Chess Player Profile: tlfosen

Meet tlfosen, a rapidly ascending chess enthusiast whose journey began humbly around 2023 with a modest blitz rating starting below 530. Fast forward to 2025, and tlfosen has catapulted into the mid-1600s in blitz and nearly 1580 in bullet—no small feat for anyone who enjoys the game as much as they enjoy a well-timed blunder... and then the comeback!

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a low early resignation rate (only 0.6%, because giving up early is just not their style), tlfosen thrives in the endgame, diving into complex finales with a frequency of 72.9%. They average about 70 moves per game, showing impressive stamina and tenacity. Whether wielding the white or black pieces, tlfosen maintains a solid win rate above 58%, proving consistency regardless of color.

The tactical awareness is commendable: with a 76.5% comeback rate after setbacks, and a cool 56% win rate even after losing a piece, tlfosen is the kind of player who laughs in the face of adversity — or at least glares intensely while scrambling to recover.

Opening Repertoire

Opening mysteries abound! Their top-notch performance in "Top Secret" openings, with nearly 60% win rate in blitz and an even hotter 70% in bullet, keeps opponents guessing—and often losing. The Unknown Opening is also a favorite, boasting win rates above 60%. Classic lines like the Caro-Kann and London System occasionally make appearances but with mixed success—proving tlfosen isn’t afraid to experiment, even if it sometimes means a bumpy ride.

Memorable Matches

Among recent memorable victories, tlfosen delivered a beautiful checkmate employing the Queen’s Pawn Opening, elegantly shutting down the opponent after a fierce battle. Losses happen, of course—recent defeats by checkmate remind that even the best falter, especially against SANDRTRADES or samaparas, who seem to have a knack for disrupting tlfosen’s otherwise stellar record.
