Ashok Ramadoss (ashookk)

National Master & Blitz Baron

Meet Ashok Ramadoss, a formidable National Master who has danced with the 64 squares for over a decade, charming opponents and puzzle enthusiasts alike. Known in the chess community by the username ashookk, Ashok's journey is a rollercoaster of blitz battles, bullet blitzkrieg, and rapid skirmishes, sprinkled with moments of sheer brilliance and the occasional dramatic blunder – because what’s chess without a little drama?

Starting with modest ratings in 2010, Ashok has climbed steadily to reach an impressive blitz peak over 2500 in 2024, a rating that demands respect. His rating history reads like a thriller novel with ups, downs, and cliffhangers; at times flirting with 2300+ in blitz and bullet formats, showing a love for fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping games.

Playing Highlights & Style

• Blitz win count breaks 12,600 with nearly as many losses; a testament to Ashok’s endurance and commitment to the rapid format.
• Bullet games are his playground too, boasting over 1,900 wins and a win rate near 55%, proving he’s no nervous bunny when the clock ticks down.
• His rapid and daily games may be less numerous but demonstrate a solid foundation with higher win percentages, showing versatile skills beyond blitz.
• Exceptionally strong comeback player with a comeback rate around 89%, and a perfect 100% win record after losing a piece! Clearly, Ashok's not one to cry over spilled pawns.
• Average moves per win are high (~73), indicating a preference for deep, strategic battles rather than quick smashes – patience is a virtue here.

Psychologically, Ashok has a tilt factor of 11, which translates roughly as "occasionally human" — sometimes flames get lit, but it never lasts long. After all, who hasn’t screamed at the internet after a blunder, right?

Favorite Opponents & Records

Ashok has faced a vast array of opponents with mixed results but holds a special (and fearsome) edge against several top rivals, boasting a 100% win record against some and a lightning-fast 16-game winning streak that must have intimidated entire chat rooms.

He thrives on top-secret openings — which remain classified like a royal gambit — but whatever his secret sauce is, it’s working with near 47% overall win rates in blitz and better in bullet and rapid.

When Not on the Board

Off the board, Ashok is rumored to meditate on chess problems, sip tea thoughtfully, and occasionally chuckle at his own blunders — because every National Master knows, behind every brilliant move, there’s a missed mate in one that keeps things fun!

Ashok Ramadoss stands tall in the chess cosmos: part strategist, part speed demon, and full-time chess lover. Approach him with respect, but don’t blink — or you might just miss the next checkmate.
