Debjit Karmakar - The Chess Maverick aka alpha_debjit
Born with a chessboard in hand (or so it seems), Debjit Karmakar is a player who embodies perseverance, quirks, and an undying love for the game. While not quite topping the grandmaster charts yet, Debjit plays with a unique flair that makes every match memorable—whether he wins, loses, or dramatically resigns early (yes, about 21% of the time!).
Playing Profile
- Rapid Rating: An impressive peak at 800 in 2025, with a solid 760 as his latest feat. Rapid is clearly where Debjit shines the brightest, boasting over 500 games and a win rate just above 51%.
- Blitz Battles: A rollercoaster ride between 268 and 717 rating points, his blitz games tell a story of fierce fights and relentless trying. With a near-even win-loss record (84 wins to 90 losses), each game probably comes with its own drama.
- Bullet: A fleeting touchdown with only 2 games played, bullet chess hasn't quite caught Debjit’s heart—yet!
Style & Strategy
Debjit’s average game length indicates a penchant for deep strategic battles, averaging about 50 moves on wins but conceding a bit quicker at around 36 moves when the tides turn. His comeback rate is an impressive 55%, showcasing strong tactical awareness and resilience even after setbacks like losing a piece—after which he boasts a perfect 100% win rate. Talk about turning lemons into checkmates!
Psychological Notes
Known to occasionally get a little "tilty" (we see you, Debjit, at a tilt factor of 9), he still manages to outplay casual purists with a noted 50% better win rate in rated games. And if you catch him playing at 1 a.m.? Prepare for some flawless, 100% win-rate magic—chess night owl, anyone?
Opponents & Records
Debjit fights battles far and wide—from familiar rivals like godaa233 and surya_190 to recent duels against hamzamathlouthi and ogn932. His quirky record shows some mixed fortunes (with some opponents having a 100% win rate against him, and him boasting a 100% win rate against many others). A true demonstration of chess’s unpredictability!
Fun Facts
- Has a secret opening strategy so mysterious it's literally called "Top Secret"—and it works pretty well, with nearly half wins in Blitz and over 51% in Rapid.
- Has a magnetic late-night chess streak, with perfect winning rates during the witching hours (1 AM and 20 PM).
- Doesn’t shy away from early resignations—maybe saving energy for the next big win or hiding from an opponent’s sneaky trap!
Whether you're a fellow chess fanatic or just appreciate the love-hate drama of the 64 squares, Debjit Karmakar’s journey is a delightful tribute to the endless quest for checkmate, with a pinch of humor and a dash of human imperfection.
