Nirish Kumar Siva Kumar - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
A chess player so devoted to the 64 squares that their Blitz and Bullet ratings flirt dangerously close to legendary status, Nirish Kumar Siva Kumar, also known by the enigmatic username dannyings83972, has earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master. This title is not handed out to just anyone – it’s given to players who combine skill, nerve, and a touch of wizardry on the chessboard.
The Ratings Rollercoaster
Since bursting onto the scene in 2021, Nirish’s Blitz rating went from a humble 965 to an astonishing peak of 2529 in 2025, despite a few dips that reminded everyone that even chess masters have off days (or maybe they binge-watch too much Netflix between moves). Bullet ratings? Even more explosive — climbing from 962 to a jaw-dropping 2671 peak, making opponents wonder if they were really playing chess or some superhuman speed-test.
Style of Play (and Swag)
- Early resignation rate: a modest 2.48% — Nirish prefers to fight, not fold like a napkin.
- Endgame frequency: a whopping 80.88% — clearly, Nirish isn’t afraid of the long haul, savoring every tense maneuver until the bitter end.
- Average moves per win: about 83 moves, proving patience is more than a virtue—it’s a weapon.
- White vs. Black win rates: White pieces bring 61.7% victories, black counters with a respectable 56.9%—talk about versatile!
Record-breaking Comebacks and Confounding Opponents
A tactical genius with a comeback rate of nearly 92%, Nirish has the nerve to bounce back from losing a piece with a perfect 100% win rate afterward. Opponents trying to rattle Nirish's composure face a psych factor nicknamed "Tilt," but with a low tilt factor of 8, Nirish keeps cool as a cucumber even under pressure.
Memorable Rivals and Win Rates
Not all enemies are created equal — some have zero chance (looking at you, polish_fighter3000 and witty_alien), while others fall victim 100% of the time (artemykhan, nikolaj_katishonok, and many more). Nirish’s secret opening book ("Top Secret") has yielded impressive win rates across all formats, with Bullet games rocking a 60.5% success rate — formidable enough to make even Magnus blink twice.
Fun Facts
- Longest winning streak: 15 games. That's basically a small marathon of checkmating.
- Most active in the wee hours with a winning hot spot at 1 AM — apparently, night owls do it best.
- Keeps pushing the limits with 650 Blitz games in 2021 alone — perhaps someone’s keyboard has a few more scars than most!
Whether blitzing through opponents or tactically outmaneuvering foes in classic endgames, Nirish Kumar Siva Kumar is a player who embodies the spirit of chess mastery — with a dash of humor, a pinch of style, and an unbeatable winning smile.
