Anurag Singh (aka hitechfuro)

Meet Anurag Singh, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Known online as hitechfuro, Anurag's chess rating has seen quite a dance, peaking at a commendable 730 in Rapid chess early in 2023—proving he can channel some serious brainpower when the stars align!

With over 700 rapid games logged, he’s no stranger to the grind: more wins than a beginner, but also more losses than a pessimist hopes for. His style could best be described as "boldly optimistic," evident from an Early Resignation Rate of almost a quarter—because why suffer indefinitely when you can bravely hit the eject button and prepare for the next battle?

Anurag’s opening repertoire is as adventurous as his win-loss record. The King’s Pawn Opening is his trusty steed, though his win rate there is a modest 45%. He also dabbles in the Scandinavian Defense and Bishop’s Opening, showing a penchant for trying to catch opponents off-guard. Interestingly, his Bullet games with the Queen’s Pawn Opening boast a perfect 100% win rate—no shame in speed chess glory!

The game clock isn’t just an enemy; it’s a partner in Anurag’s drama. His best game hours? Early evenings around 8 PM, where his win rate skyrockets to a dazzling 100% at 8 PM and 72.7% by 7 PM. Maybe it’s the post-dinner caffeine kick or just good vibes flowing.

Although Anurag may not yet be Grandmaster material (that 386 Rapid rating reminds us he’s still climbing the chess ladder), his resilience shines with a 58% comeback rate. Lose a piece? No problem, he’s still in the fight! Unfortunately, he’s experienced the heartbreak of long losing streaks, including a gnarly 14-game slide, but hey, every legend has humble beginnings and epic tales of perseverance.

Offensively, he averages nearly 40 moves per win, showing patience rather than impulsive rushes, and tends to struggle most on Mondays and weekends when inspiration is harder to find. But watch out on Fridays and Tuesdays—his win rate creeps close to 50% or more, so plan your challenges accordingly.

When Anurag wins, it’s often by resignation or checkmate—with a strong preference to seal the deal rather than dragging games to stalemate. He’s got a taste for endings that leave opponents speechless and clicking “rematch” in disbelief.

Beyond the statistics lies a player who’s fun, unpredictable, and always ready to learn. If you encounter hitechfuro online, expect battles filled with cunning moves, sudden ups and downs, and a spirit that refuses to bow down.

Curious about his latest exploits? In a recent live game, Anurag skillfully dismantled PoutyBaby with a fierce attack launched through the Ponziani Opening, forcing their resignation. Few can handle his tactical awareness at the peak of his caffeine-fueled powers!

In the world of kings and pawns, Anurag Singh reigns as a fearless gladiator, forever chasing that elusive checkmate... or at least a good meme about one.
