Roman Mitra (Username: Chandradi)
National Master & Chess Enthusiast Extraordinaire
Meet Roman Mitra, a formidable force on the chessboard and a proud holder of the National Master title. If chess were an Olympic sport, Roman would probably be the one angrily flipping the board after an unexpected blunder—but alas, that's just part of the drama of the game!
Roman's style is a delightful blend of resilience and endurance, boasting an impressive longest winning streak of 19 games and a comeback rate of over 78%, proving that Roman never quite gives up—even when the opponent snatches a piece or two.
With peak ratings soaring as high as 2212 in Rapid, 2591 in Blitz, and an astonishing 2632 in Bullet, Roman proves that speed and precision can coexist. Tactical prowess shines through with a notable 50.5% win rate after losing a piece—because sometimes losing a pawn just makes the victory sweeter.
When it comes to openings, Roman keeps opponents guessing with effective but mysterious strategies labeled as “Unknown Opening” and “Top Secret.” Rumor has it Roman once whispered these moves to their cat, and now Chess.com is still trying to decode them.
The player's most crushing victories often come by checkmate, as Roman’s patience and endgame skill dominate, with an endgame frequency of nearly 73%. Interestingly, Roman is most likely to play at their best just before dawn around 5 AM (move over, roosters!).
Fun fact: Roman tends to resign early about 12% of the time—either due to recognizing an unavoidable defeat or just sparing the audience another lengthy agony.
Recent Triumph
On June 2nd, 2025, Roman (as Chandradi) executed a beautiful checkmate against Hmnotanatix in a rapid-paced game using the English Opening Caro-Kann Defensive System. The final queen maneuver on move 46 had spectators applauding and opponents trembling.
Roman's journey through thousands of games features thousands of wins in Blitz and Bullet, proving that speed-chess adrenaline is their sweet spot. But don't let the numbers fool you; there’s an artist behind every clever sacrifice and cunning attack.
So, whether you catch Roman Mitra furiously calculating a series of complex moves or dramatically sighing at a blunder, one thing is sure: this National Master loves chess like a true warrior—sometimes with style, sometimes with stubbornness, but always with heart.
