Anurag Jaiswal (Chinni2250) - Candidate Master
Meet Anurag Jaiswal, known in many chess circles by the mysterious moniker Chinni2250, a title-holder officially recognized as a Candidate Master by FIDE. Anurag’s chess journey is a perfect blend of strategic brilliance, resilience, and a dash of unpredictability that keeps opponents on their toes.
Rating and Playing Style
Anurag has dazzled on the blitz boards, achieving a peak rating of 2272 as recently as March 2025. Rapid games showcase a sharp mind as well, with a high of 1946, while bullet chess proves a bit trickier — topping at 1670. His gameplay is famously endgame-heavy, engaging deep into 69 moves on average before sealing the deal or conceding defeat. With a comeback rate above 81%, Anurag clearly hates quitting early and fights hard when the going gets tough.
Victories and Defeats
With a career record showing 22 wins in blitz and a balanced rapid record of 9 wins, 9 losses, and 1 draw, Anurag embodies the spirited fighter. He occasionally stumbles—his longest losing streak hitting 6 games—but the "tilt factor" of only 6 suggests he keeps his cool more often than not.
Tactical Flair and Opening Choices
When it comes to openings, Anurag prefers the enigmatic “Unknown Opening” in blitz, flexing unpredictability with a decent 36.8% win rate. Rapid games show more diversity, including the Sicilian Defense Najdorf English Attack, where he boasts a 50% win rate, proving he’s not afraid to dance with one of the most notoriously sharp and complex openings. Opponents beware: his record against some rivals flaunts a 100% win rate — take ’em lightly and you might be the next notch on his belt!
Memorable Moments
A recent gem was the victory against soumenmondal1, achieved by a resignation after a brutally calculated onslaught in the Sicilian Defense Najdorf English Attack. Perhaps not all heroes wear capes, but Anurag definitely wears a battlemind — orchestrating endgames that make opponents question their life choices.
Off the Board
Despite a wide range of results, one thing’s clear: Anurag is a student of the game with a serious appetite for improvement, facing grandmasters in peak form and occasionally tasting bitter defeat, only to come back stronger. Whether playing at 11 AM (his prime hour) or late night, the drive to checkmate never sleeps.
“If chess is war, Anurag Jaiswal is a tactician with a mischievous grin, ready to turn any game into an epic story.”
