Profile: Aadhil Suresh (itz_me_aadhi)
Aadhil Suresh, known in the chess world as itz_me_aadhi, is a dedicated player with a blitz of courage, a bullet of wit, and a rapid-fire style of play that's sometimes more rapid than precise. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 1402 and a bullet apex of 1433, Aadhil’s chess journey is sprinkled with both triumphs and tough lessons—mainly thanks to that infamous longest losing streak of 13 games that tests even his best nerves.
Chess Journey & Style
Starting notably in 2021 with a daily rating at 1600 (a brief peak to keep hopes high), Aadhil’s game has since danced around the mid-800s to low 1000s in blitz and rapid formats. Don’t let the numbers fool you—48% win rate with white and a respectable near 45% with black pieces show tenacity and balance in his gameplay. With a flair for lengthy endgames (average 57 moves on wins!), he’s the kind of player who sticks it out like a hearty underdog in a marathon, often turning tense positions around thanks to a remarkable 85.26% comeback rate.
Personality Behind the Pieces
Known for a healthy dose of early resignations (just under 6% - because we all have our off days!), Aadhil’s games reveal a player unafraid to bow out gracefully when the inevitability of defeat looms. His tilt factor at 13 means he might get a little sulky now and then, but his best hours to strike are the wee hours around 2 AM when the rest of the world is asleep and the chessboard lights up with his brilliance.
