Prasheel Patel - AKA cheemsboi

Prasheel Patel, affectionately known in the chess realm as cheemsboi, is a modern-day strategist who proves that persistence beats talent—most of the time. With a playing timeline stretching from 2021 through 2025, Prasheel has journeyed through the ranks with a spirited and occasionally hilarious style.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting out in 2021, Prasheel’s Bullet rating kicked off strong at over 1000, but quickly dipped into the 400s—a classic case of the "warm-up shuffle." Since then, he’s slowly but steadily climbed back to a respectable 490 in Bullet by 2025, showing patience that would make a clock proud.

In Rapid, he’s hovered around the 800-900 range, peaking at 933 in 2023, proving that given a bit more time, Prasheel’s calculated moves come to life. Blitz, his lightning-round playground, has seen a fair share of ups and downs, currently sitting in the mid-300s.

Playing Style & Quirks

  • Average moves per game hover around 53, indicating a patient, well-thought-out style that's equal parts endurance and tactical awareness.
  • Known for making comebacks — with a stunning 73.63% comeback rate, it’s clear cheemsboi refuses to throw in the towel early (except maybe 2% of the time when reality hits).
  • Endgames are his playground, featured in over half his games, where he squeezes victory from the sharpest of positions.
  • Prasheel has a rare superpower: a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Apparently, losing material only fuels his fire!

Psychological Game

While not immune to the occasional tilt (with a tilt factor of 14), Prasheel keeps a cool head and battles through losses. Interestingly, his rated matches seem to be tougher, with an 18% lower win rate than casual play—perhaps reminding us all that nerves are real when the stakes are high.

Memorable Stats & Fun Facts

His longest winning streak? An impressive 10 games in a row. Currently, cheemsboi is keeping his streaks humble, but don’t be surprised when he surprises you next game.

Prasheel’s favorite secret weapon opening is "Top Secret"—a mysterious strategy that’s netted him nearly 50% wins in Bullet formats and close to that in Blitz and Rapid.

Notoriously unpredictable in daily games, he only played one and lost, but hey, who needs those slow games when you have Blitz and Bullet to burn?

In the Opponent Arena

His fiercest rivals are many, but some opponents have become regulars, including shashigp and blackchessqueen92. Fascinatingly, he has a perfect win record against some players (details classified) and, well, less stellar against others—because even the best have off days.

When Does Prasheel Play?

Turns out, he’s a night owl and an early bird rolled into one. With peak win rates around noon (a surprising 80%) and late night (22:00 clocking 58% wins), Prasheel’s chess clock is tuned for the unconventional hours.

In short: Prasheel Patel is the chess player who proves that persistence, unpredictability, and a pinch of mystery make for an unforgettable opponent. So if you face cheemsboi on the board, prepare for a rollercoaster ride—complete with tactical twists, resilient cheer, and the occasional cheeky move.

Hi Prasheel!

Below is some personalised feedback based on your latest games as cheemsboi. I have focused on trends that repeat across wins and losses so that the advice is practical and actionable.

1. What you are doing well

  • Consistent opening choice as Black: You score well with the Modern / Pirc setup (…g6, …Bg7, …Nf6, …d6). This gives you a solid structure and lots of tactical chances. Keep it in your repertoire and study a mini-line each week.
  • Tactical alertness: In several wins you spotted forks and queen infiltrations (e.g. 18.Nd6+ in your win vs BNSdion). Your eye for loose pieces is a real asset.
  • Fighting spirit: You never shy away from complications and often play on even when material is down, which wins games at this level.

2. Biggest improvement areas

  1. Time management (critical!)
    Six of your last ten losses were simply on time. Treat every 60-second game as if the clock starts at 40 seconds; move faster early, then use increments (if any) to think later.
    • Try “move, verify, move” instead of “think, think, move”.
    • Play 3 | 2 or 5 | 5 sessions twice a week to practise keeping 10-20 seconds in reserve.
  2. Early queen adventures with White
    The line 1.d4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bf4 often leads you to grab material (5.Nxc7+, 12.Qxg7, 13.Qxh8 in your loss vs yannou71) but costs too many tempi. Opponents develop while your queen runs, and you fall behind in king safety.
    • Re-watch that game and ask “Who is ahead in development after move 10?”. Answer: Black.
    • Set a rule: your queen should not cross the 4th rank before move 10 unless it wins a piece without opening your king to checks.
  3. King safety & central files
    In multiple defeats (e.g. 22…Rg8+ vs dipperjohn, 24…Qg2# vs ShupzyRules) your king sat in the centre while open files appeared. It often stems from omitting one of the three basic opening goals: develop – castle – connect rooks.
    • Make castling your default. If you aren’t castled by move 10, ask yourself why not.
  4. Defending against rook lifts & mating nets
    The pattern …Rg8/…Rh8/…Qh2# (or the mirror as Black) beat you twice. Study the themes “h-file battery” and the “back-rank mate” to learn typical defensive resources (h3/h6 luft, trading attacking pieces, returning material).

3. One annotated example

The diagram below comes from your loss vs yannou71 (move 6). You are three pawns up but all your pieces are undeveloped and your king is stuck in the centre.

Key takeaway: Material is not everything; time and king safety matter more at this phase.
