Advay Bansal - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Advay Bansal, known in chess circles as a steady storm rather than a raging tempest—earning the prestigious title of FIDE Master. With a blitz rating soaring near 2378 at their peak, Advay has spent countless hours duking it out over the board, proving that speed and strategy can indeed go hand in hand (and sometimes even foot, if you're playing bughouse).

Since 2019, Advay's chess journey has been one for the books. Starting from a humble blitz rating of just under 1700, they quickly accelerated to a peak just shy of 2400, dazzling opponents with swift tactical prowess and an endgame resilience rivaling the greatest survival stories of our times. If comebacks were an Olympic sport, Advay would take gold every time with an astonishing 88.6% comeback rate and a jaw-dropping nearly 100% win rate after losing a piece—talk about turning lemons into lemonade!

Not one to flee the battlefield prematurely, Advay’s early resignation rate sits comfortably under 2%, showing a will to fight longer than many who doodle on their scoresheets at move 15. Their love of the endgame is well documented, with close to 75% of games reaching this solemn battlefield where pawns become queens and nerves are tested. Interesting tidbit: their average moves per win hover around 77—so if you catch them in a quick game, you’re probably witnessing a blunder or two from both sides.

Whether wielding the white pieces with a near 47% win rate or defending valiantly as black with over 44%, Advay’s style blends patience, sharp tactics, and occasionally, a dash of calculated risk. Their Bullet and Blitz statistics reveal a player who thrives under pressure but also appreciates a slow burn when the tempo calls for it. And speaking of pressure, their tilt factor is a modest 32—quite commendable in the emotional roller coaster that is competitive chess.

Off the board, Advay is known among community opponents for their impressive winning streaks (the longest being 13 games!) and a top-secret opening repertoire that confounds even the most seasoned engines and players—perhaps because sometimes it’s just unpredictable genius, or maybe just a cleverly disguised feline walking across the keyboard.

Whether it’s midnight blitz sessions or rapid afternoon battles, Advay’s performance varies only slightly by day and hour, with a cheeky hint of 50% win rate at seemingly random times like 7 and 12 o’clock—proving the age-old chess wisdom: sometimes, just sometimes, the clock decides everything.

In a nutshell, Advay Bansal is your go-to master for thrilling tactical fireworks, relentless comebacks, and a reminder that chess mastery is part talent, part perseverance, and a splash of humor (because if you can’t laugh at a blunder, what can you laugh at?).
