Meet Anand Tiwary, a blitz aficionado whose chess journey is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride—sometimes soaring above 1100 and other times flirting with the under-800 club.

The Blazing Blitz Strategist
With over 8,000 blitz games under his belt, Anand has a near-even split between wins (3,416) and losses (3,375), punctuated by a sprinkle of draws (82). This means he plays with guts – every game is a battle where he either shines bright or learns anew. His longest winning streak is a solid 11 games, and as of now, he’s riding a 2-win streak. Keep an eye on this rising star!
Playing Style & Quirks
- Early Resignations: About 7% – he knows when to cut his losses, probably less stubborn than some legends...
- Endgame Frequency: Almost half of his games (45%) reach the final stages, showing his commitment to fighting till the end.
- Avg Moves Per Win: Around 50 moves – patience is a virtue, and Anand’s got it.
- Win Rates: White pieces boost him a little above 52%, while Black holds steady at nearly 47%.
- Tactical Prowess: Comeback rate of 62% and a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece reveal Anand’s no-give-up attitude. The man embodies resilience on the 64 squares.
Favorite Time to Flex Brains
Anand’s chess brain is sharp around 10 PM and 7 AM, with win rates nearing 56%. Night owl or early bird? Maybe both. His Tuesdays and Mondays are slightly luckier, boasting win percentages above 51%. Weekends? They’re a bit of a rollercoaster, but then again, who can play perfect chess every day?
The Opening Mystery
His opening repertoire is shrouded in secrecy – all his games fall under "Top Secret" openings! This clandestine approach keeps opponents guessing and makes every game an adventure.
Noteworthy Opponents
Among his many opponents, Anand seems to have a love-hate relationship with vanshikakaushik, having met 16 times with a challenging win rate of only 17%. Meanwhile, he boasts perfect records against several players, including allan-87 and ipayifuwin — must be his lucky charms!
Daily & Rapid Adventures
While his blitz skills are impressive, Anand tries his hand occasionally at Daily and Rapid formats. Daily games are few but crisp, with mixed outcomes. Rapid has been a bit rough, with no wins recorded in those brief forays—a reminder that rapid-fire chess requires different magic!
Psychological Resilience
Despite a tilt factor of 11 (we all have our days!), Anand’s rated vs casual win difference of nearly 50% hints at a player who steps up his game when things count, battling nerves and calculators alike.
In conclusion: Anand Tiwary is a spirited chess warrior who fights hard, adapts cleverly, and never backs down – except maybe at that 7% early resignation mark. Whether you face him at dawn or dusk, expect a fight packed with surprises and plenty of pawns marching toward glory.
