Meet Udbhav Reddy Padala, known in the chess realm as fibolt, a competitor whose journey from humble beginnings to merciless endgame tactics is as thrilling as a roller coaster ride through a grandmaster's brain. Starting with a modest rapid rating of just over 200 in 2021, Udbhav has admirably clawed his way up the ranks, achieving a peak rapid rating of 753 in March 2025, blitzing his way to a blitz peak of 788, and even dabbling in bullet with a peak of 661.
Playing Style: A Mix of Patience and Tactical Savvy
With an average of about 51 moves per win and 45 moves per loss, Udbhav prefers battles that test stamina and patience rather than quick-fire skirmishes.

There's a swagger in how he often bounces back from losing a piece, winning nearly 45% of such nerve-wracking moments. But watch out—occasionally, the tilt factor of 10 reminds us he's human and loses his cool once in a while.
