Profile Summary: ITMana

Meet ITMana, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster would give even the boldest amusement park rides a run for their money. Peaking at a respectable 327 in May 2025, ITMana's journey is one marked by fiery battles and a tenacity that refuses to quit—except when a pesky early resignation seems like the sensible option (about 8% of the time, but who's counting?).

Known for a fondness of the Alekhine's Defense—with an impressive 63% win rate—ITMana shows a keen taste for provoking opponents into uncomfortable territory. The Reti Opening offers a mixed bag, winning just enough to keep challengers on their toes, while several other openings like the Van Geet and King's Pawn variations clearly keep ITMana’s arsenal diversified and unpredictable.

With 130 wins, 139 losses, and 32 draws in rapid play, ITMana occasionally finds themselves on the brinks of glory... or defeat, but hey, every great legend needs a villain, right? Their longest winning streak hits a solid five games, but beware — the dark side of chess has seen ITMana endure an eight-game losing streak too. Persistence is the name of this game.

Psychology-wise, ITMana tilts at a modest factor of 8 (chess players with a tilt factor of 10 or above might want to watch out). Their best time of day to wow the chessboard is just after midnight — so expect some sneaky checkmates when others are counting sheep.

Speaking of sneaky moves, ITMana's most recent documented victory was a cunning escape and win via resignation using the Alekhine's Defense. The pitch-perfect combination of unpredictability and tactical awareness shines through in their games.

ITMana's style is patient, with an average of 50 moves per win, indicating endurance and careful planning. The average loss is even longer, a testament to fighting spirit – no quick quits here!

Off the board, ITMana might be the friend who confidently says, "I've got this!" in casual games, but on the clock, every move counts—and every opponent from crazymonkey97 to diegochess54 learns quickly that ITMana is a worthy foe.

Whether ITMana is orchestrating a comeback (winning 65% of time after being down) or gracefully accepting bow-outs, one thing is certain: their chess journey is one filled with passion, strategy, and the kind of battles that make epic tales.

So gear up, because when ITMana sits at the board, the game is never dull — it's a mix of fierce knightly duels, unexpected sacrifices, and checkmate theatrics.
