Playing style

Tejas_Rama is a pragmatic attacker who loves long games and the endgame grind — a style built for Daily chess but lethal in fast formats when tactics appear. Highlights of the style:

  • Endgame frequency is high: the player converts long middlegames into technical finishes often (Endgame frequency ~77%).
  • Marathon mentality: average moves per win ~78, average first capture around move 7 — patience with a punch.
  • Resilience: a remarkable comeback rate shows Tejas_Rama often recovers from material setbacks and keeps fighting.
  • Early resignations are rare — the games usually run the distance.

Notable openings & repertoire

Tejas_Rama has cultivated a varied and sometimes eccentric opening wardrobe. A few crowd-pleasers (and rabbit holes):

  • Amar Gambit — a consistent favorite across formats; high win rates and theatrical sacrifices. Amar Gambit
  • London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation — a sneaky, aggressive take on a “solid” system. London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation
  • Australian Defense and English Agincourt lines — favorite territory for strategical complexity.
  • Sicilian family in Rapid — a mix of Najdorf and Closed ideas when speed meets accuracy.
  • For Daily games, the Amar Gambit and some offbeat gambits often return stellar results.

Opponents & rivalries

Tejas_Rama has built notable head-to-head histories online — both friendly rivalries and heated rematches:

  • Current winning streak: 4 — the momentum is real (and slightly smug).
  • Best time of day to play: mornings around 07:00 (the mind is calm, the pawns are fresh).
  • Comeback specialist — a high comeback rate; losing material is rarely fatal for morale.
