Timmy

Timmy - The Endgame Enthusiast

Known online as Tri23SAV, Timmy is a rapid chess player whose journey is as unpredictable as his rating graph — soaring from modest beginnings around 800 in mid-2023 to peaking above 1100 in April 2025. Not quite grandmaster territory yet, but definitely a force to reckon with in the world of rapid chess.

Playing Style

Timmy is mostly an endgame specialist, engaging in endgames in over 55% of his matches. With an average game lasting around 56 moves, patience is clearly one of his virtues. When it comes to fighting back, he has an impressive comeback rate of nearly 70% — proving that no position is truly lost until Timmy’s rook blunders or he resigns early (which he only does about 2.5% of the time).

Strength & Weakness

Although Timmy thrives when focused and calm, he does tend to experience the dreaded "tilt" with a tilt factor of 11. His best time of day to play is precisely at 10:00 AM (set your alarms!). Interestingly, despite his strong comeback rate, his win rate after losing a piece drops to about 43%, indicating he’s better at capitalizing on even positions rather than salvage missions.

Stats & Records

• All-time rapid wins: 2,795
• Rapid losses: 2,819 (a neck-and-neck rivalry with defeat)
• Draws: 270 (because sometimes Timmy, like the rest of us, just wants to go home early)
• Peak Rapid Rating: 1116 (April 2025)
• Longest Winning Streak: 10 games
• Longest Losing Streak: 11 games

Opening Expertise

Timmy’s favorite opening is his guarded "Top Secret" strategy — played in 5,595 games! Besides that, he has a fondness for the Caro-Kann Defense and its variants, boasting above 55% win rates there, which might be his chess comfort food. Other staples in his repertoire include the Four Knights Game and the King’s Pawn variations, though those have been slightly less kind in results.

Recent Battles

Timmy recently clinched a victory against Gagakngelak by resignation, showcasing his ability to force errors in under 11 moves in a Four Knights Game. Not all days are wins though; he suffered a tough loss to hmrojas123 after a hard-fought Pirc Defense battle where his opponent called “checkmate” right before his morning coffee.

Fun Facts

• Timmy plays best from 22:00 to 10:00 hours, with a mysterious peak performance right at 10 AM.
• His neglect of moves around midday (not many wins between 9:00 and 13:00) leads us to believe Timmy is power napping or fueling up on chess snacks.
• Timmy’s preference for resignations as a termination method shows he's learned not to waste time in hopeless positions—a true pragmatic warrior.

In a nutshell, Timmy is a dedicated, endgame-loving rapid player with a knack for comebacks and a quirky morning peak. Whether he’s conquering the Caro-Kann or karate-chopping his opponents in the Four Knights, he’s a player who proves that chess is a marathon, not a sprint — with plenty of coffee breaks in between.
