Sohan Phadke - The FIDE Master with a Flair for Top Secret Openings
Meet Sohan Phadke, also known online as gandeevdhari, a FIDE Master whose chess journey is as intriguing as a well-kept secret opening! Known for a tactical genius hidden behind a calm demeanor, Sohan has dazzled opponents across Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet formats with a blend of strategic patience and explosive finishes.
With a peak Rapid rating of 2416 achieved in 2019, Sohan proves that patience pays off: boasting a winning rate of nearly 69% in their "Top Secret" Rapid openings, this player can turn the board into a battlefield before you even realize what hit you. And if you thought Bullet ratings were just a blur, Sohan's steady improvement from 1533 to 1752 shows steady resilience—even if the Bullet win rate hovers around a humble 44.4%.
Sohan's Blitz performances are nothing short of spectacular, with an impressive 88% win rate in "Top Secret" openings and a top rating of 2362. Known for playing an average of about 52 moves in wins (long enough to brew a strong cup of coffee), they combine endurance with tactical prowess.
When it comes to streaks, Sohan has a legendary longest winning streak of 14 games. Talk about a hot streak! And don’t be fooled by the occasional losses — after losing a piece, Sohan’s comeback rate is a staggering 68.75%, and remarkable 100% win rate after losing material, which means surrender is not in their vocabulary.
Their psychological game is just as strong, with a low tilt factor of 4, proving they keep cool even when the pressure mounts. Sohan shines brightest on Thursdays and Mondays with win rates above 80%, and quite charmingly, appears to be a morning person with 100% win rates at 11 AM, 15 PM, and 16 PM — proving that mornings really do have magic for this chess master.
Known opponents beware: with an 85.7% win rate against laibharri64 and an astonishing 92.3% against sankhla70, Sohan turns rivalries into almost guaranteed victories. And if you’re danieldontdab, prepare for a 100% loss record!
Whether it’s commanding the board with White or defending resolutely with Black, Sohan Phadke plays with a master’s touch and a bit of cheeky brilliance. Expect the unexpected—and maybe a few laughs along the way.
