Deepak Aaron (aka HaryKane) - National Master Extraordinaire

Every chessboard tells a story, but Deepak Aaron’s games read like thrilling novels packed with cunning tactics, relentless attack, and the occasional dramatic cliffhanger. Awarded the prestigious title of National Master, Deepak’s journey from humble beginnings at a 1200 rapid rating in 2011 to a blazing peak bullet rating of 2773 in early 2021 is nothing short of legendary.

Known affectionately by many as HaryKane (a name which carries the silent promise of striking as hard as the famous striker on the pitch but just with pawns and rooks), Deepak has an insatiable hunger for every format of the game — rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily — conquering them with a blend of tactical sharpness and psychological strength.

A Glimpse at the Numbers

• Rapid Win Rate: An impressive 77% over 78 games with the mysterious and oh-so-effective Top Secret opening — if Deepak is willing to reveal those moves, the chess world might never be the same.
• Blitz Battles: Over 11,000 games played! With a win rate just over 50%, it’s like tuning into a high-stakes chess soap opera with plenty of twists, turns, and surprises.
• Longest Winning Streak: 26 games in a row — Deepak probably woke up one morning and thought, “Why stop now?”

But don’t be fooled: the comeback rate sits around 77%, revealing a resilience that would make Rocky Balboa proud.

Endgames turn into personal playgrounds, with a frequency near 70%, and Deepak’s games often average around 66 moves per win or loss. That’s enough concentration to outlast a Netflix binge session and come out on top! Whether playing White or Black, winning percentages hover above 50%, proving mastery with both sides of the board.
