Anubhav Kumar: The Chessboard’s Calculated Maverick
Meet Anubhav Kumar, known online as AnubhavHKumar, a chess player whose style could be best described as "strategically unpredictable" with just a splash of comedy. With a Blitz rating peaking at a respectable 1197 back in 2020, and a Rapid rating maxing out at 728 in 2025, Anubhav is the kind of player who enjoys the game as much as the occasional unexpected twist.
Strengths & Style
While Anubhav's Early Resignation Rate is a humble 5.77%, he’s no quitter — especially since his average games span roughly 54 moves, proving he fights hard whether winning or losing. He thrives on comebacks, boasting a stellar 65.43% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, underdog stories are his specialty.
Favorite Openings and Strategies
On the Rapid battlefield, Anubhav dabbles in various openings with an impressive 100% win rate in the Van t Kruijs and King's Pawn King's Knight Variation, proving he picks his moments carefully. Blitz games are where his nimble tactics shine: the Nimzowitsch Defense and King's Pawn King's Knight Variation are his playgrounds, consistently earning him over 50% wins. Despite a few humble zero-win outings in the Sicilian Defense Bowdler Attack, every game is a chance to learn and launch surprise attacks.
Opponent Insights
Anubhav’s opponents quickly find he's a fierce competitor. His win rate is a rollercoaster — 100% victories against some (like tiger7896 and drmircchess fans) and occasionally, a tough day against others where he tasted defeat mercilessly. You could say Anubhav either takes the crown or offers a masterclass in humility. He also keeps a close rival record with “lucavan” at an even 50%, showing some matches truly come down to the wire.
When Does Anubhav Shine?
Evening lights and later hours bring out his best moves. His win rate peaks at 80% during 5 PM games and holds a strong 66.67% success around 7 PM. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, his mind seems especially sharp, boasting win rates above 50%. But don’t be fooled—early mornings and late nights have their mysteries with mixed results ranging from brilliant wins to puzzling losses.
Finally...
With a tilt factor of 7, Anubhav keeps it cool but not too cool—just like any good chess hero, he’s human after all. One can only suspect that behind every loss is a lesson... and behind every win, a sly grin plotting the next checkmate.
In sum: Anubhav Kumar plays chess not just to win, but to entertain, learn, and occasionally leave his opponents wondering what just happened. Watch out for his next move — it might just be a surprise!
