Zhaoqi Liu - International Master & Chess Virtuoso

Meet Zhaoqi Liu, who proudly holds the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE. Known online as TomLiu777 in some circles, Zhaoqi is a fierce competitor across multiple time controls with a flair for the blitz battlefield and a knack for theatrical comebacks.

Since beginning their chess journey, Zhaoqi has demonstrated a rollercoaster ride of ratings, peaking at a blazing 2542 in blitz, and roaring back with jaw-dropping tactical wizardry that turns the tide even after losing key pieces—boasting an almost mythical 99.56% win rate after such setbacks. It’s as if Zhaoqi laughs in the face of lost material and says, "Watch this!"

Zhaoqi’s endgame prowess is no joke, featuring in nearly 80% of their games and often extending battles to a thrilling average of around 75 moves. Known for a measured and sometimes stubborn strategic style, they balance patient calculation with a tendency to accept early resignations about 10% of the time—because who wants to stay at the board when victory is out of reach, right?

Behind the numbers, Zhaoqi displays intriguing psychological patterns too: a modest tilt factor reminding us they’re human, and a striking pattern of playing best at oddly specific hours during the day—like 8 AM with an electrifying 79.31% win rate, or midnight with a perfect 100% win record. Clearly, Zhaoqi is either a chess machine or just very nocturnal.

Legendary Streaks & Rivalries

Their longest winning streak clocks in at an impressive 16 games, but true mastery is reflected in their resilience and adaptability across opponents—some of whom remain undefeated against Zhaoqi (looking at you, "barmen_ev" and "nekotyanof"), while others have been mercilessly crushed with perfect win rates (100% against multiple players). Zhaoqi’s opening repertoire with the cryptic name "Top Secret" covers over 400 blitz games, proving they keep their cards close to the chest.

Whether storming through blitz matches like a whirlwind, grinding in rapid games, or tactically dancing in bullet time, Zhaoqi Liu remains an enigmatic and formidable figure on the chessboard—just don’t ask them to play for pancakes at 3 AM.
