About TsukyChess

Meet TsukyChess, the rapid-fire tactician navigating the 64 squares with a mix of daring and occasional resignation (27% early bow-outs, to be exact). Their journey through the chess realm is like a rollercoaster — a thrilling ride peppered with highs, lows, and a few heart-stopping comebacks.

With a peak Rapid rating of 571 achieved in June 2023 and an impressive Blitz peak at 558 as of October 2023, TsukyChess has shown flashes of brilliance that would make any queen jealous. Despite a win/loss record in Rapid games balancing more losses (36) than wins (28), their comeback rate is a whopping 63%, giving them the resilience to claw back even after losing a piece.

Known for their mystical "Unknown Openings" (because who needs theory when you can keep opponents guessing?), TsukyChess played 65 Rapid games with this approach, winning 43% of the time – the true "top secret" formula for chaos on the board. TsukyChess has a knack for checkmating opponents rather than dragging out draws, with 15 wins by mate versus only 2 stalemates.

Despite occasional losing streaks stretching to five games, TsukyChess can light up the board with a five-game winning streak showing they’re no pushover. Their preferred battlefield? Early mornings around 4 AM—yes, TsukyChess is a nocturnal strategist who does their best thinking while the world sleeps.

Off the board, TsukyChess’s opponents have a mixed track record: while some like abckings, absbdbkb, and flyingangler1 have felt the sting of defeat 100% of the time, others, including saadnida and mictur, remain pesky rivals who refuse to fall. TsukyChess’s psychological tilt factor is a modest 5, so while they’re human, they keep their cool better than most.

Signature Victory

One of the most memorable battles was a Rapid game on March 26, 2025, where TsukyChess, playing white, brilliantly maneuvered through the Queen’s Pawn Opening to win on time against mdfaheem4. This game reflects their ability to outlast and outwit even in the tightest scenarios.
