The current rating hovers an impressive 733, with a play style that loves the long game—averaging nearly 58 moves for victories and even stretching losses beyond 73 moves. That’s endurance, folks!

Opening Repertoire

A true chess gourmand, Abhishek dabbles in a delightful variety of openings, but with a noticeable fondness for the King’s Pawn openings, winning over half his battles with it. Not shy of a challenge, he also explores more exotic avenues like the Scandinavian Defense and Van ’t Kruijs Opening, demonstrating versatility and a knack for keeping opponents guessing.

Playing nearly 2,000 Rapid games (and counting!) with a win rate just shy of 51%, Abhishek’s experience is vast. His longest winning streak? A legendary 10 games, swiftly followed by a humbling 12-game losing streak—because every chess warrior knows, humility is earned on the battlefield. His current run sits at a quiet 0, so watch this space!
