Sandeep Sethuraman: The International Master of Mischief

Meet Sandeep Sethuraman, also known in the chess trenches as Dr_troll, an International Master who’s been silently climbing the blitz and bullet rating charts faster than a knight on a restless gallop! With a blitz peak soaring to an impressive 2788 in 2024, Sandeep shows that speed and precision go hand in hand when you’re battling the clock and your opponent’s sanity.

Not just a fast player, Sandeep boasts a bullet max rating of 2833—because apparently, moving pieces at lightning speed isn’t enough unless you do it with flair. His rapid and daily games might seem like a leisurely promenade by comparison, but don’t be fooled; he scores a solid 2400+ rapid rating and dominates daily games with a perfect 100% win rate.

Known for a staggering 89.68% comeback rate, Sandeep knows how to turn the tables when the odds are grim—losing a piece? Nearly a 99% chance he’ll still come out on top. Opponents beware: once Sandeep starts rolling, he can rack up a winning streak as long as 13 games, proving that his trolls reside not just in his username, but in his gameplay too.

His average game length clocks in at around 79 moves per win, showing a mix of tactical endurance and patience that would make even the most stoic grandmaster raise an eyebrow. Endgames are his playground, with over 82% of his games featuring an endgame—a true testament to his strategic depth.

With a white win rate of 56.02% and a black win rate just shy of 51%, Sandeep is equally comfortable initiating attacks or countering in defense. Psychologically, he has an 11 out of 100 tilt factor—which means when the going gets tough, Sandeep rarely loses his cool. But when he does, it’s so rare it might just be a blip on your opponent’s radar.

Off the board, Sandeep’s favorite openings performance is labeled “Top Secret,” likely guarded with more care than a king in the endgame. This mystery just adds to his mystique and the fun of chasing down this elusive tactician on the leaderboard.

In short, Sandeep Sethuraman is the cunning trickster of the chessboard: fast, resilient, and ever ready to comeback from the brink of defeat with a playful grin and a checkmate waiting around the corner. If you face him, prepare for a chess rollercoaster—strategic, swift, and sprinkled with just the right amount of trolling genius.
