Profile Summary: Harshvadan_Dave

Meet Harshvadan_Dave, a chess player whose journey through the ranks is as thrilling as a well-calculated queen sacrifice—sometimes bold, occasionally unexpected, but always entertaining. Since stepping onto the virtual board in 2020, Harshvadan_Dave has played thousands of rapid, blitz, and bullet games, creating a digital trail of wins, losses, and a few lucky draws.

Rating Rollercoaster

His rapid rating oscillated between a humble 943 and a peak of 1536 in 2021, later settling in the 1100-1200 range. Blitz ratings tell a tale of persistence, hitting highs above 1000, while bullet shows a dramatic dip—perhaps a tribute to the adrenaline rush of frantically clicking in under a minute. Let's just say, bullet chess might be his version of speed dating: exciting, fast, and sometimes leaving room for improvement.

Playing Style & Psychological Insights

Harshvadan_Dave is not just about flashy openings but shines in the endgame, engaging in them over half the time. Though early resignations happen (1.6% rate), his average moves per game hint at a contemplative and stubborn streak—winning in about 55 moves but losing only slightly later around 58 moves suggests he fights to the bitter end! His comeback rate is an impressive 70.09%, and when he loses a piece, he bounces back with a perfect winning streak—a chess phoenix rising! However, with a tilt factor of 16, tilting is in the game plan too, showing that even champions sometimes grumble at their pawns.

Tactical Personality

Harshvadan_Dave’s games contain tactical surprise parties: a 100% win rate after losing a piece suggests he’s a master of turning chaos into opportunity. He clearly subscribes to the “if I’m going down, I’m taking you with me” school of chess warfare. With a longest winning streak of 15 games, this player can definitely ride the waves of success when the stars align.

Opponent Highlights

Some opponents fare better than others. Against sanjay_1666, he has a challenging 40.62% win rate, but against many others, including meanderinggeese and chvp1, he boasts perfect scores. With a network of recurring rivals, it’s evident that clashes with familiar foes add spice to his chess battles.

Fun Facts

  • Prefers the mysterious “Top Secret” openings, winning close to half his games with them!
  • Plays most games during midday (12 PM) with a win rate of 53%—maybe coffee helps.
  • Black pieces are slightly less lucky, with a 46.27% win rate vs. almost 50% with White.

Whether grinding through rapid games or blazing through bullet battles, Harshvadan_Dave embodies the true spirit of chess: a blend of strategy, resilience, and just a dash of unpredictability. Watch out—this player might just outwit you when you least expect it, especially if you’re pawning off your queen too early!
