Kunsh Bhatia (aka kunsh41) - Chess Player Extraordinaire

Meet Kunsh Bhatia, a chess enthusiast who approaches the sixty-four squares like a chessboard whisperer. While not quite storming the grandmaster ranks just yet, Kunsh’s journey through the realms of chess ratings reveals a player who keeps climbing, learning, and occasionally toppling opponents with flair.

Rating Adventures

• Rapid: Master of ups and downs. Kunsh's rapid rating soared from a modest 224 all the way to a peak of 568 in May 2025, boasting a solid average of around 457 in recent months. That’s a leap that would make even a knight dizzy!
• Daily Chess: Some say slow and steady wins the race—Kunsh’s daily rating maxed out at a crisp 800, undefeated at that level in brief bursts. Patience clearly pays off.
• Bullet: The lightning round sometimes sees Kunsh darting around with a peak rating of 349, showing speed and tactical sharpness, even if sometimes the rapid fingers get tangled in a tough sequence.

Playing Style & Tendencies

Kunsh is a thinker, averaging about 46 moves for victories and tending to drag fights almost 51 moves when losing – talk about endurance and grit! The player enjoys a balanced mix of opening with both White and Black, clocking a better success rate when wielding the white pieces (~57%) but still showing grit with Black (~45%). Despite a modest tilt factor of 6, Kunsh bounces back impressively, coming back to win nearly 60% of fights after falling behind—proof that resilience is their middle name.

While early resignations happen 11.3% of the time (because sometimes, who wants to sit through a slow death?), endgames occur often—almost half the games reach this tense finale. Plus, Kunsh’s “best time of day” to play is an oddly specific 6 AM, proving that even chess heroes like to greet the dawn with a checkmate.

Favorite Openings & Weapons of Choice

Love for classical structures shines through, with the King's Pawn Opening as a trusty steed—Kunsh has played it 67 times with a comfortable ~52% win rate. The Queen's Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation is the secret weapon, boasting an impressive two-thirds win rate. And for those tricky Scandinavian Defense fans, Kunsh holds a favorable 59% win rate, turning those offbeat lines into winning chances.

Other openings, like the Philidor Defense and the Englund Gambit, are also part of the toolkit, with success rates above 60%, showing versatility almost as broad as the chessboard itself.

Recent Legendary Battles

Just a few days ago, Kunsh dazzled spectators by checkmating remy_03600 after a masterclass involving the Queen's Pawn Opening (Zukertort Chigorin Variation). The final position showed a proud king basking in the glory of a well-earned victory, a true "checkmate" moment!

Along the way, Kunsh has also shown mercy, winning by resignation against opponents like victor11022009, proving that sometimes the fiercest pressure comes from subtle position play.

Opposing Forces & Rivalries

Kunsh has faced a colorful roster of opponents, from longtime rivals ishuproga-og (with a respectable 62.5% win rate against them) to absolute nemeses like diellllll and bdog0826, against whom Kunsh has yet to notch a single victory (hey, no one wins them all!). Yet, the list of perfect records (100% wins) against many online challengers suggests Kunsh is definitely a bully on the board when in top form.

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak: 7 games, proving that when Kunsh’s mind clicks, the queens and rooks come out to play.
• Current winning streak: 5 games (still firing on all cylinders).
• Best winning rates occur on Saturday (64.62%) and especially in the afternoon hours of 14-15 (around 60%)—weekend warrior vibes confirmed.
• Games ended primarily by checkmate or resignation, with Kunsh preferring the dignity of tipping the opponent over the clock running out.

All in all, Kunsh41 is a player who blends earnest study, tactical awareness, and enough stubbornness to make each game a battle worth watching. Whether pioneering the Queen’s Pawn or stashing pawns in Scandinavian chaos, Kunsh’s exploits on the chessboard are a delightful mix of calculated precision and bold gambits — with a hint of cheeky charm.
