Known by the Italian phrase for "You shall not pass," Tu-non-puoi-passare has made quite a name for themselves on the chessboard, especially in rapid games. With a steadily climbing rapid rating soaring from 1243 in 2024 to an impressive 1475 in 2025, this player embodies persistence and occasional bravado.
Playing nearly 4,000 rapid games over two years, Tu-non-puoi-passare has managed a balanced record of almost equal wins and losses, with 1,913 victories and 1,879 defeats sprinkled with 250 draws, proving that every game is a battlefield—and sometimes no prisoners are taken.
Playing Style & Strengths
- White pieces reign: Commanding a respectable 51.11% win rate playing White, while the Black pieces pose a slightly tougher challenge with a 43.39% win rate.
- Endgame aficionado: With an endgame frequency of 67.54%, they drag opponents into the late stages, hoping to outlast and outwit.
- Tactical resilience: Showcasing a remarkable comeback rate of 81.15%, Tu-non-puoi-passare wears losses like badges of honor and bounces back even stronger.
- Never surrender: Exhibiting an almost legendary 100% win rate after losing a piece, clearly demonstrating not even a lost pawn can shake their resolve.
But beware: an Early Resignation Rate of under 1% means they rarely give up without a fight—except when maybe the sandwich timer rings or the cat demands attention.
Quirks and Quips
With a longest winning streak of 12 games and currently on a modest 2-game streak, this player knows how to ride a wave of momentum. They frequently face tough opponents like newbie945 and murat501, who sometimes sneak past their defenses, while others such as ladejsunday and civilizedrook apparently have a tough time breaking through.
When to Catch Them Online
Peak performance hours hover around early evening, especially between 19:00 and 20:00, where win rates soar near 50%. Mornings can be a gamble (brace for almost 71% at 8:00 AM!), and late-night games... well, let's just say that 23:00 hour is a strict "no-win zone," maybe due to fatal sleep deprivation or surprise dance-offs.
Overall
Tu-non-puoi-passare is a gritty chess warrior with a flair for the dramatic, a never-say-die attitude, and an impressive capacity to turn losing positions into triumphant wins. Whether lurking in rapid duels or darting through blitz skirmishes, this player proves that on the chessboard—just like in life—you shall not pass without a stylish fight.
