Biography of Akash Mudawadkar (aka Akki2096)

Akash Mudawadkar, affectionately known in chess circles as Akki2096, is a player of eclectic style and a journey full of ups, downs, and occasional sideways moves—kind of like a knight doing the cha-cha on the board!

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting from a respectable Rapid rating of 995 in 2022 and dipping to a humble 186 before clawing back up multiple times, Akki's perseverance is as legendary as his flair for quirky openings. By 2025, he stabilized around the 500-550 rating mark in Rapid, steadily improving his game – or at least his ability to scramble back from tricky situations (hello 100% win rate after losing a piece!).

While Blitz and Bullet ratings suggest Akki prefers the thoughtful pace of Rapid and Daily games, he hasn’t shied away from fast-paced battles, often giving opponents a run for their money despite the sometimes harsh win-loss record—because hey, practice makes perfect, or at least entertaining!

Opening Repertoire

Akki has a love-hate relationship with the Van t Kruijs Opening, boasting over 345 Rapid games with a win rate hovering just above 51%. He also likes to dabble in the King's Pawn and French Defense openings, where he manages to keep his win rate comfortably above 50%. In Blitz and Bullet games, Akash experiments with more adventurous lines like the Alekhine’s Defense and Polish Opening, proving he’s not afraid to mix business with a little chess mischief.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for throwing in the towel with an early resignation rate of 7.99%, Akash clearly knows when to admit defeat gracefully—possibly to save energy for more thrilling battles in the future. He enjoys extended endgames (playing around 29 moves per win) and is a master of making slow, strategic comebacks; with a comeback rate of 24.61%, he's not just playing chess, he's playing mind games.

And if you ever catch Akki in a losing position, beware! His 100% win rate after losing a piece might just mean he’s plotting something cruelly clever behind that calm exterior.

Quirks and Quips

Akash's tilt factor hovers around 12%, proving even the calmest players have their 'Oh-no-not-again' moments. Interestingly, his best winning hours are surprisingly scattered—from the early hours at 3 AM with a 51.69% win rate, to the infamous 23rd hour with a solid 100% win record. Night owl or chess wizard? The jury’s out, but it certainly adds to his mystique.

Despite a slight -2.84% difference when playing rated versus casual games, Akash plays with passion, always aiming to claw back from setbacks with a grin (or at least a side-eye at the clock).

Opponent Chronicles

Having tangled with numerous foes like kubarez7815 (tough customers) and friends alike, Akki's win rates vary dramatically. Some opponents never stand a chance, while others seem to have his number. But his willingness to jump into the fray, regardless of previous defeats or hiccups, reveals a resilient spirit and a desire to keep pushing his limits.

In Summary

Akash Mudawadkar embodies the spirit of a chess enthusiast who embraces both the art and the chaos of the game. Whether he's delicately maneuvering through endgames or bravely charging into openings less traveled, Akki2096 plays with heart, humor, and a dash of unpredictability. So if you face him, be prepared for unexpected twists—and maybe the occasional cheeky knight dance!
