Profile Summary: GaneshRaam
Meet GaneshRaam, the chess player who fearlessly dives into battle armed with a rating rollercoaster and a toolbox full of surprising openings. Despite having a blitz peak rating of just 506 in April 2025, GaneshRaam’s true battleground shines in rapid chess with an impressive peak rating of 1172 in December 2024 — where the true grind happens!
Known for a strategic fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening with a fair share of dashes into Scandinavian and Van t Kruijs openings, GaneshRaam mixes a cocktail of tried-and-true classics with unexpected gambits. The player's blitz win rates in some lesser-known openings like Van t Kruijs and Scandinavian Defense are a spectacular 75%, proving that unconventional can sometimes mean unstoppable.
Performance-wise, GaneshRaam boasts a respectable comeback rate of over 61% — perfect if the game's looking grim but you still believe in miracles. However, the tale is not without its pitfalls; with a tilt factor of 15, emotions sometimes sneak in and say, "Oops, not again!" But hey, who’s perfect when playing chess at breakneck speeds?
With over 600 combined wins in rapid and blitz games, and a longest winning streak of a whopping 12 games, GaneshRaam has certainly experienced the sweet taste of victory — and the occasional humble pie with a 15-game losing skid. The psychological stats hint that the early morning hours (around 5 AM) are the golden time for this player to channel their inner grandmaster or at least avoid blundering their queen away.
When it comes to playing style, GaneshRaam usually likes to engage in longer positional struggles, averaging about 50 moves per win, suggesting patience and persistence. But don't be fooled—there is a sneaky tactical flair too. Their recent wins sometimes come from winning on time (because time pressure is the real opponent) and dominating checkmates.
"I win when my opponent blinks before me," could well be GaneshRaam’s motto, especially given that many victories come via resignation or timeout rather than textbook checkmates.
