Vijay Varthaan: The Rapid Roller

Meet Vijay Varthaan, aka adhith-122, a chess player whose rapid games are a rollercoaster of brilliance and blunders that keep opponents guessing — and occasionally, very victorious! With a peak rapid rating of 504 achieved in May 2025, Vijay has shown spectacular highs and sometimes spectacular lows, proving that chess is as much about perseverance as it is about strategy.

Career Highlights & Style

Vijay’s journey in rapid chess is marked by fluctuating fortunes: from battling rating lows around 231 to soaring as high as 504 within the span of just a few months in 2025. With 22 wins, 21 losses, and 3 draws, every game is a nail-biter. Notably, Vijay loves sharp and tricky openings like the Alekhine's Defense, Englund Gambit, and the King's Knight Variation) — openings where daring sacrifices and early initiative are the name of the game. Perhaps “embracing chaos” should be his tagline.

The Tactics & Psychology

Vijay’s tactical awareness is impressive: he has a 68.18% comeback rate and manages to win 40.5% of games even after losing a piece. This cheeky fighter’s resilience often frustrates opponents. However, he can occasionally tilt (rated only 3 out of 10 on the tilt scale), but luckily he bounces back with a current winning streak of 2 games and a longest winning streak of 4.

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Despite being a rapid specialist, Vijay’s games average around 43 moves to win, proving he can latch onto a win with patience, not just quick strikes.
• He sometimes resigns early (about 4.76% of games), confirming even the best know when to cut their losses and plot revenge later.

Recent Battle Reports

Vijay recently demonstrated his knockout punch with a scintillating win using Alekhine’s Defense against nids0, resigning them just after 9 moves. Another delight was a clean checkmate over salokill with the King's Knight Variation, showing he can not only survive chaotic positions but deliver the final blow.

Of course, not all battles end in glory. He’s had mysterious encounters where the board gods favored the other side, like the tough losses to heeeel0 and raunav12345098. But hey, every champion was once a contender who lost a few games, right?
