Deven Goswami (aka Deven108) - Chess Adventurer Extraordinaire

Meet Deven Goswami, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as thrilling as a roller-coaster ride with occasional loop-de-loops! With a blitz rating dance from a high of 697 in 2021 to a resilient 410 by 2025, Deven shows he’s no stranger to challenges—and neither is his mouse.

Playing rapid chess like a weekend warrior with a rapid max rating peak of 1020 (hello, moment of glory in 2021!), Deven has logged hundreds of games, striking a balanced win-loss record that says, “I play to win, but I also play to learn…and have fun.” Bullet games? Oh yes, with a max at 613, he zips through them like caffeine on a Monday morning.

Deven’s style is a mix of patience and surprise — an average of 51 moves per winning game suggests battles longer than some Netflix series, yet an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece reveals the heart of a true fighter. Maybe that’s why his comeback rate stands proudly at nearly 62%!

Psychological pressures? Deven’s tilt factor is a modest 9 out of 100, showing he keeps cool even when the chess gods aren’t smiling. Though early resignations pepper about 17% of his games, this might just be him playing the “strategic retreat” card.

His opening repertoire remains shrouded in mystery—simply "Top Secret"—but those nearly 850 blitz games playing it have almost a 47% win rate, which is not too shabby in any secret agent’s book. When wielding the white pieces, he edges out victories a bit more often (50.79%) than with black (44.67%), confirming the age-old chess adage: white generally steps first, and Deven makes that count.

Favorite opponents? With some perfect win records against names like “pawan_099z” and “luluksusi,” Deven clearly knows when to turn on the charm—and the checkmate!

When asked about the best time to face him, beware if it’s at 11 AM or 3 AM—his win rates soar above 55% in those hours. Maybe early caffeine or late-night brilliance? Who knows!

In short, Deven108 is a player who loves the game’s beautiful struggle, embraces ups and downs, and keeps battling with a grin. Whether you’re a grandmaster or your cat, his chess story is one of persistence, humor, and maybe a little bit of madness. After all, what’s chess without a little spice?
