Player Profile: TMTor

Meet TMTor, a Blitz and Bullet chess maestro with a penchant for stylish, yet unpredictable games. With a peak Blitz rating nudging 2981 and Bullet topping out near 2943, this player has danced on the razor’s edge of online chess greatness since 2018. TMTor’s journey is marked by fierce battles, stamina-testing streaks, and a distinct love for complex openings.

Starting out in late 2018 with a rating around 1965 for Blitz, TMTor swiftly ascended the leaderboard like a rook on a mission, ending 2019 comfortably near 2823. Bullet ratings followed a similar trajectory with some rollercoaster moments, proving TMTor isn't afraid of a fast and furious time control—even if it means flirting with the edge of sanity!

Style and Strategy

Known for a stubborn refusal to resign early—rocking an endgame frequency above 82%—TMTor relishes the grind. Expect long battles (averaging 84 moves in wins), dramatic comebacks (86% comeback rate, no less), and a tendency to keep opponents guessing with first captures delayed until around move 7. There's a psychological flair too, with a tilt factor low enough to suggest this player rarely lets a bad game spoil the mood (10%), although they confess midnight is prime time for brilliance.

Favorite Openings

TMTor wields a mighty diverse opening repertoire, with a clear preference for unorthodox and offbeat lines. In Blitz, the Modern Defense, Indian Game, and variations of the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack pepper their playbook, scoring between 31-54% win rates—sometimes taking the scenic route to victory. Bullet play notoriously favors aggressive Modern Defense lines and the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Indian Variation, with win rates hitting an impressive 68.5% and 62+% respectively.

Notable Highlights

  • Longest winning streak: 12 games (because sometimes the stars align perfectly)
  • Master of the unexpected checkmate finish, as demonstrated in recent games with a flawless array of tactical surprises
  • Fierce rivalries: regularly squares off against micki-taryan (282 games!), and manages a cheeky 50% bite back

Recent Triumph

In a recent stunning game, TMTor vanquished an opponent playing the Scotch Game Schmidt Variation by resignation after a well-crafted strategic onslaught — a true demonstration of patience and precision under pressure.

TMTor embodies the perfect blend of resilient endgame expertise, tactical flair, and an eclectic opening repertoire. A force to be reckoned with in the online blitz and bullet arenas, they never shy away from a challenge (or a good pawn storm).

Keep an eye on this player — you might just catch one of their thrilling games live and wonder how they managed to pull that off!
