Milind Maiti, better known to online chess fans as KingCrusher275, is a FIDE Master with a passion for Blitz that borders on legendary.

Repertoire and Openings
As White, Milind almost always reaches for 1.d4 and then dives into the deep waters of the Nimzo-Indian Defense. He has also logged thousands of battles in the English Opening and the King's Indian Defense. When he sits down with Black, the Petrov's Defense and the Sicilian Defense show up constantly, especially the Taimanov and Alapin variations. His opening preparation is clearly working: he has winning records in many of his most played opening lines, including a stellar 70 percent plus score in Queen's Gambit Declined lines with early bishop development.
