Tom

Meet Tom: The Chessboard Biologist

Tom (username: tomdxb0004) is not just another chess player — he’s a grand experiment in the evolution of strategy and tactics. With a rapid rating that has flourished from humble beginnings around 1100 in 2021 to a steady 1224 in 2024, Tom’s growth reminds us that in the game of chess, just like in biology, adaptation is key.

Opening His Genetic Code

Tom's opening repertoire strongly leans on the Pirc Defense, clocking 51 games there with a respectable 45% win rate. He also shows a fondness for the King's Gambit, boasting an impressive 87.5% win rate in rapid matches and a perfect 100% in the King's Gambit Declined Queens Knight Defense – proving he’s not afraid to go for some evolutionary gambits that keep opponents guessing.

Other favored “adaptations” include the London System and Indian Game, showing that Tom likes to keep his defenses varied and his evolutionary tree branching wide.

A Winning Streak: Darwin Would Approve

Tom recently completed a longest winning streak of 11 consecutive games in rapid play, currently riding that same streak. Talk about natural selection favoring the swift and strategic!

Tactical DNA and Playstyle

Known for resilience and comeback prowess, Tom boasts a remarkable 65% comeback rate and even a 100% win rate after losing a piece. This tactical immunity to setbacks shows his ability to regenerate winning chances where others might go extinct. While his average moves per win hover around 53, his losses tend to be lengthier battles, averaging 62 moves—a sign that he fights off challenges like a true survivor.

Tom's games often evolve slowly, with an endgame frequency of over 60%, preferring to let his strategies blossom fully before the final checkmate “species” emerges. He’s more successful playing with the white pieces, scoring almost 59% wins—perhaps because white is better suited for early dominance in his 'ecosystem.'

Chess Opponents: The Ecosystem Around Tom

In Tom's competitive habitat, his favorite prey is hunsknights, a rival he's encountered 190 times with a solid 53% win rate. Meanwhile, his record against alankurian727, 1omara, and khalil917 is a spotless 100% — no survival slips there!

Personality Traits and Fun Facts

• Tom’s early resignation rate is low (3.12%)—he doesn’t give up easily and prefers to push fights to their Darwinian extremes.
• He performs best mid-morning and late afternoon, with a near-perfect 100% win rate at 8 and 11 AM — the prime hours for his brain cells to synapse their strategy.
• Psychological tilt is minimal, with a tilt factor of 5, showing he keeps his neural pathways cool even under check.

In short, Tom is a fascinating chess organism continually evolving his playstyle, perfectly blending aggression with resilience. Whether on rapid or blitz stages, he’s an adaptable contender, ready to outwit, outplay, and outlast the competition — truly a species to watch on the chessboard’s vast ecosystem.
