Akash Thomas Robert aka ItsMrSkyChess

Meet Akash Thomas Robert, better known in the chess-streaming universe as ItsMrSkyChess — a formidable streamer whose presence lights up both the board and the chat. Born to make pawns tremble and bishops bow, Akash combines serious chess play with an entertaining flair, proving once and for all that you can have fun while conquering your opponents.

Playing Profile & Style

With a peak Rapid rating soaring to an impressive 2134 (achieved in May 2025), Akash exhibits a deep understanding of the game, blending tactical sharpness with an ambitious, aggressive style. His games often average around 55 moves per win, meaning he loves a good, long duel — not just quick checkmates (though he’s got a few of those, too).

Known for a surprisingly low rate of early resignations (3.33% — because giving up is not in his vocabulary), Akash thrives in endgame scenarios, with an endgame frequency of nearly 55%. His comeback rate is an astonishing 73.76% — don’t count him out if he loses a piece, because this streamer has an uncanny ability to claw back victories when the chips are down.

Favorite Openings (and secret weapons)

• Bullet: Queens Pawn Openings with a win rate of 75.61% and Scandinavian Defense gambits making opponents sweat.
• Blitz: The Van't Kruijs Opening where he wins a jaw-dropping 95% of the time — nearly flawless! Beware stepping into this territory.
• Rapid: His trusty Scandinavian Defense variants and Queens Gambit Accepted Old Variation where he sports win rates close to 90-100%. He’s a master of modern defense tactics with a healthy dose of aggression.

Competitive Stats Highlights

Akash's overall win-loss records tell a story of sheer determination:

• Bullet: 1044 wins against 743 losses (yes, he plays thousands of rounds — keeping fingers quick and coffee close!).
• Blitz: A positive score with 274 wins to 133 losses.
• Rapid: Strong winning tendency with 284 victories and just 114 setbacks.
• Daily chess: 10 wins, 1 loss, showing even in slower formats Akash keeps his cool.

Psychology & Playing Habits

His self-proclaimed “Tilt Factor” of 11 means he can get a little salty now and then — but nothing a good stream chat can’t fix. Interestingly, 3 AM (yes, early morning hours) is his magical time to strike, boasting some of his best win percentages.

Stream Highlights

Akash’s recent victories read like a tactical thriller: precision strikes using the Queens Pawn Opening to force resignations, dazzling mates with the Scandinavian Defense, and converting positions from near defeat with his comeback prowess.
That one game where he forced mate against hodophylic? Pure poetry in motion.
And although losses happen (because even chess gods face checkmate), Akash adapts and grows stronger with each move.
