Meet Isagi_Thebest, a chess enthusiast whose journey through the ranks is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride with a happy ending (mostly!). Starting off at a modest rapid rating of 489 in 2023, Isagi quickly leveled up, smashing a personal best of 913 in rapid chess by 2025. Not one to shy away from blitz, Isagi dazzled with a perfect 959 blitz rating in 2024 — talk about lightning on the board!
With a whopping 3,844 rapid games under the belt, Isagi has a rapid win count around 1,842, often sneaking victory through a well-guarded "Top Secret" opening strategy that keeps opponents guessing (and sometimes groaning). A lover of variety, they’ve dabbled in everything from the classic King's Pawn Opening (and crushed it with an 80% win rate) to the thrilling Englund Gambit, boasting a flawless 100% success rate. The secret? Maybe it’s the name, or maybe Isagi just likes to keep it mysterious.
Isagi's playing style shows a clear preference for sticking it out until the endgame, with over 59% of games reaching that critical phase. This patience pays off — a comeback rate above 60% and a perfect win record after losing a piece show resilience fit for a chess ninja. Losses are rare and usually one-sided, with a humble 5.58% rate, perhaps due to some early missteps or “oops” moments.
Psychologically, Isagi maintains a strong mindset, boasting a low tilt factor of 10, meaning they don’t toss the board after a blunder — at least not often. Their performance shines in rated games versus casual matches, with nearly 48% more wins when the stakes are high, proving that Isagi thrives under pressure.
Not one to give up early, Isagi resigns only about 3.45% of the time — after all, who wants to concede when the comeback stats are that juicy? There’s a quirky charm in their average game lengths: wins typically run about 54 moves long, whereas losses drag on to nearly 68 moves, showing a dogged determination to squeeze every last tactic out of each duel.
When it comes to timing, Isagi knows when to strike, posting a respectable 50.29% win rate on Fridays and peaking in late night hours like 23:00 with an impressive 55.26% success rate. Clearly, Isagi does their best puzzle-solving when the world is (mostly) asleep.
So, if you ever come across the handle Isagi_Thebest online, beware: behind that friendly username lies a practically unstoppable combination of resilience, tactical brilliance, and a penchant for keeping the opening repertoire a closely guarded secret. Challenge wise? Just don’t expect to get an easy game — Isagi’s current winning streak of 4 games could turn into many more!
