Profile: Ankit Khatri (A020220)

Meet Ankit Khatri, a rapid chess aficionado whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as his Opening repertoire. Known online as A020220, Ankit dances between the hopeful beginnings of the King's Pawn Opening and the tricky twists of Alekhine's Defense, proving he’s willing to take risks—even if sometimes it’s just a roll of the dice.

Rating & Performance

Ankit's peak rapid rating soared to 332 in May 2025—a respectable milestone for someone who averages a slightly wild but entertaining 255 rating across 176 games. Blitz chess appears to be a less traveled path, with a modest 100 rating after a solitary game, but hey, everyone has their niche.

Playing Style

Ankit is not one to shy away from early resignations, clocking in an eyebrow-raising 32% early quit rate—maybe his motto is “Know when to fold ’em!” However, when games progress, his endgame frequency hits a solid 35%, showing that he enjoys the battle deep into the final phase. With an average of 46 moves per win, patience might be a virtue after all, even if losses come quicker at 35 moves.

Openings Highlight

• King's Pawn Opening: Ankit’s comfort zone, boasting a nifty 56.45% win rate over 62 games.
• King's Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation: His secret sauce, with a spectacular 71.43% win rate.
• Alekhine's Defense: A gamble that hasn’t always paid off, with a 33.33% win rate—clearly a battlefield where surprises abound!

Chess Persona & Quirks

Ankit's psychological tilt factor remains low at 5, so don’t expect him to ragequit—unless it’s a tactical early resignation, of course. He finds his zenith at dawn’s early hour, especially around 7 AM, when his win rate spikes to a delightful 75% in certain hours, proving he’s an early bird who very much catches the chessworm.

Recent Adventures

Victory is sweet and swift: Ankit recently delivered a checkmate in a thrilling Alekhine's Defense on May 27, 2025, where his clever queen and bishop collaboration sealed the deal. Unfortunately, not all battles end in glory; his recent losses include some dramatic shows of knight sacrifices and bold queen plays, reminding us all that even great players have their off days.

Rivals & Records

Ankit has tangled with many over the board, undefeated against opponents like teri128 and nth250828, yet surprisingly winless against some regularly faced rival adversaries. The diversity in results highlights his unpredictable chess rollercoaster ride.
