Meet Anurag Tiwari
Anurag Tiwari, known on the clock as disturbingchess, is a streamer with a fitting username. His Blitz rating once sat at 399 in September 2023. By July 2026 he had reached a peak of 2159 (2026-07-17). That is a climb powered by an absurd number of games and a clear refusal to sleep.
His profile lists Daily as his preferred time control, and he keeps a perfect no-draw record in Daily play. But the numbers say he lives in the fast lanes too.
shows the full chaotic ride.Openings and Signature Moves
If you want to understand Anurag, start with the Caro-Kann Defense. He has played it more than 1,800 times in Blitz alone, winning roughly 61% of those games. He uses the Scandinavian Defense as a practical weapon, and as White he loves the aggressive Vienna Gambit, with Max Lange Defense. Opponents have also tried to shock him with the London Poisoned Pawn Variation, and he has handled it well.
He is not afraid of the strange side of the board. The Amazon Attack, Australian Defense, and Amar Gambit all show up in his games. A typical Vienna Gambit from his world might look like this:
Friendly Rivalries
No chess journey is complete without rivals. Anurag has faced aniket_901 80 times, holding a commanding 49-28-3 record. He and henryknights have a genuine rivalry, with Henry leading 25-19-5. And thesicilianviraj has been a real thorn, beating him 19 times in 33 meetings. These recurring battles show that Anurag thrives on repetition, even when the repetition is a painful loss.
Fighting Spirit
- His comeback rate is 81.66%, meaning he refuses to go quietly.
- He wins 55.53% of games after losing a piece, which is practically a superpower.
- His longest winning streak is 23 games, though he also survived a 14-game losing streak.
- He scores slightly better with White at 59.02% than Black at 58.28%.
- If you face him at 1:00 AM, run. That is his best time of day.
The Daily Grind
Despite all the Blitz and Bullet chaos, Anurag's preferred time control is Daily. It gives him time to think, to prepare, and to torture opponents slowly. His Daily rating climbed to 1228 (2026-02-27), and he has never drawn a Daily game in the tracked period. That is commitment. That is disturbing. That is Anurag Tiwari.
