Tript Sharma (gmchikoo201) - The Chess Battler with a Tactical Flair

Meet Tript Sharma, known in the chess world and on the battlefield of boards as gmchikoo201. A player whose rating has shown the thrilling rollercoaster ride few dare to experience: peaking at a respectable 1669 in Daily chess (November 2013), a blistering 1507 in Blitz, and a quicksilver 1426 in Bullet games, all peaks achieved around mid-2015. Though not quite grandmaster material yet, Tript has carved out a niche with persistence, a clever mind, and a willingness to embrace both victory and defeat with equal passion.

Career Highlights & Playing Style

Tript’s games are a saga of resilience: a comeback rate of nearly 67% proves that losing a piece is often just a plot twist, not the final chapter. He’s a steady force in Daily matches with a notable longest winning streak hitting 5 games and, admittedly, a humbling longest losing streak of 12 games – hey, every warrior has their days! His win rates suggest he’s most comfortable picking off players rated below him (with a solid 65% win rate) but he’s always eager to learn from tougher foes.

As White, Tript scores about 43% wins, while his Black pieces wield a slightly more defensive aura at 33%. Expect a game with about 42 moves when Tript tastes victory – he’s not rushing to the finish line, but neither is he dragging his feet. His games occasionally end in early resignation (roughly 13% of the time), which we like to think is just his way of saving energy for the next challenge.

Favorite Openings and Signature Battles

Tript plays predominantly “Unknown Opening” lines – probably to keep opponents on their toes, or maybe to keep his own style a top secret! In Daily chess, this unknown plays out over 68 games with a modest 34% win rate. A glimpse at his most-played rivals – including “ravikas” and “ncxd5” – shows a fierce rivalry with fluctuating success, keeping every matchup unpredictable.

Quirky Stats & Psychological Trends

• Best time to play: 2 AM – the witching hour for the ultimate concentration or just when others are asleep and Tript takes control.
• Tilting factor: 12 – meaning when the going gets tough, sometimes the knight jumps off the board prematurely.
• Win percentages by hour and day: Sunday fun-day is less productive with a win rate of only 35%, while Tuesday and Wednesday show a spike to over 57% – maybe a midweek magic?

The Latest Dramatic Encounters

Tript’s latest victory was a classic battle of wits on June 22, 2015, against ncxd5, where he patiently maneuvered through the Closed Sicilian Defense and ultimately forced resignation in a complex position featuring deep pawn structures and tactical flair. The game lasted a tense 28 moves, ending with a beautiful queen exchange and a winning endgame.

Not every day is a win, though. Tript’s most recent defeat came just a day later, when zahitkaplann forced him to resign after a hard-fought Scandinavian Defense. Such is the life of a keen chess player, always hungry for redemption in the very next match.

Summing Up

Whether he’s blitzing through bullet rounds or grinding through daily classics, Tript Sharma’s chess journey is defined by a spirited love for the game, a knack for tactical turnarounds, and the humbling experience of losses that build character. Perfectly imperfect and never predictable – just how chess should be.
