Profile: Tomi Kewl (aka Tomikewll)

Meet Tomi Kewl, a rapid chess enthusiast known for both resilience and occasional bravado on the 64 squares. With a peak rapid rating of 970, Tomi is no stranger to the rollercoaster of wins and losses, boasting an almost even split with 47 victories against 44 defeats, and a single hard-fought draw. This player’s journey through tactical skirmishes, fierce defenses, and sneaky gambits could be a chess novel — if only the opponent’s resignations didn’t shorten the chapters!

Playing Style & Statistics

Tomi’s style blends endurance with tactical sharpness – with an average game length of around 54 moves, the motto seems to be: “Why rushing when the endgame is where the fun begins?” Known for a 68% comeback rate after losing material, Tomi fights like a cornered knight, often turning the tables from dicey situations. However, beware the occasional tilt factor of 5 — a reminder that even the coolest warriors can have their off days.

White pieces have brought him a bit more luck, with a win rate of 53%, but black is no pushover either at 49%. Early resignations are rare (a humble 2.3%), hinting at a never-say-die attitude even when stakes are high.

Favorite Openings & Performance

• Queen's Pawn Opening & Pirc Defense: Small sample sizes but perfect 100% win rates – future research needed!
• Italian Game: A challenging affair for Tomi, posting a rough 0% win rate in those 3 games — sometimes the knight just doesn’t hit the right squares.

Memorable Moments & Streaks

Tomi’s longest winning streak is a confident 4 games in a row, and currently riding a hot streak of 3 consecutive wins. Losses come in clumps sometimes, with a longest drought of 5 defeats — but no winning mindset is complete without a few hard lessons.

When & How to Challenge Tomi

Best times to catch Tomi in peak form? Around noon — that magical 12:00 PM window yields a perfect 100% win rate in games played then. Tuesday and Sunday seem to be friendlier days, with win rates flirting between 43% and 62%. Early morning blitz is not recommended — 0% win rate at 2:00 AM might mean Tomi isn’t a fan of the witching hour.
