Suryansh Porwal

Suryansh Porwal (aka HydrousX)

Meet Suryansh Porwal, a chess warrior whose rating climbs faster than your caffeine-fueled brain can calculate! Known online as HydrousX, Suryansh has been steadily rising through the ranks with a Blitz peak rating of 1157, Rapid at an impressive 1329, and Bullet hitting just over 1078—a triple threat that proves versatility is his middle name (well, maybe not literally, but you get the drift).

Playing Style & Strengths

With a keen tactical eye and an 82.7% comeback rate after letting a piece slip away, Suryansh is not your average chess player who throws in the towel early. Although he occasionally experiences a tilt factor of 11 (because who doesn’t?), his best time to unleash his genius is at 23:00, proving that late-night strategies might just be the secret ingredient to his success.

Suryansh’s endgames are a sight to behold, occurring in over 61% of his games, and he confidently averages about 60 moves whether winning or losing—a marathon player, not a sprinter. His games show a slight preference for white with a 51.4% win rate, but don't count him out on black; his win rate there is practically identical at 51.36%.

Opening Repertoire

If openings were flavors, Suryansh would be a gourmet sampler. He adores the Caro-Kann Defense, especially the Exchange Variation, where his win rate in Blitz soars to nearly 68%. The King’s Pawn Opening, Queen's Pawn Opening, and Van't Kruijs Opening are also among his favorite weapons, making for a diverse and challenging arsenal. Notably, Suryansh isn’t afraid to mix things up with less traditional choices like the Englund Gambit, which humorously yields a modest win rate of just ~27% — because venturing into the wild side keeps chess exciting!

Recent Battles

His latest victory reads like a textbook example of precision and aggression. Against sania2692, Suryansh (White) executed an elegant checkmate in just 24 moves in an English Opening - King's English Variation, reminding everyone that sometimes, you just need to hit fast and hard. Of course, not every battle ends in triumph—the most recent defeat was a closely fought game decided in 37 moves where careful strategic play by the opponent edged him out.
