Ganesh N (username: ganesh2161)

Meet Ganesh, a formidable chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster—with all the ups, downs, and sideways twists that make the game magical. Known for his preferred time control of Blitz, Ganesh has mastered the art of thinking fast, often sacrificing precious sleep minutes for brilliant moves.

Rating Highlights

  • Peak Blitz Rating: 1132 (February 2018)
  • Peak Rapid Rating: 1156 (January 2015)
  • Peak Bullet Rating: 1140 (May 2017)
  • Peak Daily Rating: 400 (April 2021) – because who isn’t a fan of a good slow burn?

Playing Style & Personality

Ganesh plays with a tactical awareness that keeps opponents on their toes—making comebacks over 60% of the time after being down! His psychological resilience is equally noteworthy, with a tilt factor of 66, proving that like any serious gamer, he knows when to laugh at his own blunders before refocusing for the next battlefield.

His average game length shows a love for deep position battles, pushing games upwards of 60 moves when winning. However, once the dust settles, he’s not one to shy away from a quick surrender either, with an early resignation rate near 9%; because why prolong the agony against a chaos-loving opponent?

Favourite Openings

Ganesh shows particular affection for the King's Fianchetto Opening, playing it over 1300 times in Blitz with a near 50% win rate—a respectable record that suggests he’s more strategic cat than tactical mouse.

Other notable inclusions are the Owens Defense and Saragossa Opening, with varying success, proving Ganesh enjoys variety—sometimes to his detriment, but mostly to his flair.

Noteworthy Statistics

  • Total Wins in Blitz: 3438
  • Total Losses in Blitz: 3994 (Don’t ask, it’s just part of the game!)
  • Longest winning streak: A sturdy 12 games
  • Longest losing streak: A humbling 66 games (hey, everyone has those days!)
  • Current winning streak: 1 (Why not build on it?)

Recent Highs & Lows

Just in: Ganesh clutched a win against boboshiesty on June 5, 2025, using his signature King’s Fianchetto Opening. A classy finish with a resignation victory—proof that sometimes the best checkmate is the one you don’t have to earn on the board.

However, lurking nearby is barasit, who handed Ganesh a recent loss on June 1, 2025—reminding everyone that in chess (and life!), humility keeps you sharp.

Fun Fact

Ganesh’s all-time favorite move? Starting every epic game with a 1. g3 - because it’s the subtle way of saying, “Get ready for some fianchettoed fun!”.
