Bedabrata Banerjee (BroX000)
Bedabrata Banerjee, known online as BroX000, is a Rapid and Bullet warrior whose rating graph resembles a rocket launch. In just over two years, he climbed from a modest sub-1000 Rapid rating to a peak of 2554, powered by a diet of 1.e4, stubborn endgames, and an extraordinary tolerance for volume.
The Meteoric Rise
Bedabrata began his rated journey in July 2024 with a Rapid rating around 1019. October 2024 brought a 99 game surge and a jump from 949 to 1203. By February 2025 he crossed 1900, and by July 2026 he was flirting with 2300 before his final push. His peak ratings are 2554 (2026-09-15) in Rapid, 2417 (2026-07-24) in Blitz, and 2276 (2026-06-13) in Bullet.
His longest winning streak reached 16 games, while his longest losing streak stopped at 11, a tilt factor that humanizes an otherwise relentless grind.
Opening Repertoire
BroX000 is a creature of habit. As White he plays 1.e4 with near religious devotion, and he rarely strays. As Black he leans on the Caro-Kann Defense, the Sicilian Defense, and the Scandinavian Defense. He also enjoys the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, a sharp little trap that has won him 65 Rapid games and countless blunders from unsuspecting opponents.
