Known online as garwitty, Garvit is a rapid player with a peak rating of 927—which might not be grandmaster level yet, but hey, at least it's higher than a rook trapped in the corner.

Starting his ascent in 2021 like a pawn bravely marching forward, Garvit’s games are filled with a mixture of cunning strategies and occasional daring gambits that keep opponents on their toes. His favorite battlefield? Rapid time controls, where he has clocked over 500 wins — and yes, he has suffered some losses too, but every chess warrior has their scar stories.

His opening repertoire is quite eclectic: from the well-trodden King’s Pawn Opening with a nearly 47% win rate, to the ever-tricky Philidor Defense boasting an impressive almost 70% win rate! Not to mention his love for the Caro-Kann Defense, where he delivered a recent checkmate in style with 30 moves of strategic brilliance. (If there was a trophy for perseverance, Garvit would have won it—his comeback rate is a stunning 76%!)

Whether it’s fighting it out in Bullet, Blitz, or Rapid, Garvit’s win-loss ratio hovers close to even, which basically proves he’s the ultimate daredevil of the chessboard, willing to swing for the fences every game. Opponents beware: he isn’t afraid to mix solid defenses with sneaky attacks.
