By 2025, TomcatSpeed boasts impressive peak ratings: Blitz 1402, Bullet 1607, and a fiery Rapid rating hovering above 1300. Daily rated games seem to be his chill zone, with steady improvement and a solid 960 rating.

Quirks & Fun Facts
TomcatSpeed's longest winning streak stands at a mighty 22 games, with a current streak of 15 — that’s a lot of purrs and checkmates!
Playing at unconventional hours seems to pay off: 5 AM yields a 60.53% win rate, while a nap at 6 AM might be why he only wins 22.22% then.
He’s partial to “Top Secret” openings, with nearly half of his games in Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid played with this mysterious strategy, keeping opponents guessing.
Wins almost equally as White (about 50%) but struggles a bit as Black (44%), so TomcatSpeed might like starting with the initiative — or just prefers the sunny side of the board.
With thousands of games logged and a reputation for never giving up (those resignations only happen 5.81% of the time), TomcatSpeed is a tenacious competitor who’s ready to pounce on any opportunity — sometimes with a sly grin (and sometimes a mischievous twitch of the tail!). Whether it’s bullet speed or rapid tactics, this player’s a force to be reckoned with on the virtual chessboard.
