Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Sasikiran Krishnan, a chess force to be reckoned with and a true grandmaster stamped and certified by FIDE. Known in online circles as g3god, Sasikiran’s chess journey is nothing short of spectacular—a strategic wizard who dances with his pieces on the 64 squares as if they were part of an epic ballet where checkmate is the grand finale.

Chess Career Highlights

• Achieved a peak blitz rating of 3077 in January 2025, proving lightning-fast intuition runs in their veins.

• Commands openings ranging from the mysterious Top Secret to the classic Sicilian Defense, and an affection for tactical fights that often leave opponents scratching their heads.

Playing Style

Sasikiran is not one to resign early—only about 25% of games end in surrender—preferring a battle that can stretch over 70 moves on average for victory. Their style is a cocktail of patience and aggression, with a penchant for endgames and a strikingly good comeback rate of over 88%. Beware: when Sasikiran loses a piece, the fight is far from over (44% of the time they bounce back to win). It's like David and Goliath, but David has a grandmaster’s mindset.

Psychological Traits

Their best time to play? 7 PM sharp, when the stars align and pawns march with purpose. Although a tilt factor of 11 hints at occasional emotional rollercoasters, it’s all part of the grandmaster drama.
