Sivaji Adurthy - The Chess Adventurer

Born to wield knights and bishops with flair, Sivaji Adurthy has carved out a unique space in the chess world, balancing chessboard battles with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of unpredictability. With a blitz rating dancing between 799 and 1173 over the years, Sivaji isn’t your grandmaster-next-door, but more like the fearless warrior who never shies away from a skirmish—even if it means occasionally rocking the boat.

His rapid rating peaked around 1309, showing flashes of brilliance and the ability to channel the spirit of a blitzing dragon, especially in those intense rapid games. Daily chess? Oh, Sivaji dabbles there, too, boasting a sharp 1262 peak, proving that sometimes slow and steady really does win the race.

Known among peers for a come back rate of an impressive 68.45%, Sivaji has a magical knack for turning losing positions into glorious victories—because giving up early is not in the rulebook here (despite an early resignation rate of just under 2%, an honest confession of human moments on the battlefield).

Sivaji’s chess style is a blend of grit and grind with a fondness for long endgames, averaging about 55 moves per win—enough patience to outlast the toughest opponents. But beware if you dare take a piece off Sivaji: his win rate after losing a piece is an undefeated 100%! Now that’s what we call tenacity.

When not dodging queens or trapping rooks, Sivaji likes to challenge friends and foes on the hour most auspicious: 10 AM sharp, where a surprising 58% win rate hints at some secret morning mojo.

His record across various opponents is a rollercoaster with some foes like “durt317” giving him a tug-of-war with just under 48% success, while others fold faster than a cheap chair in the wind.

Fun fact: Sivaji's longest winning streak is a proud 12 games, but the current streak is zero, probably plotting new strategies (or just enjoying a nice cup of tea).

From blitz to bullet, rapid to daily, Sivaji's journey is less about grandmaster titles and more about the joy of the game, the thrill of the fight, and the occasional dance of the pawns.

All moves considered, Sivaji Adurthy is the sort of player who makes chess as entertaining as it is strategic — with a good laugh along the way.
