Gaurav Pathak: The Relentless Chess Warrior

Known in the chess realms as a steadfast competitor (and sometimes a “Top Secret” mystery), Gaurav Pathak has carved out a niche that’s both impressive and, dare we say, a little bit quirky.

A Journey of Ratings and Rises

Beginning humbly with a rapid rating of 171 in 2022, Gaurav did not let a few early losses discourage him (we’re looking at that 6 wins vs. 37 losses ratio). Instead, like a true strategic mastermind, he climbed steadily to a 2025 rapid peak of 878, closing in on 900 points and showing a persistent rise that rivals the underdog stories of cinema.

Fast on his feet in bullet and blitz games, Gaurav’s blitz rating skyrocketed to an awe-inspiring 961 by 2025, suggesting lightning-fast reflexes and perhaps an affinity for caffeine-fueled rapid-fire moves.

Style and Psyche

Gaurav’s games are known for their endurance and thoughtfulness, with an astoundingly high average of 54 moves per win. Patient, strategic, and always playing the long game, he’s managed a comeback rate of nearly 61% — meaning when the odds are against him, he’s the one who laughs last.

Interestingly, he has a bit of a tilt factor (17%), which gives him a very human touch—after all, even champions have their “Oh no, not again!” moments. His early resignation rate is just under 12%, because sometimes “hope springs eternal” is a solid chess motto.

Opponent Showdowns & Rivalries

With thousands of rapid games logged, Gaurav’s top opponents include the likes of lucifer1000001 and bhanu124. Funny enough, while he’s got a 100% win rate against some players, others seem to have struck his kryptonite with less kind outcomes. But hey, no one’s perfect—not even Gaurav’s chessboard kingdom.

A Chess Romantic With a Tactical Edge

Gaurav’s tactics are nothing if not daring: he boasts a 100% win rate even after losing a piece. Clearly, losing material in his games doesn’t mean losing the battle! Expect unexpected twists—this player’s on a mission to turn the tables when you least expect it.

When Does Gaurav Play?

Strategically sharpening his skills when most humans are still waking up or winding down, Gaurav’s best win rates occur at 10am and 5pm, with a surprising peak at midnight showing he might just moonlight as a chess ninja.

Final Thoughts

Gaurav Pathak isn’t just a chess player — he’s a chess marathoner, a comeback kid, and an enigmatic force on the board. Whether blitzing through opponents at breakneck speeds or patiently outmaneuvering foes in rapid games, Gaurav reminds us that chess is a blend of strategy, psychology, and a sense of humor — especially when the game gets wild.
