Profile Summary: Sourav Joshi (happybirthday11102007)
Meet Sourav Joshi, an ambitious rapid and bullet chess player who battles it out on the 64 squares with the tenacity of a caffeinated knight. Starting his rated journey in 2022 with a rapid rating fluctuating between 576 and 935, Sourav has had an adventurous climb — and occasional tumble — through the ranks.
Sourav's rapid chess story is a rollercoaster: after a modest start, he played a whopping 461 games in 2023 alone, winning 151 and drawing 79. His win rate hovers around a respectable 33% in rapid chess when wielding his favorite Top Secret opening, though in bullet, well... let’s just say patience is more of a virtue than his bullet rating suggests.
Don’t let the numbers fool you — this player’s tactical awareness is fearsome. Sourav boasts an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving he’s the comeback kid every opponent dreads. He also holds a longest winning streak of 8 games, showing flashes of brilliance that might make chess fans theorize that he's secretly possessed by the spirit of a grandmaster... or at least someone who binge-watches chess tutorials religiously.
However, there’s a human side too. Sourav’s "tilt factor" stands at 14%, indicating he occasionally lets frustration slip in — perhaps when a well-planned gambit meets an unexpected trap. He’s known to start games with a bold opening, but occasionally early resignations (7.36%) suggest he’s no stranger to admitting defeat gracefully, or maybe just knows when to save brain juice for the next battle.
Aside from raw stats, Sourav enjoys testing his mastery throughout the week, with Tuesdays (40.7% win rate) being his lucky day, and an uncanny perfect 100% win rate at 1 AM — perhaps a secret nocturnal chess genius? Whether playing as white or black, his win rates are neck-and-neck, hovering close to 33%, reflecting a well-rounded steadiness in all colors.
A fierce competitor against familiar foes, Sourav has squared off most against happieebday165 times, holding a 28% win rate — proof that even rivals bring out the best moves. Against lesser-known opponents, his win rates often hit 100%, suggesting he knows how to capitalize on opportunities (and maybe how to Google openings mid-game).
In the world of chess, Sourav Joshi is proof that persistence, quirky resilience, and a touch of whimsy make every game worth watching.
