Harshith Ram CS aka bloodyguymram

Meet Harshith Ram CS, a rapid-fire strategist and chessboard comedian whose rating journey has been as dynamic as his favorite openings. Known by the enigmatic username bloodyguymram, Harshith has battled his way through a rollercoaster of games with a peak Rapid rating of 730 achieved in October 2024, and a Bullet peak of a swift 738 in May 2025. Clearly, when it comes to speed, he’s no stranger to the fast lane!

The Chess Odyssey

Harshith’s style blends classic textbook openings with the occasional spicy gambit, resulting in a spicy stew of wins, losses, and everything in between. His favorite playgrounds include the Four Knights Game (where he boasts a perfect 100% win rate, because who doesn’t love a good knight dance?) and the Giuoco Piano Game, which sings sweet victory tunes 75% of the time. Though his King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation reveals a slightly mischievous 33% win rate, it’s all part of the grand chess adventure.

Battle Scars and Glory Tales

With a Rapid record close to even, tallying 55 wins, 58 losses, and 8 draws, Harshith shows resilience and tenacity. Bullet chess has been a tougher nut, but with a taste of the sweet fruit of victory (1 win) amid 2 losses, it’s clear he’s not afraid to bite off more than he can chew. Did we mention his longest winning streak is a respectable 6 games, but also his tough “learning moments” include a longest losing streak of 8? Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster of chess fandom!

Playing Habits & Quirks

  • Has an early resignation rate of 15% — sometimes you just know when to call it quits instead of rehearsing that viral blunder.
  • A solid endgame enthusiast with 50% endgame frequency – because the real drama unfolds when kings and pawns dance to their finale.
  • Known for a comeback rate of 62.5%, he truly believes every losing position holds a secret plot twist.
  • His best time to play? Sharp and ready around 12:00 noon, proving brains are fueled best by lunchtime sandwiches.

Favorite Victories & Humbling Defeats

Among his recent memorable triumphs is a dazzling checkmate against mod123r, conquering the Italian Game with a brilliant queen maneuver terminating the game on move 59. That’s patience and precision paying off.

Of course, like all heroes, Harshith has faced down some tough defeats, such as a recent checkmate by salamander-44, reminding us all that even the mightiest can face the unexpected fork.

Among opponents, Harshith shines brightest against players like mod123r, akbigslickak, and chilkuriebenezer, notching a perfect 100% win rate — a.k.a. the "No Mercy Club."

In His Own Words

“Chess is less about never falling and more about getting back up with style... and maybe a sneaky knight fork.”

Summary

Whether racing against the clock in Bullet, unraveling intricate battles in Rapid, or experimenting with quirky openings, Harshith aka bloodyguymram plays with passion, perseverance, and a dash of humor. A player certainly worth watching for exciting twists and unpredictable turns on the 64 squares.

Hi Harshith Ram CS!

You have an attractive, initiative-oriented style. When the tactics are flowing you convert confidently, as in the miniature below:

Recent highlight – clean conversion after a thematic Ng5–Nxe6 idea:


What you’re already doing well

  • Tactical awareness – forks on e6 / f7, discovered checks, and mating nets appear often in your wins.
  • Active rook play – in several games your rooks reach the 7th rank early, piling up on open files.
  • Confidence to sacrifice – you don’t hesitate to part with pawns to open lines toward the enemy king.

Recurring problems to fix

  1. King safety in the early middlegame
    • In the loss to salamander-44 your king walked to g5 by move 25 and was mated soon after.
    • Keep the king in the centre only when the centre is closed and you are ahead in development. Otherwise castle quickly.
  2. Over-reliance on early queen adventures
    • Games against Heyramb_Gautam and ditysr show the queen grabbing pawns (Qxb7 / Qxf2) before development was finished.
    • Follow basic opening priorities: develop → castle → connect rooks before pawn-hunting.
  3. Handling of central tension
    • In several Italian/Bishop’s openings you captured on d4 or pushed …d6 without having pieces ready, handing White a free initiative.
    • Study model games in the Italian and Vienna to learn standard central plans (…d5 breaks, …h6 vs Ng5 ideas, etc.).
  4. Endgame conversion technique
    • Even wins sometimes needed 40+ moves after you were already a piece up.
    • Spend 10 minutes per session on basic king-and-pawn and rook endgames; smoother technique will save time on the clock.
  5. Clock management in 60 s games
    • Losses to 0NiON89 and others came from time pressure in winning positions.
    • Practise one-touch premove drills and keep a margin of ≥5 seconds entering tactical complications.

Mini check-list before every move

  1. Are any of my pieces hanging?
  2. What is my opponent’s last threat?
  3. Does castling improve my king safety?
  4. Can I improve the worst-placed piece instead of launching an attack?

Keep enjoying your dynamic style, but anchor it with solid fundamentals and you’ll climb quickly beyond 600-700 rapid. Good luck, and feel free to share any annotated games for deeper analysis!
