Kavin Venkatesan - FIDE Master & Chess Aficionado

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a tactician named Kavin Venkatesan, proudly carrying the prestigious title of FIDE Master. While Kavin's enemies might call them Dubs123 online, their prowess is no joke.

Rating Odyssey

Starting modestly with a Blitz rating near 1200 in 2017, Kavin quickly climbed the ranks like a knight on a fearless quest, reaching a peak Blitz rating of 2565 by 2025! That’s right, they’ve blitzed past milestones faster than anyone could shout “Check!” Bullet time? Even more impressive, with ratings soaring up to a terrifying 2692 in 2024.

Playing Styles & Strengths

  • White pieces favor: Winning over 55% of games – clearly, the first move advantage works best for them.
  • Black pieces aren't safe either: Kavin rakes in over 51% wins even when going second.
  • Psychological resilience: Comeback artist alert! Kavin boasts a stunning ~80% comeback rate and wins almost 99% of the games even after losing a piece.
  • Endgame wizard: Playing deep, long battles - with average moves per win at 66 and even more moves per loss.

A Grandmaster of Win Streaks

The longest winning streak of this chess gladiator? A jaw-dropping 24 victories in a row! Although the current streak has cooled a bit, the fire of strategy burns strong.

Favorite Opponents & Rivalries

Kavin has tangled multiple times with players like ulysees, benecyrill, and scarlet_fate, showing dominant performances and not shying from a challenge. Win rates against many recent opponents keep spectators on the edge of their seats.

Off the Board

Besides crushing pawns and kings, Kavin’s chess style is characterized by a 6% early resignation rate which means they almost never quit early – stubborn like a pawn marching to promotion. Strategic, patient, and sometimes a little cheeky, Kavin keeps opponents guessing and fans smiling.

The Final Word

Whether it's classic Daily games, rapid-fire Bullet, or adrenaline-pumping Blitz, Kavin Venkatesan makes every move count. Their chess journey is a magnificent story of perseverance, tactical brilliance, and a sprinkle of chessboard wizardry.

So next time you sit across from them, remember: every piece might just be part of their next legendary tale.
