Vishnu Gaddam

Profile of Vishnu Gaddam (evamsamielvishnu)

Meet Vishnu Gaddam, a rapidly rising chess enthusiast with a flair for complicated openings and dramatic finishes. Despite a somewhat mercurial rating history, Vishnu demonstrates a playful resilience that both confounds opponents and charms onlookers.

Rating and Stats

• Peak Rapid Rating: 800 (May 2025) — Yes, you read that right! This peak signals a promising future (or maybe a punchline in the making).
• Current Rapid Rating: 357 (June 2025), showing a fearless willingness to tangle with all challengers.
• Daily Rating: A perfect 800 (June 2025) — undefeated in a charming single daily game that basically says, "I got this."
• Bullet Rating: 297 (May 2025) — quick on the draw, but sometimes the speed demons get the better of Vishnu.

Playing Style & Tendencies

Vishnu’s games average around 39 moves for a win — giving chess drama a proper stage. Black pieces win rate is nearly 48%, so he’s just as dangerous defending as attacking. A tilt factor of 8 means sometimes the chess gods get the better of him, but hey, who doesn’t throw a little tantrum when being checkmated spectacularly?

With a 16% early resignation rate, Vishnu isn’t shy about conceding when the stars align against him — but watch out, because a 43% comeback rate reveals an indomitable spirit that will often claw his way back from the brink.

Openings Arsenal

Vishnu loves the classic King's Pawn Opening, boasting an impressive near 59% win rate there across 78 games! Favorites also include tricky lines like the Leonardis Variation (where he shines with a 71% win rate) and the Queen's Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense (winning two thirds of his encounters). The Scandinavian Defense occasionally spices things up, even if the win rate sits just below 45%.

Fun fact: Vishnu's most victorious opponents include navinahmed and 3tkhs9, both leaving the board in defeat 100% of the time. Others, like thierrykommetjie, unfortunately serve as his kryptonite with no wins yet to show.

Memorable Games

Recently, Vishnu dazzled with a lightning victory against navinahmed, finishing with a swift and elegant checkmate involving a queen's sneak attack on g7. Another masterpiece saw him outwit 3tkhs9 using the Van ‘t Kruijs Opening, culminating in a dramatic Rh8# smothered mate.

Not all fairy tales end in triumph, however — the elusive thierrykommetjie managed to snatch a win off Vishnu on time, reminding all that even the best players occasionally run out of clock (and patience).

Chess Personality

Beyond the numbers, Vishnu is a player who values cunning tactics over brute strength. Often striking at unexpected hours, particularly shining at 4 AM, he exhibits a nocturnal brilliance that can catch opponents napping — literally or figuratively.

With a playing style that mixes a calculated endgame frequency (about a third of games) with an aggressive approach to openings, he’s a true chess experimenter... occasionally at the mercy of timeouts but always ready to come back swinging.

In Summary

Vishnu Gaddam (evamsamielvishnu) is a captivating, tenacious chess competitor who embraces both victory and defeat with a grin. His journey through the chess ranks is peppered with bold gambits and funny missteps, painting the portrait of a player who’s here not just to win — but to have an awesome time doing so.
