A king in blitz clothing

Akshay Borgaonkar, known online as LeRoidesChampions, is an International Master built for speed. He enters online lobbies like it is a 5 a.m. bullet train: quick decisions, sharp tacks, and no apologies. His favorite room has always been blitz, and that is where the rating story gets explosive. From modest beginnings on the boards in 2022, the climb quickly turned into a sustained flight into space.

The blitz ceiling landed near 3048 (2026-05-27), and he has also touched the 3000 line in bullet, proof that the speed madness is fully symmetrical. But Akshay is not just about numbers; he is about stories. His opening dictionary is full of pages that other players skip.

A curious opening barrel

White or Black, Akshay avoids quiet, automaton chess. He has an affection for the Nimzo-Larsen Attack, a set starting with 1.b3 and all the tricky systems flowing from it. When Black arrives, he happily dives into the Caro-Kann Defense, turning a solid classical structure into a 40-move brawl. The opening report shows wins and losses across dozens of weird lines, including Amazon Attack wings and Australian defender turns, all fired around his own creative system.

Rivalries and comeback DNA

No name appears more often on Akshay's shared games than Ritvik Krishnan. They have played 96 times, and the next whole campaign has almost no winner. The matchup is a little better in his favor, against Om Kadam he has a stronger career record, while Aswath S always takes a bite out of his day. These are no ordinary pair of a player profile, they are recurring chapters of Akshay's online career.

The psychological profile is gloriously contradictory. His comeback rate sits at 88.6 percent, meaning even after a lost sheriff he keeps fighting. He loses a piece and still wins 44.3 percent of those games. He can rattle with a 12 tilt streak, but he can also hum 15 straight wins. And the average games go long: 80 moves does not scare him, maybe that endgame density over 80 percent is the real murmur.

At its heart, LeRoi is a blitz fighter with a Nimzo-Larsen Attack on his White agenda and a Caro-Kann Defense on Black, ready to fight you for a full hour even when the clock says three minutes. He makes chess feel like lightning.
