Meet Tomas Polak, known in chess circles as TomasPolak74, a Grandmaster whose moves are as mysterious as his favorite openings – all marked Top Secret. With a FIDE title crowning their chess prowess, Tomas has turned the 64-square battlefield into a playground of strategic wizardry and tactical brilliance.

Rated impressively in multiple formats, Tomas reached a peak rapid rating of 2752 in 2021, while blitz battles humbly echoed with highs above 2580. Bullet chess fans witnessed a rollercoaster ride from a high of 2647 to more recent spirited performances just past 2300. Tomas isn’t just playing games—they’re crafting performances, boasting an extraordinary blitz win rate of 83% over 53 games and a strong rapid record with no losses in recent outings.

If you thought Tomas was all style and no substance, think again. Their longest winning streak spans an astonishing 19 consecutive games, proving that when the pieces fall right, it’s a relentless march to victory. And while the current winning streak rests at zero, every grandmaster knows: sometimes the real game is bouncing back with a smile and a new strategy.

Tomas’ chess style? Patient and endgame-focused – with nearly 73% of games reaching this crucial phase, often wrapping up wins with an average of just under 70 moves. Playing with the white pieces is especially fruitful, flaunting an 87.5% win rate. Black doesn’t lag far behind, maintaining a solid 70% win rate, suggesting Tomas can spin gold from either color.

Their psychological resilience is noteworthy too—a tilt factor of just 2 means Tomas hardly lets losses ruffle their feathers, bouncing back with near-perfect tactical awareness. Win after losing a piece? Tomas’ 100% success rate in these nerve-wracking moments turns setbacks into comeback stories worthy of a Hollywood script.

Opponents beware: Tomas has an enviable track record, sweeping a perfect 100% win rate against several rivals including czpeeeter, vishnuvijay2007, and jannovak43. Not to mention a cooler-than-ice 83% success against mkmaster7.

When it comes to timing, Tomas is a creature of the day—racking up perfect scores on Mondays and Thursdays, and an almost flawless Friday performance at nearly 93%. Late nights might not be their forte, with a surprising 0% win rate at 8 PM sharp. Maybe even grandmasters need their beauty sleep.

Tomas Polak is more than just a chess player. They’re a strategic artist, a come-back kid, and a reminder that the game is as much mental endurance as it is calculated moves. Whether blitzing with fury or methodically dancing through rapid rounds, Tomas proves that chess secrets are best kept close—and victories even closer.
