Anand Raj: The Relentless Bullet Blitzer
Meet Anand Raj, known in the chess realms as icookfood—a player whose rating history reads like the plot of a gripping thriller. Starting from humble beginnings in 2013 with a bullet rating that flirted around 700, Anand's journey has been a rollercoaster of wins, losses, and those rare, glorious draws (because who likes draws, really?).
Chess Career Highlights
- Peak Bullet Rating: 1369 (May 2025) – proving that slow and steady isn’t the style here; it's all about blitz and bullet mayhem!
- Peak Blitz Rating: 1520 back in 2013 – a legend rightly remembered for lightning-fast moves.
- Peak Rapid Rating: 1252 in June 2013 – rapid enough to keep the opponent's head spinning.
Playing Style and Statistics
Anand approaches the game with a daring blend of calculated offense and cheeky resilience. With a comeback rate above 81%, it's safe to say Anand never gives up—even when the queen takes a stroll in the park, Anand is plotting the comeback with ninja-like tactical awareness.
He tends to keep the games exciting and full-length, averaging about 55 moves per win and even more in losses—because what's better than a marathon game? Chess cardio!
Favorite Openings (and those love-hate relationships)
- Queen's Pawn Opening: Anand’s bread and butter with a respectable 52.7% win rate, proving that queens are his best friends.
- King's Pawn Opening: A slightly more balanced affair with a near 50% win rate—sometimes you gotta dance with the devil!
- Pirc Defense & Other Quirks: Brave enough to tango with risky lines, even if the win rate hovers just below 50%.
Gaming Streaks and Psychological Traits
Longest winning streak? An impressive 26 games!
Longest losing streak? Also 26 games. Yep, Anand knows the full emotional spectrum of chess—from ecstatic highs to "why did I do that?" lows.
His “tilt factor” stands robust at 26, which means though the flame flickers, the fire burns on. The best time to watch Anand in action? Bright and early at 5 AM, when the mind is fresh and the bullet speed is blistering.
Recent Battles
In one recent mega-clash, Anand’s bullet game shined like a supernova as he outwitted inappropriateuser938543 with a wild, tactical fireworks display all the way until winning on time. The King’s Pawn Opening got a spicy twist with Anand deploying an unexpected h5 early on, confusing foes and friends alike.
But no legend goes undefeated; recently, Anand also learned humility at the hands of Bozkurt311 in a time scramble loss. The never-say-die attitude holds firm.
Fun Facts
- Started from “is that even a chess move?” to defeating opponents with crazy gambits like the Englund Gambit.
- Wins as Black vs. White: 47.31% to 51.57%, so he’s a tiny bit better with the advantage of the first move – but happier when catching opponents off-guard playing Black!
- Resignation rate is humorous: Anand is no quitter, finishing most battles unless checkmated or blitzed!
- Average games in a month can surpass 1000—this is not a player who idles, it's a chess machine running on caffeine and sheer willpower.
So, if you ever face Anand Raj in a bullet game, buckle up—it’s going to be a ride filled with tactical shots, unexpected blunders (on both sides), and plenty of thrills. Whether he’s cooking up a new strategy or just jokingly threatening “I cook food” on and off the board, Anand’s chess journey is one to watch—and maybe to learn from (or lose to spectacularly).
