Danilo Rosa

Danilo Rosa (aka Jitsull)

Meet Danilo Rosa, a warrior on the chessboards of the internet who has been tirelessly chasing victory and occasionally checkmating foes with poetic finesse. Rated just shy of 1000 in rapid chess at his peak, Danilo’s journey is less about crushing grandmasters and more about the rich tapestry of battles waged — wins, losses, and draws paint the picture of an enthusiast with heart and humor.

Playing Style and Strengths

Danilo prefers to take his time, averaging about 49 moves per win and 42 moves per loss, clearly refusing to resign before a proper showdown — although his early resignation rate hovers around 10%, perhaps admitting defeat gracefully isn't always easy. Danilo's best victories often come when wielding the white pieces, boasting a white win rate just above 50%, while his black pieces conversations are slightly humbler but still fiercely competitive.

Tactical awareness is his middle name (well, not literally). With a comeback rate of 66%, he has the resilience to bounce back like a chess rubber ball after losing a piece — about 44% of the time he finds a way to twist the game back in his favor. Don’t expect one-sided losses either; Danilo’s holds a respectable 19% rate here, suggesting he fights until the very end.

Favorite Openings

Danilo has a taste for classical chess flavors. The Italian Game is his signature dish, garnished with subtle variations like the Knight Attack and Giuoco Piano. His Scandinavian Defense score is surprisingly robust, winning more than half of his rapid games with it. Contrary to popular belief, he is not afraid to venture into the Philidor Defense or the Queen’s Pawn Openings, where he holds steady with balanced results.

Recent Battles & Highlights

One of his freshest victories was a rapid-fire Italian Game practically sealed by move 8, ending in a resignation from his bewildered opponent. Danilo's victories aren't just well-played; they're timely as well, with peak performances often around 9 AM when his mind is freshest (and coffee-fueled). However, the midnight oil doesn't always burn for him, considering a dip in win rate during late evening hours.

Despite some tough losses — including a few resignation endings and game abandons — his fighting spirit and ability to learn from every pawn lost keep him steadily climbing the ranks and impressing opponents (and friends) alike.

Fun Facts

Danilo’s preferred move count suggests a lengthy, thoughtful fight rather than quick slaughter. His 10% early resignation rate hints he knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em, avoiding unnecessary heartbreaks. But his comeback rate tells you he'll nearly always buy that extra coffee and give it another shot.

He plays like life itself — sometime chaotic, often strategic, and always with a little flair.
