Poobesh Anand (CHENNAIBOND)
International Master of Chess
Poobesh Anand, famously known online as CHENNAIBOND, is an International Master who’s navigated the battlefield of 64 squares with a blend of grit, wit, and occasional dash of madness. Holding the prestigious FIDE title of International Master, Poobesh has shown that chess is not just a game of kings, but also of comebacks and courage—his comeback rate is an impressive 76.58%, proving that even when pieces fall, the fight is far from over.
His journey in rapid chess is a rollercoaster: from a modest 1200 rating in 2012 to a meteoric rise up to 2389 by 2024. It’s almost like his rating caught a rocket to the stars, only to remember that Earth gravity applies—hence the dips along the way. In blitz, Poobesh has logged thousands of games, with a respectable win rate near 36%, taking on opponents quicker than a knight jumps over pawns.
Bullet chess might be too fast even for a caffeine-fueled grandmaster, but fear not—Poobesh maintains a solid performance with striking tactical awareness, boasting a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade, or should we say, turning undefended pawns into checkmates.
Known for a somewhat “eccentric” playing style, his longest winning streak stands proudly at 13 games—prolonged dominance that surely made his rivals reconsider their life choices. However, chess can be a psychological battlefield, and with a tilt factor of 100, sometimes the warrior within turns into… let's just say “temporarily confused.”
Off the board, Poobesh is a master of gadgets and mouse clicks, showing a notable preference for playing on weekdays and afternoons, with an uncanny 65% win rate at 11 AM. Clearly, mornings are when the magic happens, and coffee is, no doubt, his secret weapon.
Whether battling legendary engines like Komodo or outwitting school friends, Poobesh Anand remains a true force of chess, blending strategic stamina with a sense of humor that makes reading his games twice as fun. One might say he’s the knight in shining armor we never knew we needed–sometimes charging headfirst, other times lurking patiently, waiting for the perfect fork.
