Chess Evolution and Playing Style

Starting from a humble base in 2020 with blitz ratings around 777 and bullet near zero, Tushar’s rapid climb is nothing short of evolutionary adaptation.

With a comeback rate of over 73%, this player has a resilience that would make even the toughest amoeba blush.

Opening Gambits and Tactical Prowess

A connoisseur of the Caro-Kann Defense and Vienna Game openings in rapid play, Tushar shows his strategic genes thriving strongest there, with striking win rates of up to 76% in the Vienna Game Falkbeer Vienna Gambit, blending classic strategy with modern flair. In blitz and bullet realms, he adds a spicy Italian Game and Scandinavian Defense to his tactical DNA, proving versatility like a chameleon on the chessboard.
