Vishva Nanugonda (Username: 3Ke31-0)

National Master of Chess

Meet Vishva Nanugonda, a chess virtuoso with the prestigious title of National Master. Balancing fierce calculation with a dash of humor, Vishva has proven over thousands of games that the 64 squares are indeed a canvas for both strategic art and battle-tested grit.

Rating Milestones & Playing Style

From humble beginnings with a bullet rating around 1030 in early 2019, Vishva’s skill skyrocketed to a blistering peak rating of 2717 in bullet chess by April 2025. Their blitz rating also impresses at a peak of 2614, while rapid and daily games boast peak ratings of 2326 and 1831 respectively.

Known for resilience and tactical brilliance, Vishva’s comeback rate after losing a piece is an impressive 74%, meaning giving up material is rarely a game-ender for this warrior. With an average game lasting over 66 moves for both wins and losses, patience is clearly their middle name.

Against the board, Vishva tilts occasionally (Tilt Factor of 18), but usually makes a strong recovery by the golden hour of 17:00 when the game truly lights up. Early resignations happen, but they’re not the norm — sometimes the suspense just can’t be resisted.

Opening Repertoire: Keeping Opponents Guessing

Ever the chess enigma, Vishva’s top secret opening has been deployed over 8600 times in bullet play, with a win rate of 57.6%. Other favorites include the Queen's Pawn Opening (Zukertort Variation), London System, and the Colle System. Not all attempts have run smoothly — the Reti Opening Sicilian Invitation stumbled at 0% win rate, but we all love an underdog story!

Against a slew of online warriors, Vishva has a dazzling collection of 5024 wins in bullet, 2662 in blitz, and over 1400 victories across rapid and daily games too — all proving that the keyboard is mightier than the sword.

Although occasionally outmaneuvered as in the loss to “Herzog2012” that same day by a rushing checkmate, Vishva always comes back ready to rumble.
