R Aravinthr

Profile Summary: R Aravinthr (Aravinth0305)

Meet R Aravinthr, a rapid chess battler navigating the 600-700 ELO seas with the tenacity of a seasoned sea captain and the occasional flair of a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat—or a knight out of a fork!

Playing Style & Personality

Aravinthr is a fighter who loves a good tussle on the board, averaging around 50 moves in victory and enduring over 60 moves in defeat, showing a heart as big as his endgame frequency (nearly 53%). With a tilt factor of 9, he sometimes lets the heat of the battle get to him, but his comeback rate of 57.45% reveals he’s no stranger to turning tides and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Early resignation? Only about 6.3% of the time—because giving up early is just not Aravinthr's style. His white pieces wield a slightly better win rate (~51%) than black (~49%), which means he's equally comfortable leading the charge first or fighting from behind.

Ratings & Performance Journey

Starting with a rapid rating of 1206 in December 2024 that dipped dramatically like a rollercoaster (down to 100 at one point!), Aravinthr steadied the ship and climbed back up to a solid 687 rating by June 2025. Daily chess seems a sweet spot with a peak rating of 1259, where he’s managed to maintain a perfect win record so far.

Blitz? Well, Aravinthr dipped his toes there with a brief stint, hitting 466 before a slump to 259, proving that rapid and daily are the comfort zones.

Opening Preferences & Strengths

• King’s Pawn Opening is the reliable bread and butter with a 50% win rate in 288 games.
• Pirc Defense shines brightest: an impressive 76.92% win rate over 26 games, suggesting a secret weapon in his repertoire.
• Queens Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense and Philidor Defense also yield respectable results, showcasing Aravinthr’s diverse tastes.
• Scandinavian Defense and Nimzowitsch Defense, not so much. Maybe they’re reserved for the villain roles?

Memorable Game Highlights

Aravinthr recently showcased his checkmating prowess in a live online duel against lionel06220, executing a flawless mating net after a tactical melee in the Italian Game Knight Attack Variation. His finesse in turning pressure into victory was notable! In another elegant sweep, he toppled DrRobbieK with a cool Qa8# finish in a Reti Opening scenario.

Even in defeat, his games are battles to behold, like a nail-biter loss by checkmate against Berryphase90, emphasizing his fighting spirit to the very end.

Fun Fact & Personality Quirk

Despite the ups and downs typical of a fierce chess journey, Aravinthr’s longest winning streak is a respectable 8, proving he can ride a hot streak like a pro surfer catching the biggest wave. On the flip side, his longest losing streak is 9, which he probably grumbles about while plotting his comeback like a chess villain from a spy movie.
