In the fast-paced arena of bullet chess, Tony's less frequent but spirited attempts (just over 30 games in 2025) exhibit moments of brilliance and a tenacious spirit. His rapid games in recent years reflect a player still sharpening his skills with a peak rating near 1098 in 2023, demonstrating versatility across time controls.

Even after losing a piece, he boasts an incredible 100% win rate, proving that giving up is not in his vocabulary.
Psychological quirks aside, with a tilt factor of 18, Tony might get a bit cranky when the going gets tough, but who wouldn’t after such intense blitz wars? Also, he has a strong preference for grinding out endgames, occurring almost 80% of the time, possibly hinting at a fondness for the classic tension of the game’s final phase.
Day or night, Tony plays with passion—the hours just before dawn and the late evenings seem to bring out his best with win rates peaking around 50-52%. But don't expect him to take an early nap: early resignations are rare in his book, clocking in under 1.1%, because this knight fights until the last move.
Off the board, Sartono’s record against opponents is a mixed bag of “he wins some, he loses some,” but his long winning streak of 16 games proves he can go full beast mode when the stars align.
