Don't let the numbers fool you — every loss is a lesson, and every win comes with a dash of flair.
Opening Moves & Signature Styles
Versatility is the name of the game. Against unknown openings, Dheeraja maintains a solid 45.45% win rate in rapid and approaches an even 48% in blitz, proving adaptability is one of the key weapons in the arsenal. For the more niche types, moves like the Scandinavian Defense (Mieses Kotrc Variation) and Petrov’s Defense Classical Variation bring a perfect 100% win record, suggesting an upcoming specialist in tricky lines. Meanwhile, there's a cheeky fondness for the King's Pawn Opening with a respectable 60% blitz win rate — classic, timeless, and effective.
The Emotional Rollercoaster & Mental Finesse
Dheeraja's psychological stats reveal a serious contender who isn't easily rattled. With a tilt factor of just 7 (because even grandmasters have their bad days), this player exhibits resilience and a flair for comebacks, boasting a comeback rate over 67%. When losing a piece, Dheeraja still wins 41.55% of the time — clearly a master of turning lemons into lemonade or pawns into queens!
When to Watch Out
The prime time to challenge Dheeraja? Around 7 PM — historically their sweet spot for dazzling wins. Conversely, matches around 8-9 PM or on Sundays have been less fruitful, giving opponents a slightly better shot.
Streaks & Memorable Battles
The longest winning streak rings in at a confident 7 games, but the toughest stretch has also been a 7-game losing skid. As of now, there’s a small losing streak going — proof that even champions face rough patches, but they’ll bounce back soon enough. The most recent victory? A slick, resignation-forcing performance utilizing the Petrov’s Defense Three Knights Game, demonstrating tactical sharpness and psychological pressure at its best.
