Profile: Aakansh Agarwal (AakansAgarwal)
Meet Aakansh Agarwal, a chess enthusiast whose rating evolution resembles a fascinating biological experiment—like watching a genome edit itself for the better! Since bursting onto the scene with a modest rapid rating of 588 in 2021, Aakansh has steadily increased his “chess DNA” to a peak rapid rating of 1415 in 2023, proving he's evolving with each game rather than just replicating the same old moves.
Known for his strategic “opening genetics,” Aakansh thrives when playing the Sicilian Defense (61% win rate) and the King’s Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation (~74% win rate)—his signature “genes” for a winning advantage. Like a true chess biologist, he experiments with varied openings, from the Italian Game to the Philidor Defense, each contributing to his diverse tactical genome.
With an impressive comeback rate of 66.57% and a flawless 100% win rate even after losing a piece, Aakansh demonstrates the resilience of a hardy bacterial strain: once knocked down, he bounces back stronger every time. His games tend to be long (averaging around 57 moves per win), showing he prefers a marathon of mental endurance over a sprinter’s quick gambit.
When it comes to playing style, Aakansh’s endgame frequency of nearly 56% indicates he’s no stranger to the survival-of-the-fittest phase of the match, thriving where others might fold under pressure. But beware, even the fittest occasionally experience a “tilt,” and his tilt factor hovers at a mild 11%, suggesting he keeps a mostly cool head—biological chill factors and all.
His psychological resilience and adaptability to opponents—defeating many with a 100% success rate and casually “infecting” his opponents’ strategies with unexpected moves—make every match an intriguing study in chess evolution. It's safe to say, the chess world is his ecosystem, and he's mastering it move by move.
Outside the data, Aakansh’s journey is like a fascinating evolutionary tale—a mind constantly adapting, a player never stagnant. With a current winning streak of 3 and a longest streak of 9, he’s on a roll that's anything but dormant. So watch out: with moves as precise as a cellular mitosis, Aakansh Agarwal is replicating success across the chessboard, one game at a time.
