Pälläb Chöüdhüry (username: hrcaysha)
Meet Pälläb Chöüdhüry, a rapid-fire striker in the world of chess whose rating journey reads like a rollercoaster through the peaks and valleys of strategic brilliance and tenacious come-backs. With a peak rapid rating crossing the 1000 mark in May 2025 and a daily chess zenith of 1024 (achieved in late 2024), Pälläb is no stranger to the thrill of the chase — both chasing wins and nimble escapes from defeat.
Known for a chess style that favors long, thoughtful battles (the average win stretches over 65 moves!), Pälläb thrives in the endgame, with over 63% game endings arriving there. His psychological stamina is commendable, boasting a comeback rate near 73% — proving that he never gives up, even if the odds (or the pawns) are stacked against him.
Pälläb’s opening repertoire is a whimsical mix of classics and surprising choices. The Philidor Defense is his go-to weapon, though it cheekily gives him less than a 44% win rate — guess it's his nemesis and muse! When he’s feeling confident, the Leonardis Variation of the King's Pawn Opening turns into a personal playground where he wins nearly 70% of the time. And if you catch him in daily chess, better watch out for his unstoppable French-like specials — perfect win rates on intricate lines like the Pirc and Accelerated London System suggest he's got a few secrets up his sleeve.
His play patterns reveal a preference for late moves and calculated execution, engaging in battles that challenge both patience and nerves. Though he isn't the quickest to quit (early resignation rate under 3%), Pälläb knows how to psychologically tilt the scales, keeping opponents guessing with a tilt factor of 8 — a little hint that his fierce competitiveness sometimes spills over.
Across various formats, hrcaysha keeps a balanced game: slightly better at black pieces (50.19% win rate) than white, and a lovely record in daily games with rare losses and many glorious wins. However, blitz and bullet remain his quirky playgrounds, less consistent but plenty of fun — after all, who doesn't enjoy a few rapid fire blunders every now and then?
Off the board, Pälläb enjoys the social thrill of the game, holding his own against favorites like sarim_loves_chess (winning over 70% of encounters) while having fun with adversaries both fierce and friendly. Notably, he has a streaky nature evidenced by a longest winning streak of 10 games and his ability to bounce back after tough losses.

In a nutshell, Pälläb Chöüdhüry (aka hrcaysha) is a player who blends strategic depth with a dash of unpredictability, always ready to dance on the 64 squares with wit, skill, and the occasional cheeky grin. Whether you face him over rapid time controls or a leisurely daily game, expect a game well fought — and perhaps a lesson or two in resilience.
