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.
