Tuna Onat Nalbant (tunadrol)
International Master - FIDE
Meet Tuna Onat Nalbant, a formidable International Master who’s been silently storming the chessboards since at least 2018 — and by storm, we mean a calculated hurricane of pawns, knights, and queens! With a peak Blitz rating of 2643 and a Bullet high of 2535, tunadrol isn’t just playing the game; they’re practically rewriting the rules of quickfire chess duels.
Known for a killer tactical awareness and an almost supernatural Comeback Rate of nearly 89%, Tuna doesn’t like to give up — except maybe when the clock runs out (let's not mention the tilt factor, a modest 13, indicating some fiery moments). Their average game lengths reveal a strategist who loves the long haul, with wins averaging 75 moves and losses stretching to 86 moves. Patience is indeed a virtue!
Style & Stats
- Blitz Mastery: Over 700 wins and a dynamic playstyle that thrives especially on Tuesday and Saturday, where win rates hover around 47-48%.
- Bullet Battles: A warrior with over 1000 wins and a peak rating pushing into the mid 2500s, showcasing rapid-fire brilliance.
- Rapid & Daily: Though a rarity in daily games, Tuna holds a perfect 1-0 record there, proving even casual formats can’t escape their winning touch.
While their openings remain Top Secret (literally), in rapid games they've flirted with the Sicilian Defense and Alekhine's Defense with sharp results. Their victories often come from relentless pressure and precise execution, culminating in some dazzling checkmates — including a recent one in just 22 moves that left opponents wondering if Tuna moonlights as a magician.
Memorable Moments
Tuna's latest victory was a masterclass in offense, finishing with a theatrical Qh8# checkmate, proving that sometimes it’s not just about moving pieces but about sending a statement (or perhaps a polite “Good game!” with style). And when defeat comes, it’s usually by a razor-thin margin or clock-outs — because who really likes to lose on time?
Off the Board
Whether you're facing tunadrol at 10 AM — their scientifically proven best time of day to play — or in a late-night blitz frenzy, be ready for a relentless opponent who combines deep endgame knowledge with tactical wizardry and a dash of fun unpredictability.
