Hemanthsankar: The Chess Conqueror with a Twist

Meet Hemanthsankar, a chess player whose rating graph reads like a rollercoaster in both speed and style — a true whirlwind across Blitz, Bullet, Rapid, and Daily formats. A dynamic tactician with a flair for the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and a hypnotic fondness for tricky English and Sicilian defenses, Hemanthsankar thrives under pressure and has an almost supernatural 84% comeback rate. Losing a piece? No problem — they win 99.78% of their games after that! It’s as if pieces magically reappear or timely brilliance saves what looks lost.

Rating & Records

• Peak Blitz rating neared the 2700s, a realm where chess legends lurk.
• Bullet games: hundreds played with a gutsy attitude, boasting 849 wins out of 1667.
• Rapid and Daily games exhibit strong strategic depth, with solid win rates.
• Known for endurance too — averaging nearly 70 moves per game, showing patience in every battle.

Opening Arsenal

Hemanthsankar’s openings are a delightful blend of subtlety and surprise. The Indian Game and the various flavors of the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack dominate the playbook, with a respectable near 65% win rate in key lines. Not your average 1.e4, but rather a specialist pushing the boundaries with clever positional wedges and counterattacks.

Playing Style & Personality

With 72% frequency of endgames reached, Hemanthsankar is clearly no flash-in-the-pan sprinter—this player savors the cherry of strategy, loves grinding opponents down, and flourishes in long duels. Yet don’t mistake patience for passivity: an early resignation rate of only about 2% hints that giving up is simply not in the vocabulary. When it’s crunch time, expect some serious mental gymnastic.

Psychologically, a tilt factor of 11 suggests occasional emotional rollercoasters, but with a history of spectacular comebacks, they’ve learned to turn the dark storms into fierce comebacks. And while their best time to play remains a mystery, Sunday and Friday have been historically fruitful days for their victories.

In fact, their win rate after losing a piece is so close to perfect it could be computer-assisted… or just plain genius.
