Chandan Gupta: The Chess Adventurer
Meet Chandan Gupta, also known in the chess world as chandann0, a player whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster. Starting modestly with a blitz rating of just 455 in 2022, Chandan has catapulted himself to a respectable 1450 by early 2025 — a meteoric rise fueled by thousands of games and an unyielding passion for the game.
Game Modes & Ratings
- Blitz: Started at 455, soaring up to 1450 with a fierce mix of wins and losses that reflect the fiery nature of quick chess battles.
- Bullet: From a quiet zero in 2022 to an impressive 1559 in 2025, Chandan proves he can handle the adrenaline-pumping chaos of bullet chess with aplomb.
- Rapid: A steady climb from 703 in 2022 to a solid 1257 in 2025, showing patience and strategy beyond the thumbs of haste.
- Daily: Though only dipping toes with a peak rating of 1120, daily chess reveals a more contemplative side — or maybe just the struggle to wake up early for those games!
Chess Style & Quirks
Chandan’s chess style is a curious blend: with an early resignation rate of just 2.8%, he clearly doesn’t give up easily — unless the opponent played a perfect opening. But with over 75% of his games featuring endgames, he shows a warrior’s heart seeing battles through to the bitter, strategic end. Interestingly, he averages about 69 moves to win and 73 moves to lose, so these games aren’t sprints; they're marathons punctuated by moments of brilliance, blunders, and the occasional hair-pulling.
Tactical Wizardry & Comebacks
If there’s one magic trick Chandan has mastered, it’s making comebacks — with an astonishing 81.91% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, he’s the definition of “never say die.” Opponents beware: capturing a piece here might just light the fire needed for a spectacular reversal.
Streaks, Opponents & Secrets
With a longest winning streak of 13 games, Chandan can go on streaks that would intimidate even the most stoic grandmasters — or maybe it was just beginner's luck? When it comes to opponents, he has a colorful cast of most-played rivals, including Italiothebest and Soham4348 — and while some have had all their pieces taken off the board, others have made Chandan break a sweat.
Fun Facts & Chess Persona
Pick any day or hour, and you'll find Chandan’s win rate hovering steadily around 50–57%, with a surprising spike at dawn (3 AM) hit rate of nearly 59% — clearly, this player is powered by either stealthy strategy or pure caffeine. And when playing White, he edges out Black performance with nearly a 53% win rate. He is undoubtedly a strategist who turns the tide in his favor, whether by lightning-fast bullets or marathon blitz duels.
In a nutshell, Chandan Gupta is a determined player who turns every move into a story and every loss into a lesson — proving once and for all that in chess and in life, it’s not just about making moves, but about making memorable ones.
