Player Profile: TTNing
In the vast battlefield of 64 squares, TTNing dances a curious tango between brilliance and chaos. Rated highest in Rapid chess with a score soaring at 707, TTNing clearly favors the thoughtful battle over bullet’s blitz frenzy—though they do dabble in all formats, from the frenetic bullet (peaking at 494) to the measured daily games (peaking at 400).
Known for a rather unique cocktail of openings, TTNing embraces the Scandinavian Defense with borderline obsessive dedication: nearly a thousand games and an almost equal split between wins and losses make it their battlefield of choice. But beware, opponents! Their trusty Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense is their secret weapon, boasting a solid 65.93% win rate in bullet.
TTNing’s playstyle is a blend of resilience and persistence. With a comeback rate north of 64%, they refuse to go down without a fight, occasionally tilting with a hint of frustration (tilt factor 9), but their persistence is admirable if not slightly intimidating.
When it comes to time of day, TTNing performs best near midnight (23:00), when the mind is sharpest and probably caffeine-fueled. Their average wins take a solid 40 moves, showing patience and strategic depth; losses take slightly longer, proving TTNing seldom throws in the towel early except during that brief 2.18% early resignation rate.
With a total of over 2,000 bullet games played, their record hovers just below 50% wins, reflecting a crazy rollercoaster ride of victories and defeats—taking “live and learn” to a professional level.
Fun fact:
- TTNing loves winning on time—778 wins ended due to opponents' clocks ticking down!
- Their opening repertoire is so varied, it reads like a chess encyclopedia, with a dabble in everything from the Philidor Defense to the Mieses-Kotrc Variation.
- Longest winning streak? A respectable 9 games. Longest losing streak? Also 9 games. Clearly, TTNing’s life is balanced.
Overall, TTNing is a fighter, a strategist, and occasionally, a time management ninja. So if you face them, be ready for a match that tests your patience, your tactics, and your clock!
