Abhijeet Verma - The Chess Maverick Known as "Eingelgnger"

Abhijeet Verma, also known by his enigmatic username Eingelgnger, is a chess player whose journey is as intriguing as his games. Emerging into the chess scene around 2020, Abhijeet quickly made a name for himself with a blend of tactical brilliance, stubborn grit, and a sprinkle of unpredictability.

Rating Journey & Achievements

Starting off at a humble rating hovering around 1300 in bullet and blitz formats, Abhijeet's rapid improvement has been nothing short of spectacular. His peak ratings stand tall at 1991 in Blitz (March 2024), 2036 in Bullet (May 2025), and a striking 2042 in Rapid (November 2022). Not bad for a guy who probably loses his queen occasionally but somehow pulls a rabbit out of his chess hat!

Over the years, Abhijeet has amassed staggering game counts and wins: over 11,000 wins in bullet games with a nearly even score against losses—a true grinder of the 64 squares. His blitz win rate hovers near 50%, proving he can outplay or outlast even his most persistent foes. And if you care for daily chess, his limited but flawless win record shows he can also take it slow and classy when needed.

Playing Style: The Duelist with a Heart

Abhijeet’s games are marathon endurance tests, often stretching beyond 70 moves. He favors complex endgames, with an 80.7% frequency of fighting until the very end. Early resignations are rare (about 1.44%), which means he hates quitting more than losing his keys—he fights on, even when the pawns threaten to become queens of chaos.

His tactical awareness is formidable, boasting an impressive 84.27% comeback rate after being in a losing position. Opponents beware: Abhijeet is the chess equivalent of a phoenix, rising from the ashes with sharp maneuvers and killer instincts. However, even he occasionally becomes human with a tilt factor of 13—luckily, not too often to spoil the fun.

Favorite Openings and Chess Girlfriends

When it comes to openings, Abhijeet shows a marked preference towards the Sicilian Defense and the Old Benoni Defense, especially in its scarier variations like the Bowdler Attack. It's as if he enjoys playing chess with a bit of spice and a dash of unpredictability. Though his win rates vary across openings, his versatility is unquestionable.
