Uru Tora Mann (aka chesstkidding)

Meet Uru Tora Mann, a chess enthusiast who has danced passionately across the 64 squares since 2013. Starting with a humble Bullet rating of 1278, this resilient warrior quickly ramped up to an impressive 1957 by 2025, showing that practice and perseverance really do pay off—even if it means losing a few battles to learn the game.

Playing Profile

  • Specialty: A bullet and blitz wizard, showing his speed and wit in fast-paced games where every second counts.
  • Endgame Specialist: Plays long games with an average of 63 moves per win — this is patience personified on the board.
  • Comeback Artist: Has an 85.1% comeback rate and an incredible 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving unstoppable resilience.

Psychological Mood Swings

With a low tilt factor of 14, Uru manages to keep calm even when things get rough. However, his rated game results are about 12.6% worse than casual games — maybe he just plays chess for fun, or he secretly loses on purpose to keep everyone entertained.

Strengths & Quirks

  • Early resignations are rare (0.43%)—this player fights hard until the end or maybe is just stubborn enough not to quit.
  • White pieces enjoy a slight edge with a 53.7% win rate, whereas Black still boasts a respectable 51.7% win success.
  • Master of mysterious openings labeled "Top Secret" — we suspect these are just wildly creative attacks or psychological ploys.

Online Legend

With over 110,000 Bullet games played and a total of 62,000+ wins, Uru is obviously no stranger to the battlefield. Engagement peaks in the late afternoon and early evening hours, when his moves become as lightning-fast as his username suggests.

Notable Opponents & Records

Whether facing "josquin7" or "pt_shahmat", Uru shows fierce rivalry and respect, even if the odds sometimes don't favor him. Some opponents have clearly learned to fear his clever tricks – others, not so much!

Fun Fact

Did you know? His longest winning streak lasted an impressive 27 games! Lost count of how many shocked opponents had to reset their browsers.
