Profile Summary: Divya Adhikari (username: divyaf)
Meet Divya Adhikari, a fearless chess enthusiast who treats the 64 squares like a battlefield — sometimes victorious, sometimes humble, but always entertaining. With a highest Blitz rating of 710 achieved back in 2018, Divya showed early promise by jumping into the fast-paced action. These days, Divya has focused more on Rapid and Daily games, steadily climbing to a peak Rapid rating of 532 in December 2024, and hitting a Daily rating of 400 by April 2025. Not bad for someone whose average moves per win hover around 40 — a steady marathon rather than a sprint.
Divya’s favorite opening weapon is the King's Pawn Opening, boasting a solid 66.67% win rate, and flaunting a perfect 100% win rate in the King's Pawn Opening King’s Knight Variation. If the Vienna Game or Scandinavian Defense Closed show up, well... something tells us those might be practice rounds (zero wins there). Defense? Let’s just say, the Italian Game brings a mixed bag and Birds and Owens Openings seem to ruffle Divya’s feathers more than a savvy trap.
Tactical resilience is definitely part of Divya’s style — a comeback rate over 60% proves that giving up easily isn’t on the menu. However, losing pieces isn’t the end of the world; that win rate after losing a piece hovers near 30%. While Divya has a tilt factor of 9, it just means the occasional frustration fuels the next round of fierce competition.
This player clearly knows that timing is everything, being most dangerous mid-morning around 9 AM (100% win rate!) and less of a morning person at 8 AM (0% wins there — but who’s judging?). Most wins come on Sundays and Fridays, so Friday night chess parties might be a tradition — or maybe Sunday brunch with a side of checkmate.
On the psychological front, Divya prefers to face opponents of equal or lower rating, where the win rate impressively jumps to nearly 82%. Against higher-rated challengers, the struggle is real but every game is a learning experience.
Highlight Reel:
- Longest winning streak: 4 games
- Most recent victory: a swift resignation from opponent taraffu in a classic Giuoco Piano battle.
- Never gives up! With a comeback rate of 61.54%, Divya often finds clever ways to turn games around.
Divya Adhikari proves chess is not only about numbers on a rating chart but about perseverance, quirky openings, and the occasional dramatic finish. When life gives Divya pawns, Divya tries to promote them into queens — or at least make things interesting!
