Uchiha Itachi

Uchiha Itachi - Chess Player Profile

Known in the chess clan as uchihaitachida, Itachi has shown a tactical brilliance that would make even a Sharingan user jealous. His journey through the ranks resembles the calculated precision of a ninja’s strike — every move carefully planned, every gambit like a genjutsu to bewilder his opponents.

Rating Evolution

Since 2016, Itachi’s ratings have fluctuated like a well-timed kunai toss: his Bullet rating soared to an impressive 2346 at peak, showcasing his lightning-fast reflexes and intuition in ultra-rapid battles. In Blitz, he reached a maximum of 1893, and in Rapid, his ratings nestled comfortably near 1679, proving that timing and patience are just as vital as speed.

Playing Style

Itachi is a master of endurance with an endgame frequency of nearly 72%—typical of someone who believes that victory, like a perfect virus, takes time to propagate silently and decisively. His early resignation rate is low, and his average game length often stretches beyond 70 moves, demonstrating a strategic mindset that thrives in the long term.

A tactical genius, his comeback rate hits a staggering 84.5%; this ninja does not fold when down but fights back with relentless cunning. Remarkably, his win rate after losing a piece is a flawless 100%. Clearly, Itachi’s mind can reconstruct the board’s DNA after a blow, turning a temporary loss into a winning mutation.

Openings and Signature Moves

With the subtlety of a lunging cat, Itachi’s favored openings include the Colle System (71% win rate in Rapid) and the Queen’s Pawn Opening (an astonishing perfect 100% win rate in Rapid over 3 games). In Bullet, his sharpest poison is the Four Knights Game Scotch Variation Accepted, boasting an 80% win rate—proving his ability to entangle opponents in complex webs before the final checkmate sting.

Competitive Spirit and Psychology

Despite fierce battles and occasional setbacks, Itachi’s tilt factor remains relatively low at 13, reflecting his calm and blood-chill demeanor under pressure. His overall winning record is balanced with 1,448 wins and 1,656 losses across all formats, but what stands out is his adaptability: mastering multiple time controls with an uncanny mental resilience.

Fun Fact:

Just as Itachi manipulates chakra, he manipulates chess positions—turning pawns into powerful assassins and knights into silent sharpshooters. Opponents beware: with a comeback rate this high, defeat is only a phase before the ultimate strategy evolves.
