Ashish Kr Singh (aka jarvis737)
Meet Ashish Kr Singh, a rapidly ascending chess enthusiast who proves that sometimes, it’s less about being a grandmaster and more about having the grit to keep pushing those pawns forward! With a peak rapid rating of 671 as of June 2025, and a daily best of 1147, Ashish is steadily making waves on the online chessboard.
Playing Style & Stats
Ashish has a somewhat stubborn but effective style — averaging about 50 moves per win and 54 moves per loss, suggesting some seriously long battles where neither side gives an inch easily. Showing resilience, his comeback rate stands at a proud 65.6%, meaning when things go south (like losing a piece), Ashish often finds a way to get back in the game with nearly half of those fights turning in his favor.
He tends to surrender early in about 6% of his games—possibly a strategic life hack to save energy for the next match. And when he's white, he has a slight edge with a 55% win rate, while as black he holds his own with a respectable 52% win record. Chess fans might cheekily say he’s not just playing moves; he's also playing moods, managing a tilt factor of 6, so a couple of losses won’t tilt him off the board.
Favorite Openings
Ashish knows his openings like the back of his rook. His top rapid repertoire includes the King's Pawn Opening and its variations, with a winning rate north of 50% even in tricky lines like the King's Knight Variation and Leonardis Variation. His favorite tactical playground? The King's Pawn Opening Kings Knight Gunderam Defense where he’s scored an impressive 80% win rate in 5 games. Calm defenders beware!
Battle Highlights
In a recent thrilling rapid game against ahmed49600, Ashish (white) executed a clean win with clever rook maneuvers and timely piece sacrifices, culminating in a graceful resignation from his opponent. Quick on the clock and incisive at the board, these victories fuel his current 2-game winning streak—just shy of his personal best of 6 consecutive wins.
Personality & Quirks
A strategist who shines brightest in the morning hours – his best playing time is 8:00 AM (chess boards, coffee cups, and possibly pajama sleeves in hand). His games are peppered with moments of brilliance and occasional blunders, but hey, nobody’s perfect! Opponents often find themselves either basking in defeat (100% win rate against some) or catching a break when he faces stronger rivals.
Whether it’s a slow burn or a quick blitz, Ashish’s journey is a testament to loving the game for its beautiful complexity and endless surprises. So next time you see jarvis737 on the board, prepare for a chess battle that’s equal parts thoughtful, fierce, and maybe a little bit fun.
