelong companion, especially the Chekhover and Alapin variations. The Caro-Kann Defense and French Defense appear whenever opponents try to avoid the open games. With black, the Alapin Variation and the Gruenfeld Defense provide steady counterplay.
