ToluDara

Player Profile: ToluDara

Meet ToluDara, a spirited chess enthusiast whose rapid rating has seen more twists and turns than a knight on a 5x5 board. With a peak rapid rating of 238 achieved in February 2025, ToluDara blends ambition with a touch of unpredictable flair — as anyone who has witnessed their game could tell you.

Although ToluDara's current rating hovers around 142, they have demonstrated a passion for puzzle-like openings and strategic surprises. Favorites include the Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation, where they've won 6 out of 11 games, and the ever-reliable Reti Opening boasting a pretty impressive 62.5% win rate. The Polish Opening is their secret sauce, winning 75% of those games — basically, opening magic with a dash of polish!

ToluDara isn’t just a one-trick pony. Their games are an entertaining rollercoaster with occasional lengthy losing streaks (up to 6 games in a row) but also shining moments of brilliance — a 5-game winning streak and presently riding a 3-game win streak. They’re that player who might resign early about 12% of the time, but when they do win, it usually takes close to 32 moves of tactical maneuvering.

Psychological resilience? ToluDara keeps tilt to a modest 6 on the scale, showing admirable nerve even if the chess gods don’t always smile upon them. They perform best in the late evening, especially around 10 PM, turning nights into battlegrounds for victory. White or black? Slight edge for black with a 43% win rate, suggesting they’re comfortable playing the dark squares.

Some opponents seem to be their kryptonite — jyuurian and azteck7991 have never lost a game against them — while others like yash-jaat90 and sahid_18 have been left in the dust with a perfect 100% win record for ToluDara. Definitely a player who learns and adapts.
