Neeraj-Kumar Mishra (IMmishrank) - International Master Extraordinaire

Neeraj-Kumar Mishra, known online as IMmishrank, is an International Master of chess, a title that proves they’re just a few moves away from Grandmaster glory. Their Blitz rating peaked impressively at 2336 in September 2020, showcasing their lightning-fast tactical prowess and sharp strategic mind.

About the Player

With a knack for outwitting opponents in rapid-fire games, Neeraj-Kumar likes their chess like their coffee: quick, strong, and with just the right amount of complexity. They boast a respectable win rate of around 57% in Blitz games, and have never been shy to press an advantage to victory — as evidenced by their zero early resignation rate. Surrender is not in their vocabulary, unless it’s after a stunning checkmate delivered by your own two hands.

Style & Strategy

A patient endgame specialist, Neeraj-Kumar plays long games with an average of 70+ moves per victory — proving that slow and steady often wins the race, or at least the king. Their White pieces yield a winning rate north of 61%, while their Black pieces still command respect with a solid 53% win rate. If you lose a piece against them, don’t worry too much; their comeback rate is a staggering 85%, turning games around with tactical awareness that could make even a queen blush.

Psychology of a Champion

Neeraj-Kumar knows the importance of timing: their absolute prime time to play is 4 PM, when their win rate hits a perfect 100% (may the chess clocks be blessed). However, Tuesdays are apparently their lucky day too, with an 85% victory rate, while Fridays seem to be a bit tricky with just 25%. Everyone has an off day, right?

Opponent Tidbits

They especially shine against players like rex893 and kabanos6948, against whom Neeraj-Kumar holds a flawless 100% win record. Some opponents, though, like sidvenkat and myinthan1962, present a tougher puzzle — but hey, every hero needs a worthy nemesis to keep things interesting.

Notable Games

One memorable victory was on October 10, 2020, where Neeraj-Kumar wielded the King's Indian Defense with finesse, forcing a resignation in just 21 moves against glorea1959. In another brisk battle the same day, they toppling Papa_Chess_64 with precise positional play. Even in losses, like the one against Papa_Chess_64, their resilience and fighting spirit were evident — they never go down without a fight.

Fun Fact

If chess were an Olympic sport, Neeraj-Kumar’s current winning streak of 7 games would probably earn them a gold medal for mental stamina. Their longest losing streak is also only 6, which proves that if at first you don’t succeed, reload your opening book and try again!

Keep an eye on IMmishrank: they are a player who combines strategy, speed, and a pinch of whimsy — all destined for checkmate and chess fame.
