His most recent peak rapid rating climbed to 1285 in late 2020, proving his adaptability across formats.
Blitz is Anoj’s battleground of choice, where he has played nearly a thousand games and amassed a near-equal tally of wins and losses—proving that every game is a new battle and every defeat a lesson. His style favors the Queens Pawn Opening – especially the Chigorin and Zukertort Variations and the lively Englund Gambit, demonstrating a love for dynamic, unorthodox positions that keep opponents guessing.
Anoj’s resilience is legendary: with a comeback rate over 75%, he’s the kind of opponent who never throws in the towel without a fight. His average winning game lasts about 60 moves, showing patience and an appetite for deep, strategic battles rather than quick checkmates. However, when it is time to finish, Anoj’s favorite type of victory is by checkmate, showcasing his offensive prowess and tactical alertness.
The Psychological Chess Warrior
Beware opponents: Anoj’s tilt factor sits around 12%, indicating he sometimes feels the sting of bad breaks, but his game recovers quickly. His best games tend to surface late at night (around 11 PM), when perhaps the stars align or the caffeine kicks in. Then again, he boasts a 100% win rate in the mysterious 23rd hour, proving he’s a night owl lethal to anyone foolish enough to play him then.
Tournaments and Highlights
From online live chess battles to rapid skirmishes, Anoj enjoys testing his mettle against a wide variety of opponents. His record includes memorable wins by checkmate and fierce battles decided by time pressure. Whether facing difficult openings like the Sicilian or gambits, Anoj adapts with style and grit.
