Advait Patel - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Advait Patel, or as the chessboard whispers, adypady02 — a wizard of sixty-four squares and the proud bearer of the International Master title from FIDE. Not just any player, Advait is a strategic tactician who’s known to make the chess pieces dance to his whims, often leaving opponents wondering if their queens just walked off the board of their own accord.
Rising Through the Ranks (and Pawns)
Starting out with a modest daily rating of just over 1200 in late 2013, Advait surged past a 2100+ rating within less than a year—a feat that could make even some grandmasters take a double look. His peak daily rating hit 2168 in 2014, but don’t be fooled by just one format! In the frenetic world of bullet chess, Advait’s keen intuition blasted him up to a staggering peak of 2962 in June 2024. That’s basically rocket fuel on a clock!
Playing Style & Personality
Known for a high come back rate of nearly 65%, Advait hardly ever surrenders without a fiery fight. His psychological resilience—despite a tilt factor around 23—means he bounces back smarter and sharper. Moves per win usually hover around 62, so patience mixed with precision is his secret sauce.
He loves a good endgame (60%+ frequency), proving he's not just about flashy openings but also the grind and dance when the board's nearly bare. Be ready - whether it’s Top Secret openings or surprising gambits like the Englund, Advait keeps it spicy.
Victory and Defeat - The Thrill of the Game
With over 6,000 wins in bullet chess and a win-rate north of 58% in blistering fast games, Advait has turned time pressure into an art form. Yet even the best suffer setbacks—longest losing streak capped at 23 games, but that merely sets the stage for epic comebacks!

Fun Fact
When not calculating variations faster than a supercomputer, Advait likely enjoys debating if the chessboard is better with 64 or 65 squares… just kidding, but only just!
