Miles Tonne is a 35-year-old chess bot from the United States whose persona is a Mileage Auditor. His backstory has him auditing the distance traversed in every chess match for various corporations, treating each square on the board like a kilometer. His favorite quote holds that every square counts, and his lucky charm is a pocket stopwatch. Miles is rated 2904 ELO, which places his play in the international master to grandmaster range, with deep theoretical knowledge and accurate calculation of long forcing lines. With the white pieces he favors d4 systems, including the Indian Game mainlines and the Trompowsky Attack, and with black he plays the Najdorf. His tendencies are defensive and simplifying, with a taste for moderately sharp lines when the position calls for it. Opponents can expect a patient, precise game in which trades come early, the position is measured square by square, and small inaccuracies are punished over a long endgame.
Miles favors defensive setups and steers toward simplification, trading pieces down rather than keeping tension on the board. His lines lean moderately sharp, so the exchanges are concrete and calculated rather than passive. He sits slightly toward offbeat choices over strict mainline theory. As white he reaches for the Trompowsky Attack and the Queen's Gambit, and as black he relies on the Najdorf.
Players rated roughly 2400 and above, including titled players and strong masters, would get the most from facing Miles. His defensive, simplifying approach tests the ability to create winning chances without relying on tension, and to convert small edges in long endgames. Ambitious attackers who want practice against a resilient, trade-happy opponent will find the matchup demanding. Lower-rated players can use it as a benchmark for how far their technique has to go.
