Arjun Vishnuvardhan - International Master of the 64 Squares

Arjun Vishnuvardhan, known online as imarjunv, is an International Master whose chess journey reads like a thrilling saga of tactical wizardry and laser-focused endgame mastery. From his humble Rapid beginnings at 1200 in 2014 to soaring Bullet ratings approaching an astonishing 2786 in 2023, Arjun has proven he’s as quick on the clock as he is sharp on the board.

With a Bullet win rate exceeding 56%, a Blitz success rate near 60%, and an almost victorious 76% in Daily games, Arjun’s consistency is the stuff of legends. Opponents beware: this is a player who maintains a nearly 90% comeback rate, somehow turning the tables even when down a piece. Clearly, resigning early is not in Arjun’s playbook—less than 1% of the time, he throws in the towel early. Instead, he grinds through long battles, averaging 76 moves per win, proving stamina and patience win matches.

Arjun’s style is a blend of endurance and tactical brilliance, often shining brightest in endgames, which he frequents more than 83% of his games. When life hands him a losing piece, he storms back with a spotless 100% win record—a fact that would make even the toughest grandmasters nod in respect.

His longest winning streak is an epic 29 games, with a current streak of 2 victories reminding everyone he’s ready for the next challenge. Adored (and feared) by many opponents, Arjun’s leaderboard features fierce rivals like legendarydante and john1gold, as well as a curious delightfully secret opening repertoire simply dubbed “Top Secret” which nets him wins at unbeatable rates across all time formats.

Battle-tested throughout all hours and days, Arjun’s best performance hours hover in the early morning, where his win rate peaks above 60%, and Fridays are his favored day with nearly 60% wins. Perhaps a quiet morning cup of tea and a chessboard is his secret sauce.

In summary, Arjun Vishnuvardhan is a chess warrior who refuses to give up, relishes complex endgames, and strikes fast in bullet time. Whether you know him as Arjun or imarjunv, be warned: in the heat of a match, he's the opponent who will outlast, outthink, and outplay you, all with a wink and a winning smile.
