Suresh Harsh - The International Master Known as Chessmissile07
Meet Suresh Harsh, an International Master (IM) soaring through the ranks with a chessboard precision that could give a missile guidance system a run for its money—hence the fitting nickname, Chessmissile07.
Career & Achievements
Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, Suresh is a serious force to reckon with in the blitz and bullet arenas. With a peak blitz rating soaring above 3000 (3021 in early 2024!) and a bullet rating climbing near the 2900 mark, few can keep up with their lightning-fast tactics and relentless endgame prowess.
Playing Style & Humor
Suresh is not only a master of the pieces but a connoisseur of the long game, averaging over 82 moves per win in blitz, suggesting patience that rivals a saint waiting in traffic. Their approach? Endgames are practically their second home, with an 87.42% frequency in their games—probably why opponents call them, "The Endgame Whisperer." Critics speculate they’ve secretly installed a treadmill under their chair for all those extra moves!

- Rapid games: Less frequent but still sharp, boasting nearly twice as many wins as losses.
- Longest Winning Streak: An astounding 23 games!
Opening Tricks
While many openings have tried to faze Suresh, they've shown love (and domination) for the secretive and top-secret variations, making opponents feel like they’re playing chess with a secret agent. Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and Owens Defense also make appearances, where clever trapdoors are always set.
Recent Battles
In a recent blitz clash on May 27, 2025, Suresh, playing black under the moniker Chessmissile07, elegantly won a game via resignation against GothamChess after a carefully choreographed defense in the Modern Defense variation — proving yet again that even against the sharpest white pieces, Suresh's missile-like strikes find their target.
Fun Facts

- Favorite hours to play? Early mornings at 3:00AM — the perfect time to launch sneak attacks while the world sleeps.
