Profile Summary: Amulya Prakash Tiwari (aka Amupandii)
Meet Amulya Prakash Tiwari, or as the chess world affectionately knows him, Amupandii — a steadfast warrior of the 64 squares and a connoisseur of the quirky Englund Gambit.
Though his peak rapid rating hovers around the modest 576 mark in the year 2025, Amupandii has shown no shortage of grit and determination playing nearly 300 rapid games. His style? A curious blend of resilience and tactical opportunism, boasting a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece! Clearly, when the going gets tough, Amupandii refuses to get going — instead, turning adversity into checkmate gold.
Funny thing about Amulya's openings: he loves to dance to his own rhythm by choosing aggressive and peculiar lines. The Englund Gambit is his theatrical favorite, with a stunning 73% win rate — a rarity in these waters, making opponents often wonder if they accidentally stumbled into an experimental jazz concert. He also plays a variety of Queen's Pawn openings, rocking Chigorin and Zukertort variations, gliding through Scandinavian Defense lines, and pulling surprises on both knights and pawns alike.
Amupandii’s results spell an epic saga of ups and downs — almost a balanced ledger of wins and losses in rapid chess (140 wins to 142 losses) and a blitz saga that’s still in the sharpening phase (3 wins against 11 losses). Bullet chess? Well, let’s just say Amulya respects the speed demons but hasn’t yet caught fire in that blazing arena.
When it comes to playing times, Saturdays seem to be his lucky charm with a winning rate north of 58%, and mornings between 5 and 7 AM are when his creativity sparks best — so if you see him online early, beware! At his best, Amupandii can string five consecutive wins, showing flashes of Siegfried-like dominance, but also knows how to keep his cool with a surprisingly low tilt factor of 9.
His recent victories often end with poetic checkmates or opponent resignations — as in the thrilling match where Amupandii crushed his adversary in a swift and beautiful mate after cavalier knights and queens danced across the board. Losses? Of course, everyone has them, but Amu meets each with the smile of a strategist already plotting his comeback.
In summary, Amulya Prakash Tiwari is a passionate and fearless chess enthusiast who treats each game like an epic chess-drama, occasionally flamboyant with his choices but always aiming to leave his opponents befuddled and outmaneuvered. Expect exciting gambits, stubborn defense, and a dash of unpredictable charm from this underrated player known simply as Amupandii.
