Profile: timtze

Meet timtze, a resilient and cunning chess player with a flair for the dramatic and a rating rollercoaster that tells a story of persistence, growth, and the occasional heroic comeback. Whether blitzing through games in the heat of the moment or carefully plotting long daily matches, timtze approaches the chessboard like a seasoned strategist with a dash of cheeky bravado.

Rating Highlights

  • Peak Bullet Rating: 592 (March 2024) – Inspired lightning-fast moves with a sprinkle of unpredictability.
  • Peak Blitz Rating: 768 (July 2024) – Nearly touching grandmaster speed, with just enough time left to grab a coffee.
  • Peak Rapid Rating: 675 (March 2024) – The sweet spot between frantic and thoughtful.
  • Peak Daily Rating: 835 (January 2024) – Patient, precise, and very good at pretending to ignore the clock.

Playing Style & Personality

Timtze's style is that of a battlefield maestro. His games average about 57 moves per win, proving that good things come to those who calculate. Known for an impressive 76.7% comeback rate, he’s the kind of player who refuses to throw in the towel until the very end — or until a timeout catches him. Speaking of which, with a time management eccentricity leading to many games ending on timeouts, timtze keeps opponents on edge with sudden bursts of frantic action and unexpected pauses.

The winning percentages paint a nuanced portrait: he often edges out opponents with Black pieces slightly better than with White (51.43% vs 49.97%), proving that even when not having the first move advantage, timtze knows how to stir the pot. Beware his penchant for the Caro-Kann Defense and the Italian Game, favorite openings that he's wielded in hundreds of duels with nearly even win-loss records — an evidence of both commitment and a fierce sense of rivalry.

Tactical Quirks and Trends

His early resignation rate is a modest 1.54%, which means he’s not one to give up easily (except maybe when the coffee machine breaks). Timtze’s psych profile shows a tilt factor of 10 — enough to keep it real and provide some viewer entertainment when the chips (or pawns) fall unexpectedly.

Time-wise, he’s a night owl chess warrior with his best playtime around 3 AM — when the world sleeps, timtze strikes on the virtual chessboards.

Career Record

In bullet chess, timtze has played over 2,000 games with 1122 wins and 1106 losses, dancing on the razor's edge between victory and defeat. In blitz, his win rate is solid, with 307 wins against 250 losses. Rapid games show more dominance with 48 wins and only 4 losses. And if it's daily chess, he’s undefeated (8-0), proving even the slowest time control can't dull his edge.

Epic Battles

His most recent triumphs tell a tale of nerves and timing. For instance, a nail-biting victory on June 1, 2025, using the Caro-Kann Defense to squeeze out a win on time — outlasting opponents with both wit and the clock’s mercy. Conversely, his recent losses like the one to surendra16 remind us that even the best warriors sometimes meet a worthy adversary.

Fun Facts

  • Loves throwing caution to the wind with Caro-Kann Defense variations — 342 bullet games and counting!
  • Enjoys streaks — his longest winning streak sits at 9 games, but watch out for his longest losing streak of 10 games, when he's probably practicing trash talk in the chat.
  • Opponents beware: timely resignation wins make up nearly 375 victories, showing he knows exactly when to blink and when to strike.
  • Frequently ruffles feathers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, where his win rates are highest — maybe a midweek mojo?

In sum, timtze is the kind of player you cheer for, laugh with, and sometimes shake your head at, all while admiring the chess ninja dance that only true dedication and a bit of madness can create.
