Luigidelavita: The Rollercoaster Chess Maestro
Meet Luigidelavita, a chess enthusiast whose journey through the ranks resembles a thrilling rollercoaster ride — full of twists, ups, downs, and the occasional loop-de-loop. Known as a Blitz board warrior and a cunning Rapid tactician, Luigidelavita has played thousands of games across various formats, showcasing a blend of perseverance, tactical flair, and sometimes, a dash of early surrender.
Chess Journey & Rating Chronicles
From an initial Blitz rating bouncing between 143 and 415 in 2023, Luigidelavita steadily improved, peaking above 400 in 2025. Their Rapid rating, however, tells a tale of triumph—starting from under 200 and reaching a striking peak of 706 in 2025. If you thought Bullet would be their playground, think again! Luigidelavita’s Bullet adventures ended rather abruptly with a max rating of 271, followed by a sudden nosedive to 100 – perhaps a hint that lightning-fast chess isn't always their cup of tea.
Daily chess enthusiasts would be impressed, as our player hit a high of 793 in 2023, though that category looks like an on-and-off commitment later on.
Playing Style & Quirks
Adopted chess wisdom might claim “patience is a virtue,” but Luigidelavita sometimes heeds the early resignation muse—bowing out early in about 4.22% of games. Despite this, their endgame frequency is impressive at 42.45%, proving they’re not afraid to brave longer battles.
Winning happens after around 42 moves on average, but losses tend to linger out to 52 moves—maybe contemplating those “what-ifs.” White pieces enjoy a slightly better fate with a 47.78% win rate, almost neck and neck with Black’s 47.64%. Not too shabby for a player whose motto might be "play the position, but know when to peace out."

The tilt factor, a cheeky 10, suggests occasional emotional vents, but that hasn’t stopped them from racking up close to 1,800 wins in Blitz alone. Rated games vs casual reveal a staggering 47.71% win difference—clearly, when the stakes get high, so does their game.
Openings Arsenal: The Secret and The Quirky
