Tom Beaud’huy: The Chessboard Biologist
Known on the digital battlefield as TomRMCF, Tom Beaud’huy is a fascinating player whose chess career is as dynamic as a cellular mitosis! With a rapid growth in rating over the years, Tom's strategic DNA has evolved from a modest Rapid rating of 346 in 2021 to an impressive Blitz rating of 480 in 2025, and even cracking a 1027 Daily rating in that same year — talk about a cellular divide and conquer!
Tom’s style is a true evolutionary marvel: embracing endgames in nearly 70% of his games, he prefers a prolonged battle where pawns replicate up the board and pieces morph into threatening combinations. His average winning games clock in just under 64 moves, showing a patient, methodical approach likened to the slow but steady growth of a neuron. Losses tend to last even longer, showcasing a stubborn resilience against checkmate.
With a comeback rate of 70.83%, it’s clear Tom thrives under pressure — much like a chloroplast harvesting sunlight to fuel a comeback! Remarkably, when a piece is lost, Tom’s win rate astonishingly jumps to 100% — talk about turning a cellular mutation into a survival advantage!
Opening Moves: Tom’s Opening Genome
-
Blitz Favorites: Tom’s “Queens Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense” dominates with a 90% win rate, a genetic marker of success; the Englund Gambit and Pirc Defense also branch off as preferred loci.
-
Rapid Strategies: The “Van t Kruijs Opening” serves as a robust backbone with over 50% wins, while the Kings Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation appears more like an experimental plasmid with a modest 28% success rate.
Tom’s psychological constitution shows a tilt factor of 9 — a normal amount of cellular stress — but his rated vs casual win difference of nearly 45% highlights how he thrives when the evolutionary stakes are highest. Matchups tend to be fiercely competitive, with Tom maintaining persistent rivalries against opponents like “shamasui” and strategic encounters against a wide variety of challengers.
When playing times are dissected, Tom exhibits peak metabolic energy around 6 PM with a 54% win rate, and impressively an enigmatic 75% win rate at the early hour of 1 AM — perhaps when nocturnal instincts take over. Saturdays and Wednesdays are his most fertile days on the chessboard, yielding the highest win percentages.
All in all, Tom Beaud’huy is a grand experiment in chess evolution: adapting, thriving, and replicating success with the precision of a DNA polymerase. Whether opening with a gambit or defending in a dense endgame forest, Tom continues to evolve, proving that in the fascinating world of chess biology, mutation can indeed lead to checkmate.
