Deadeye10: The Online Blitz Titan
Aryan Chopra, known to the internet as Deadeye10, is an Indian FIDE Grandmaster with a simple philosophy: why play slow when you can play fast? While he is no stranger to rapid and bullet chess, his true home is the blitz board. His online Blitz rating has climbed all the way to 3027, putting him in the rarefied air of the world's sharpest speed chess operators.
His journey on the platform spans from 2017, when he was already flashing 2265 in Blitz, through 2021, a year of rapid growth up to 2784, and then the great leap: past 2800, past 2900, and finally past 3000 in early 2026.

Deadeye10 rarely gives his opponents easy exits. His early resignation rate sits at just 1.75 percent, and his comeback rate is a staggering 88.1 percent. Even after losing a piece, he converts as often as 51.39 percent of the time, which makes him the chess equivalent of the horror movie villain who just will not stay down.
- Average winning game length: nearly 90 moves. He likes to squeeze.
- Average losing game length: around 84 moves. He makes you work for it.
- Longest winning streak: 9 straight wins. Longest losing streak: 7, followed by recovery.
One quirk: his most common checking piece is the rook. Queens get all the headlines, but Aryan's rooks do the heavy lifting, accounting for more checks than any other piece across his 240 analyzed games.
Opening Preferences
With the white pieces, Aryan favors flexible, setup-based play. He frequently opens with Nf3 and builds a King's Indian Attack, a setup that has earned him a sparkling 83.33 percent win rate in blitz. He has also dabbled in the Catalan, the English, and just about every sensible way to reach the middle game.
With black, he is a loyal soldier of classical defenses. The Philidor Defense is his most played line, with 17 blitz games, an 11 to 1 win-loss record, and a 64.71 percent score. The Czech Defense is another favorite, and he has navigated it to 7 wins in 13 blitz outings. He also scores 87.5 percent from the King's Indian Defense Orthodox Variation.
