Tript Sharma (gmchikoo2001) - The Chess Adventurer
Meet Tript Sharma, a daring tactician with a penchant for thrilling comebacks and a love-hate relationship with the 64 squares. In 2013, Tript danced across Daily, Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid boards like a curious explorer—reaching a peak rating of 1693 in Daily games and seasoning opponents with a Blitz win rate above 50%. For a player who once bravely resigned early a little over 10% of the time (because why suffer, right?), Tript’s games averaged around 58 moves to victory—plenty of time to dazzle and occasionally lose pieces but somehow still win 100% of those desperate battles.
The opening? Top Secret. Literally. Tript prefers to keep opponents guessing, averaging a modest 26-35% win rate with that mysterious style in Daily and Bullet formats, but lightning strikes in Blitz and Rapid play where the win rate jumped to an impressive 45-51%. Opponents like ravikas have often been a test, with Tript managing a respectable 38% win rate — a battle of wits with multiple encounters, one could say these two share a healthy rivalry. Against other players, Tript has a curious record of 100% win rates (or 0%—suggesting some opponents really got “chikoo-ed”).
When it comes to timing, Tript’s best moves shine on Monday mornings and evenings, boasting over 50% win rates, while weekends are a little more unpredictable—Saturday mornings bring just over 10% success, apparently reserved for experimenting or maybe perfecting deep strategizing (or just sleepiness).
Known for a “comeback king” reputation, Tript hooks opponents with a staggering 70% comeback rate and never fails to bounce back victoriously after losing a piece once in a while—flipping tables with 100% success in such situations. Tilt factor is around 13, meaning a slight emotional wobble here and there, but overall resilience remains solid.
In short, Tript Sharma is the chess player who’ll happily sacrifice a pawn, lose the queen, then somehow still have you wondering what just happened—an unpredictable, entertaining, and passionate player who’s far from done conquering the board.
