Meet Atharvabiniwale2000: The Chess Warrior

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player known simply as atharvabiniwale2000. Not just your average pawn pusher, this enigmatic rapid and bullet chess enthusiast has braved many battles on the 64 squares with a peak rapid rating of 757 and a bullet peak of 1038, proving that even underdog warriors have their shining moments.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting strong with a debut rapid rating of 757 in September 2021, Atharvabiniwale quickly found out that chess, much like life, is a journey filled with ups, downs, and the occasional sideways shuffle. While the numbers dipped to a last recorded rapid rating of 448 by December, persistence is the name of the game.

Despite a headline-grabbing longest losing streak of 19 games, our hero knows how to bounce back with a 50% comeback rate after slipping up. Let's call it the classic underdog story—sometimes you fall, but you rise with a queen ready to strike!

The Style & Stats

Atharvabiniwale's playing style is a unique blend of patience and endurance, averaging 44.75 moves per win and sticking around till the endgame 42% of the time. Early resignation? Rarely (only ~5%), because why quit when it's not quite over? White or black, the win rates are pretty even (around 15%). Hey, fair is fair!

Notable Victories & “Close Calls”

One of the most memorable wins occurred in October 2021 against onkar369 by an elegant checkmate, showcasing excellent tactical awareness to finish strong — all while wearing the invisible crown of perseverance. View the game here.

Of course, not every game was a fairy tale. December 2021 saw a tough checkmate loss against ajeenkya97, a reminder that for every grandmaster, there’s a monster lurking in the shadows of the rating ladder.

Fun Facts

• Only 4 wins in 25 rapid games with the mysterious "Top Secret" opening — maybe the secret's out too soon?
• Tilt factor of 19 — which means chess emotions run about as wild as in a game of poker.
• Plays best at 7 PM — prime time not just for Netflix, but for checkmates.
• Has a curious ability to win 100% of games against lower-rated opponents, but struggles overwhelmingly against higher-rated challengers. Classic rookie-to-challenger saga.

The Legend Continues...

Atharvabiniwale2000 might not be on the front page of chess glory yet, but every loss fuels the next fight, every draw a pause to think, and every win a small victory danced with joy. After all, chess is a marathon of minds, and our player has plenty of energy left to run.
