Pranav Sathish — The FIDE Master with a Blitzy Flair
Known online as FlashingDragon, Pranav Sathish is a FIDE Master who dances through the 64 squares with a mix of tactical wizardry and stubborn resilience. With a Blitz rating soaring up to 2589 in 2024, Pranav shows that quick thinking and faster fingers can make quite the lethal combo.
Pranav’s chess journey appears to be one of meteoric Blitz rise: starting from 2193 in early 2023 and climbing steadily without breaking a sweat. He boasts an impressive WinRate of nearly 50% in over 200 Blitz games with his secret opening moves (which are, ironically, still secret). Rapid games tell a bit more of a rollercoaster tale—starting modestly at 800 back in 2021 before leaping to over 2000 by 2022.
When it comes to style, Pranav prefers to wrestle opponents into long battles, evidenced by an average game length of around 81 moves whether winning or losing. This Night Owl of chess performs best under late hours, boasting a 59% win rate at 22:00 and a victorious 60% around 1 or 15 o'clock (yes, afternoon blitz can be a thing!).
And here’s the kicker: this player has a comeback rate nearing 93% and wins 100% of the games even after losing a piece early. So if you think scoring against Pranav gives you a free point, think again!
Pranav’s biggest enemy? The tilt factor of 5, which means even the FlashingDragon isn’t immune to the occasional facepalm moment. Still, with an overall psychological resilience, Pranav keeps striking back.
Opponents beware: Pranav performs with ferocity against many, with a perfect 100% win streak against some—and he’s not shy about securing victories with creative flair. Whether online or over the board, the Dragon’s flame burns bright.
In short: Pranav Sathish is the chess player your blitz nightmares are made of, wielding quick tactics like a dragon breathing fire and never backing down from a fight.
