Prashant Shrestha - The HEHEcv Chronicles
Meet Prashant Shrestha, known in chess circles (and probably on a few leaderboards) as HEHEcv. A player whose journey through the 64 squares is a rollercoaster of brilliant wins, learning losses, and more than a pinch of humor. With a peak rapid rating of 582 (July 2024) and an impressive blitz peak at 547 (May 2025), Prashant shows that while rapid-fire strategy is his playground, blitz battles are where he occasionally drops a mic.
Playing Style & Stats
Prashant's love for the King’s Pawn Opening shines through his 58 rapid games in it, boasting a respectable 53.45% win rate. But don’t be fooled—he also braces the wild side with openings like the Alekhine’s Defense, rocking a surprising 80% win rate in 5 games. And if you thought Prashant played it safe, his trusty Van ’t Kruijs Opening shows he’s bold with a stellar 75% win rate. In blitz, though, it's all kings’ pawns all the way: 1 game, 1 win—classic perfection.
Tactical Wizardry & Psychological Insights
Known for a comeback rate of 76.61%, Prashant has a knack for clawing his way back when the chips are down. He handles adversity like a champ, winning almost half the time after losing a piece, proving that it's not over until the king is cornered. Although an early resignation rate hovering around 13% might suggest he knows when to cut his losses, his average moves per win hover around 53, hinting that when he's on, he enjoys the long, tactical dance.
His psychological tilt factor is low (5), meaning HEHEcv stays cool under fire—unless it’s Sunday, when his win rate dips to a humbling 25%. Maybe Sundays are for knitting, not checkmates.
Memorable Battles & Rivalries
The opponents list reads like a who's-who of the online battlefield: multiple matches against hannibal765 and jay_mist007 show intense rivalries, with a 66.67% win rate against the former and a tougher go against the latter. Invitations for rematches pending! His most recent thrilling win was a masterstroke of patience and precision, ending in a checkmate after careful maneuvering of bishops, knights, and a sneaky rook at this game. Unfortunately, not every day is a victory parade—his latest loss against guerramatheus21 showed that even HEHEcv isn’t immune to brutal endgames.
