Profile: Adwaith Das (adwaithdas007)
Meet Adwaith Das, a chess adventurer who has proven that patience, perseverance, and a bit of cheeky brilliance can lead to impressive victories and, occasionally, comedic blunders. While some players have a smooth upward rating graph, Adwaith's journey looks like a thrilling roller coaster—full of daring escapes, tactical twists, and a knack for bouncing back when the chips are down!
Rating Highlights
- Top Rapid Rating: A dizzying peak of 750 in May 2025, proving that rapid fire moves are definitely his strong suit.
- Best Blitz Run: Scored an impressive 430 rating in June 2025, no slowpokes here!
- Bullet Blitz Warrior: Peaks at 408 in October 2024, slicing through the clock with swift, tactical blows.
- Casual Daily Games: Enjoys some relaxed but fierce battles, maxing out at 604 rating.
Playing Style & Psychological Traits
Adwaith is no quitter! With a minimal early resignation rate (~4%) and a staggering 70.5% comeback rate, this player fights tooth and nail even when the odds are stacked against him. His average game length hovers around 60 moves, showing a deep appreciation for long, strategic tussles rather than quick knockout punches.
Choose to play him in the late evening hours if you want the toughest challenge; his best time to strike is around 11 PM when his focus and win rate skyrocket. But beware: like any true human, a tilt factor of 8 suggests that losing can ruffle his feathers — but he’s quick to shrug off those blues.
Opening Repertoire - The Grand Buffet
From the mysterious and rarely explored Van Geet Opening which brings him great success in blitz, to cheeky gambits like the Englund Gambit for a surprise punch in bullet games, Adwaith embraces an eclectic palette. With standout performances in variations like the Van Geet Reversed Nimzowitsch and the Queens Pawn Chigorin, opponents better be ready for a wide array of opening surprises!
Competition Record & Rivalries
With an overall blitz record of 48 wins, 37 losses, and 7 draws, and a rapid win count that edges near 463, Adwaith demonstrates that beating him is never a walk in the park. He has a 100% win rate against some recent opponents like dimich_one and mrpeanut00, though a couple of tougher rivals like akki88871 and tyloni_macarroni have handed him some bitter defeats.
Recent Memorable Battles
Let's spotlight some of Adwaith's recent epic successes:
- On June 6, 2025, he clinched a thrilling blitz win against dimich_one, using his favorite Van Geet Opening. The game ended with a graceful resignation at move 17, showcasing his tactical prowess. dimich_one
- Earlier that same day, he secured a checkmate in a rapid game against calbrackin, proving that when he decides to press, game over is imminent! calbrackin

Fun Facts & Quirks
Despite a stellar comeback rate, Adwaith sometimes throws in a surprise for his fans — like a longest losing streak of 8 games to keep everyone humble and entertained. Hey, chess is as much about learning from losses as it is savoring victories! Also, his White pieces tend to score slightly better (~50%), but don’t count on a safe ride when he’s playing Black; he’s a stealthy fighter there too.
Final Thought
Whether it’s a rapid blitz frenzy or a slow daily challenge, Adwaith Das is a passionate chess warrior whose games are a cocktail of razor-sharp tactics, strategic depth, and a little bit of delightful unpredictability. He’s proof that success is a journey filled with ups, downs, and a whole lot of pawn pushing.
Hi Adwaith!
Great job keeping an active playing schedule and already collecting some nice attacking wins. Below is a quick snapshot of your recent activity:
When you tend to win…
…and when things are trickier:
What you are already doing well
- Initiative-first mindset. Your games show early Nc3, Ne5 and aggressive pawn storms (e4, g4, h4) that often catch opponents off guard.
- Tactical awareness. You spot forks (Nxc7+, Nd5), pins and mating nets such as 12.Qd8# vs StrongRoadDJ. Keep sharpening this strength with daily puzzle practice.
- Playing fast. You almost never lose on time in winning games and often pressure opponents into blundering.
Great moments to repeat
Key areas to improve
- King safety. Several losses start with an uncastled king or premature queen trade leaving your king in the centre (…Qxd1+ vs Tyloni_macarroni). Make castling one of your first goals in every game.
- Over-extension of pawns. Pushing f- and g-pawns early (…f6, …g5) weakens the squares around your king. Try developing pieces instead; save pawn storms for later.
- Piece coordination after winning material. In the loss vs akki88871 you were up a pawn but allowed a decisive attack on g7. After gaining material, slow down, centralise pieces and trade into simpler positions.
- End-game basics. A few games slipped away in rook-and-pawn endings. Spend 15 minutes a day on basic king-and-pawn and rook end-games; they decide many 300-600 elo games.
- Opening discipline. Your creative openings are fun, but learning one classical line as White (e.g. the Italian) and one as Black (e.g. the Scandinavian) will improve your piece activity and minimise early blunders.
- Thinking routine. Before every move ask: 1) What is my opponent’s threat? 2) Which of my pieces are hanging? 3) Can I create a check, capture or fork?
A loss worth studying
Training plan for the next two weeks
- 15+10 games: Play at least 10 rapid games where you have time to think.
- Puzzles: 20 a day focusing on forks, pins and back-rank mates.
- End-games: Complete the “Rook vs Pawns” module on your favourite trainer.
- Opening notebook: Write down the first 8 moves of an Italian Game as White and practice it five times.
Keep an eye on your progress
Your current best rapid rating is 750 (2025-05-18). Let’s aim to push that up by 50 points over the next month by following the plan above.
Good luck, have fun and feel free to share any questions after your next batch of games!
