Journey on the 64 Squares

Since early 2023, itsbasir has dived headfirst into rapid, bullet, blitz, and daily formats, embracing each game's unique pace. Rapid games tell the tale of a player undeterred by setbacks: out of 327 rapid battles, itsbasir scored 125 wins, 189 losses, and 13 draws, with a commendable propensity to fight back—boasting a 51.4% comeback rate after falling behind. Let's just say, quitting early isn’t in their DNA, although early resignations happen about a third of the time (hey, who likes slow defeat?).

Opening Styles & Tactical Flair

Opening aficionados will find a mix of classical and adventurous choices in itsbasir’s repertoire. The Italian Game and Bishop's Opening Boi Variation shine brightest with a robust 75% win rate in rapid—clearly a favorite battlefield for tactical skirmishes. Meanwhile, the King’s Pawn Opening and its King’s Knight Variation see plenty of play, albeit with room for improvement to turn losses into triumphs.

Bullet games reveal a more daring side, where the Giuoco Piano Game Main Line stands undefeated (100% win rate) in three games, proving itsbasir's fast thinking can pack a powerful punch. On the flipside, some defenses like the Scandinavian and Englund Gambit in bullet have been a challenge — but hey, every chess warrior has their war stories.

itsbasir’s psychological resilience is tested by a tilt factor of 13, meaning sometimes the emotional storm hits, but the player keeps pushing through. Their best time to play? The magical 9 PM hour, when inspiration and focus apparently peak.
