CariTuki: The Chessboard Voyager

With a rating journey as dramatic as a Shakespearean play, CariTuki has been making waves on the digital chess battlefield since 2023. Blitz attacks have seen CariTuki soar from a humble 480 rating in early 2023 to a sizzling peak of 1384 in 2024, followed by a slight but respectable dip, showing that even chess adventurers face rough seas. Their rapid games tell a tale of steady improvement, cresting at a solid 1503 in 2024—proof that patience and quick wit are their trusty companions.

Known among peers for a rather unique “Top Secret” opening repertoire, CariTuki has managed to earn win rates hovering around the 50-66% mark across all time controls. This mysterious style has baffled many, and even rivals can only guess what tactical trick lies behind this enigmatic label.

Style and Strategy

This player combines a relatively low early resignation rate (3%) with a hearty endurance through endgames (over 61% of games). CariTuki's average winning games last just over 65 moves, proving they don’t rush off the board without a fight. Yet, when losses come, they don’t hang around too long either—exiting on average after about 59 moves.

Psychologically, CariTuki is quite the resilient gladiator, boasting a remarkable comeback rate near 78% and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. However, every hero has their Achilles' heel — with a tilt factor of 11, CariTuki occasionally channels their inner drama queen, sometimes leading to less-than-stellar casual game results compared to rated ones.

Opponents and Records

When facing old rivals, few stand a chance: CariTuki boasts a long list of opponents with a 100% win rate, while a few, like curry377 and chasincharlie11, have proven stubborn adversaries. The record shows fascinating rivalries peppered with crushing victories and a sprinkle of humility.

When and How

CariTuki shines brightest in the evenings and on weekends, with the best win rates ticking up around evening hours (around 16:00-18:00) and especially on Saturday (56% win rate). Interestingly, their midday and late-night games also hold some secret power with peak win rates over 60% at noon and 11 AM.

In the Words of the Board

Mysterious and cunning, CariTuki approaches chess not just as a game but as an epic saga. With hundreds of games behind them across bullet, blitz, rapid, and daily formats, this player balances speed and patience like a maestro conducting a symphony. Whether waking up the chessboard with a quick bullet or unraveling intricate puzzles in rapid, CariTuki’s journey remains a fascinating one to watch.

In short, watch your back if you face CariTuki — their pieces might disappear with a blink, only to reappear in your nightmares.
