Chess Player Profile: Twis1ed
Meet Twis1ed, the rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster would give any theme park a run for its money! From humble beginnings in 2024, climbing from a modest Rapid rating of 596 to an impressive 1196 in 2025, Twis1ed's journey through the ranks proves that persistence (and perhaps a little bit of chaos) pays off.
Twis1ed is a specialist in the mysterious realm of the Top Secret opening, having played well over 1800 rapid games with a respectable win rate hovering just under 50%. In faster formats like Blitz and Bullet, Twis1ed shines with win rates edging above 50%, showing quick reflexes and a knack for fast attacks. Legend has it that their longest winning streak was a jaw-dropping 17 games, making opponents question reality (or at least their move choices).
When it comes to style, Twis1ed is no quitter—quite the opposite! Early resignation is a rare event here, only about 2.4% of games, as they battle through endgames with incredible endurance, averaging over 60 moves per game whether winning or losing. The comeback king? Definitely! A stunning 76.88% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece means never count Twis1ed out early.
Strategically versatile, Twis1ed fluctuates a bit between white and black pieces but maintains a slight edge when playing as White. Their psychological resilience is admirable, managing tilt decently well with a factor of 9 (because who doesn’t get a little salty?). And when the clock ticks down, their sharpest hours are between 9 am and 10 am boasting win rates of 75% and 60% respectively—morning coffee must be strong!
Known for battling online and facing a vast array of challengers—from “spidermew” to “majidtaheri”—Twis1ed manages a mixed bag of results with some opponents, crushing a few with 100% win rates while struggling against others who keep the record clean.
In short, Twis1ed is the embodiment of a chess warrior: strategic, resilient, occasionally mysterious, and always ready for the next move. Whether rapid, blitz, or bullet, Twis1ed plays with a twist—never dull, always unpredictable!
