Profile of Tuzibaba

International Master & Blitz Maestro

Tuzibaba, proudly holding the FIDE title of International Master, is a chess player whose passion for blitz is nothing short of legendary. With a peak blitz rating soaring at 2611 in early 2025, Tuzibaba demonstrates a fierce competitive spirit and tactical sharpness that keeps opponents constantly on their toes.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2020 with a blitz rating climbing rapidly from 800 to over 2300 within months, Tuzibaba has maintained a thrilling rollercoaster of games—clocking over 2,100 wins in blitz with a commendable win rate exceeding 54% in their most played opening, affectionately dubbed Top Secret. If you're curious, this "secret" involves a generous dose of sharp tactics and cunning positional play.

Rapid and bullet formats are no strangers either. Tuzibaba enjoys a solid 2300 rating peak in both rapid and bullet, showcasing versatility across time controls. Despite blitz love, bullet peak at 2300 speaks to their lightning-fast calculation skills.

Playing Style & Psychology

An intriguing aspect of Tuzibaba’s chess personality is the razor-thin early resignation rate—a mere 0.9%—meaning they prefer to grind it out to the bitter end, averaging 74 moves in wins and even more in losses. That stamina pays off with a staggering 88.4% comeback rate when faced with adversity, proving this player never backs down.

However, don’t be fooled—Tuzibaba admits to a tilt factor of 8, so don’t expect a perfectly zen mental state after a loss. On the bright side, their best time of day to unleash chess brilliance is midnight, which possibly explains their tendency to outwit opponents when the moon is high.

Notable Stats & Quirks

  • Longest winning streak: 25 games — talk about hot streaks!
  • Current losing streak: 1 game — hardly a slump.
  • Win rate when playing White: 57.1%
  • Win rate when playing Black: 52.5%
  • Favorite and most successful opening: Top Secret with an over 54% win rate in blitz

Recent Battles

Tuzibaba’s latest games display a strategic feast: a swift victory against “shanoo23” by a graceful game abandonment, a resilient win on time versus "oliviersillam," and a tough loss to "Patronzito" by resignation. These shifts reveal Tuzibaba’s penchant for tactical fireworks combined with stubborn resilience.

All in all, Tuzibaba remains a captivating figure on the online chess battlefield—equipped with a cracking combination of endurance, tactical genius, and, let’s be honest, a bit of mystery surrounding their secret weapons. Keep an eye on this International Master as they continue to make waves, one blitz game at a time.

What your recent rapid games show

You have a very strong run: 15 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw across your latest rapid games. Your rating trend over the past several months is positive, with noticeable gains, which indicates you are building experience and confidence under time pressure.

Your strengths

  • Sharp finishing ability: you frequently convert favorable middlegames into wins, and you demonstrated decisive tactics that led to quick endings.
  • Flexible and well-prepared openings: your openings performance data shows you play a wide range of lines effectively, giving you practical comfort in different types of positions.
  • Consistent improvement over time: the rating trend over three to six months shows solid growth, suggesting your study and practice are paying off in rapid play.

Areas to improve

  • Time management under rapid conditions: keep a steady pace so you don’t reach critical moments with too little time left. Use quick, solid moves in quieter moments and reserve deep calculations for key decisions.
  • Balance aggression with prophylaxis: your tactical play is strong, but pair it with careful consideration of your opponent’s threats to avoid giving counterplay opportunities.
  • Endgame consolidation: when you gain material or a clear edge, focus on simplifying to a favorable endgame and avoid risky complications that could invite a comeback.

Action plan for the coming weeks

  • Solidify a compact opening repertoire: lean on your top-performing lines such as Barnes Defense and French Defense variations, and write down two or three clear middlegame plans for each.
  • Daily quick tactics practice: solve 15–20 puzzles to sharpen calculation under pressure.
  • Practice with tempo-friendly drills: play practice games with longer increments to build patterns, then apply those insights in rapid games.
  • Post-game review habit: after each game, identify the critical moment and consider a better plan you could have followed in that moment.

Notes on openings performance

Your openings data shows very strong results across multiple lines, indicating a flexible and well-prepared repertoire. Continue leveraging your strongest lines while expanding a couple of reliable alternatives to stay unpredictable. If you want to focus, consider building a two-line core repertoire for each color that you can rely on under time pressure. Examples of strong lines in your data include Barnes Defense and Scandinavian Defense.

What I can tailor next

If you’d like, I can prepare a concise, annotated plan for the next two weeks, focusing on two key areas: sharpening calculation in typical middlegames and reinforcing your solid opening plans for rapid play.
