Tobi Felix – Woman Candidate Master & Chess Combatant
Meet Tobi Felix, known in the chess world (and occasionally on Chess.com) as toobi. Awarded the prestigious title of Woman Candidate Master by FIDE, Tobi is a spirited player who embraces the rollercoaster ride that is chess competition. With a peak blitz rating of 1362 and a daily rating high of 1200, Tobi showcases a mix of tactical daring and moments of humility.
Starting out boldly in 2014, Tobi's style can best be described as "fearless experimentation," often diving into openings like the mysterious Unknown Opening and the enigmatic Top Secret. They’re not afraid to resign early (almost half the time!), proving it’s not about how long you stand on the board—it’s about how stylishly you exit.
Tobi's recent victories are often battles won on time rather than checkmate, demonstrating a knack for blitzing opponents into submission. Indeed, their best moves often happen around 11 PM—because who doesn't play their sharpest chess when the world is asleep and the elbow grease is replaced by moonlight inspiration?
Despite a few tough streaks (including a notorious 4-game losing spree), Tobi keeps swinging. With a comeback rate of over 33%, toobi can recover when it matters and sometimes even when it doesn’t. Their opponents have learned never to underestimate the player who manages a win against got_lost with a crisp resignation from the opponent.
Off the board, Tobi Felix is a good humored warrior in the grand chess arena, proving that while ratings fluctuate, passion never wanes. The motto? "Win, lose, or timeout—it’s all part of the game!"
