Gautam Tiwari: The Chess Dynamo With A Twist
Gautam Tiwari, known in chess circles as a determined tactician and a master of the Vienna Game Falkbeer Variation, is a player whose journey on the 64 squares is anything but boring. With a 2025 rapid rating peaking at a quirky 666 (because why not?), Gautam has battled through over 1,200 rapid games with almost equal wins and losses—proving that in chess, as in life, near-miss-dramas are part of the fun.
Never one to quit early (his early resignation rate is a modest 1.84%), Gautam often drags games into deep endgames, showing stamina and a flair for the drawn-out duel with 67.64% endgame frequency. It’s all about plays lasting an average of 60 moves before he clinches a win, or a suspenseful 71 moves when things don’t quite go his way.
The man has an impressive comeback rate of 70.62% – when the chips are down, Gautam turns into a chess phoenix, rising from the ashes with a perfect 100% win rate whenever he’s lost a piece. Opponents beware! But heed this: his tilt factor is 9, so if you manage to unnerve him, expect some fiery moments.
Gautam’s favored openings? He’s a fan of the King’s Pawn and the Vienna Game variations—especially his secret weapon, the Falkbeer Variation, where he boasts a more-than-respectable win rate above 53%. Interestingly, he is most effective with white pieces, scoring just under 50%, while black pieces see a slightly lower success rate of 45%.
Outside the game, Gautam’s chess humor shines through his opponent records — he has an uncanny 100% win rate against some rivals (stewie6446, braz3n, and more), while others might be thinking, “Not again!” due to their 0% against him. The perfect mix of fan favorite and formidable adversary.
His peak daily rating hit a crisp 970 in 2025, showing flashes of blitz brilliance with a tactical but modest 308 blitz rating. Gautam’s preferred playing times range widely, but he seems downright dangerous at 1 AM (61.54% win rate) — night owls, beware!
In summary, Gautam Tiwari is a player who embodies resilience, a love for gritty chess battles, and a little bit of fiery unpredictability. Whether you face him online or across the board, expect a fierce game sprinkled with enough drama to keep things interesting!
