A Journey Through Ratings

Starting in 2022 with a humble rapid rating of 666, Abhishek has steadily climbed the chess ladder, hitting a peak rapid rating of 838 by 2025. While his bullet and blitz ratings have offered plenty of thrills and spills—peaking at 325 in bullet and 542 in blitz—the real magic lies in his rapid and daily games, where persistence and strategy shine through.

The Openings Gambit

Abhishek has a special fondness for the Van t Kruijs Opening, boasting a win rate near 55% over more than a hundred rapid games. He’s not afraid to flirt with spicy variations either: the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation has treated him well with an impressive 83% win rate! The king’s pawn openings and Queen’s pawn openings are also in his repertoire, proving his all-rounder nature. If openings were a buffet, Abhishek’s plate would be packed and diverse.

Playing Style & Psychology

With an early resignation rate of about 19%, Abhishek knows when to cut his losses but his comeback rate of over 51% proves he rarely gives up easily—like a chess phoenix rising from the ashes. His average game length suggests he enjoys the slow burn, with wins taking nearly 48 moves on average. White pieces give him a slight edge (53% win rate), but don’t underestimate him when he’s on black—he holds his own there, too.

Win-Loss Tales

Abhishek’s rapid record is a rollercoaster: 188 wins to 160 losses and a handful of draws—no snooze fest here. In bullet and blitz, fights are fiercely contested, showing he’s not just playing for glory but for the challenge. His longest winning streak sits at a respectable 12 games, and he's always ready to add more.

Timing and Tactics

Interestingly, Abhishek shines brightest on Monday evenings around 5-6 PM, achieving win rates north of 60%. That’s prime time for strategic triumphs and possibly a snack break. His tactical skills are sharp—he holds a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece in games, proving he’s not rattled by setbacks but turns them into opportunities.

Fun Fact

If chess were a sitcom, Abhishek plays the clever underdog who surprises everyone with tactical flair and a streak of stubborn resilience. Whether it’s pulling off a comeback or exploring less-traveled openings, his games promise excitement and unpredictability. Just don’t expect him to resign quietly—this player fights to the very end!
