Praveen V V - The Chess Warrior with a Tactical Twist

Meet Praveen V V, a chess player whose journey could be best described as a rollercoaster on the 64 squares. With a career spanning over a decade, Praveen has seen their Rapid rating fluctuate between the highs of 1321 and a humble low of 687, proving that even the best stumble before they rise again.

Praveen's style? Think of it as a blend between a calculated strategist and a bold adventurer. With an Endgame frequency of nearly 60%, Praveen clearly enjoys those tense, nail-biting finales that test patience and nerves. Their Long wins average hovering around 63 moves shows a preference for battles of endurance rather than quick skirmishes.

Known for a surprisingly high comeback rate of 74.76%, Praveen never surrenders without a fiery fightback, and boasts a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—because who doesn’t love a good underdog story? At the same time, a modest tilt factor of 11 suggests that while emotions do flare, they are unlikely to derail the game (too often).

Opening repertoire is as diverse as Praveen’s opponents, but the Van't Kruijs Opening seems to be their lucky charm with a win rate exceeding 52%. The classic King's Pawn Opening and its knight variation also feature heavily in their games, reflecting a balanced approach to control and aggression. In Blitz format, Praveen doesn’t mess around either, showing remarkable success with the King's Fianchetto opening and even boasting a perfect 100% record in rare bird defenses.

Off the board, Praveen is known by the username buvaneshwr, a moniker that strikes as serious but has a cheeky side—especially to those who know the struggle of a sub-1000 rapid rating trying to make a move against Grandmasters online. Despite a win/loss record that tilts slightly towards the challenging side, Praveen’s resilience and dedication to the game make them a formidable presence on any virtual or physical battlefield.

Fun fact: Praveen’s games are usually busiest during mornings and late evenings, where their win rates peak above 50%—clearly an early bird with a late-night penchant for pawns and kings.

In summary, Praveen V V is the embodiment of the amateur who loves the game, fights hard, and technically never gives up—chess wouldn’t be the same without them.
