Bitan Banerjee - International Master
Meet Bitan Banerjee, an International Master who dances across the 64 squares with a blend of tenacity and tactical wizardry that would make even the most stoic grandmasters blink twice. Bitan’s rating journey is a story of relentless climb: from a humble 400 in daily chess matches during 2021 to soaring beyond 2500 in blitz and bullet, proving that speed and strategy are their trusty companions.
Known for an impressive longest winning streak of 13 games, Bitan's style is less about quick resignations (early resignation rate: just 1.85%) and more about grinding out victories with an endgame frequency over 76%. And if the game ever slips through their fingers, fear not – Bitan's comeback rate stands at a staggering 88.36%, turning nearly every lost piece situation into a triumphant story.
With a reputation for playing lengthy, strategic games (average win length: ~68 moves), Bitan prefers to outlast opponents rather than burn them out in a frenzy. Their win rates also hint at a slight preference for the white pieces, where they win roughly 58% of their games, compared to just shy of 50% with black.
While Bitan’s psychological resilience is notable, boasting a win rate after losing a piece of 100% (yes, really), the tilt factor of 9 reminds us: even chess warriors occasionally throw a fit when the coffee kicks in.
Friendly warning: playing Bitan Banerjee is not for the faint-hearted. Their time-of-day statistics reveal peak ferocity during evening blitz sessions, with win rates surpassing 70% at 19:00 and 20:00 hours. If you’re challenged on a Sunday or a Monday afternoon, expect a tactical showdown – Bitan wins over half of such encounters with poise and flair.
Across all formats, an astonishing over 600 wins in blitz alone reflects their dominance, while the witty username "Granddesign" would probably fit this master of chess artistry – crafting masterpieces move by move, one secret opening line at a time.
In a nutshell: Bitan Banerjee embodies the spirit of chess – strategic, resilient, and just a touch mischievous. Dare to sit across their chessboard, and prepare for a game that’s equal parts marathon and sprint… with a sprinkle of brilliance.
