Satyabrata Mohapatra (aka BapuniSB)
Meet Satyabrata Mohapatra, better known in the virtual chess world as BapuniSB, a chess enthusiast who's been juggling pawns, bishops, and the occasional blunder with remarkable resilience and flair.

Starting modestly with a blitz rating of 646 back in 2021, Satyabrata's rapid climb has been nothing short of a Sicilian Defense—sharp and full of surprises. As of mid-2025, he’s reached a peak blitz rating of 1435 and a rapid rating soaring up to 1700. That's some serious checkmating power!
Whether it’s bullet or blitz, this player’s relentless spirit is evident in the nearly 5200 wins across all formats combined, with a stubborn refusal to resign early, showcasing a mere 1.72% early resignation rate. Satyabrata’s games are a tad longer than average, savoring the struggle with an average 54.7 moves in victories—clearly a believer in the motto: “Why rush when you can outlast?”
