Profile Summary: itsvk27
Meet itsvk27, a spirited rapid chess player who has been making waves in the 2025 chess circuit with a rollercoaster ride of ratings and plenty of tactical flair. Starting the year with a modest rapid rating near 550, itsvk27 quickly escalated to a peak of 841 by late May — clearly proving that perseverance and a killer opening can bring serious results. When it comes to bullet chess, well... let's just say rapid is the true love here; bullet ratings barely flirt with the 400 mark.
Playing Style & Strengths
Steadfast and tactical, itsvk27 favors a fast-paced game with a penchant for sharp openings like the King's Pawn Opening, boasting a remarkable 85% win rate in that line. Beware the Leonardis Variation of the King's Pawn, though — not their best friend, with only about a 14% success rate!
Known for a comeback rate near 74%, this player refuses to throw in the towel early, turning losing positions into victories often enough to make opponents nervous. The notorious early resignation rate of just about 2% shows character – if the game’s not over, neither is itsvk27.

Notable Trivia
Although itsvk27’s bullet adventures have been rough, their rapid games tell a tale of resilience, tactical sharpness, and an occasional flair for dramatic finishes — their recent wins include a neat checkmate and a tactically sadistic resignation from the opponent. With a tilt factor of 6 (not too raging, not too calm), this player keeps their cool well enough, except maybe after a quick coffee break loss.
Opponent Soap Opera
Battle-hardened on the virtual battlefield, itsvk27 has a love-hate relationship with opponents like raf_legoat and ansean007 (100% win rate) while struggling a bit against pravinnarayansarje and rohitrana007 (0% win rate). But hey, every underdog story needs some plot twists!
In a Nutshell
itsvk27 is a rapid chess warrior juggling impressive streaks, tactical comebacks, and a flair for the classic King's Pawn Opening. If you fancy a game with someone who fights till the last move, knows when to resign gracefully, and who might just surprise you with a sneaky mating net, this is your challenger.
