Profile: Deepesh Mendiratta (deepeshmendiratta)

Deepesh Mendiratta is a chess enthusiast whose rapid rating journey reads like a suspense thriller—with more twists than a knight's tour. Starting with a promising peak rapid rating of 981 in 2023, Deepesh has navigated the ups and downs of the chess battlefield, currently holding a steady rating around 505 as of 2025.

Known for playing the mysterious "Top Secret" opening in all their rapid games (a whopping 205 matches!), Deepesh maintains a respectable win rate of almost 45% in that stealthy repertoire—because who doesn’t love a good secret weapon?

Deepesh’s record shows a highly variable but undeniably resilient player: 92 wins, 111 losses, and a couple of draws across rapid games. With an impressive longest winning streak of 8 games and a current streak of 1, Deepesh isn’t afraid to go for glory despite the odds.

Playing Style & Psychology

• Early resignation rate hovers at 12.6%—sometimes even Deepesh knows when to call it quits before the coffee spills.
• Average moves per win: about 38; average moves per loss tip slightly higher at 42, indicating battles that don’t end quickly—Deepesh fights for every pawn and square.
• White pieces bring slightly better luck with nearly 47% win rate, while black pieces still pack a punch with 42.5% wins.
• A comeback artist with a 37% comeback rate and a stellar 100% win rate after losing a piece—never count this player out!

Performance Patterns

Deepesh seems to favor chess sessions on Monday, boasting a winning rate of 67%—maybe the start of the workweek brings focus. The slowest day is Sunday, with a modest 31% win rate, perhaps reserved for daydreaming about outrunning bishops and queen forks.

Hour-wise, matches played around 13:00 and 10:00 catch Deepesh at peak performance, scoring 60% and 57% win rates respectively. Early mornings (like 5 AM) not so much—only 25% wins, which is understandable when your brain’s still in snooze mode.

Notable Opponents

Against some opponents like "marcus11600," "labaddreix," and "jarnojonas," Deepesh sports a perfect win record. On the flip side, rivals like "bessiou" and "adentoo" remain pesky challenges with zero wins so far—proving that even the best have their kryptonite.

Fun Facts

• The player can choke gracefully too—a tilt factor of 7 keeps things spicy but manageable.
• Wins consistently fall short in rated matches compared to casual games by over 55%, reminding us that Deepesh is just as human as the rest of us.

In sum, Deepesh Mendiratta is a fearless guerrilla of the chessboard: relentless, resourceful, and always up for cracking that 'Top Secret' opening code. Whether soaring with an 8-game winning streak or learning from tough losses, Deepesh shows us that chess is as much about spirit as it is about strategy.
