Likhit Chilukuri: The Blitz Maestro

Meet Likhit Chilukuri, also known by the subtle yet unassuming username Likhit1. He's the kind of chess player who could probably checkmate you with one hand tied behind his back—if only he played that way. Since entering the realm of competitive chess in 2012, Likhit has been racing down the clock in exhilarating blitz games, often faster than you can say "checkmate"!

Rating Rollercoaster & Peak Achievements

Likhit's rating journey reads like an epic novel filled with thrilling ups and minor downs. His peak blitz rating soared to an impressive 2515 in December 2019, a knight’s move away from grandmaster territory! Rapidly refining his skills, he also crowned himself with a peak rapid rating of 2297 as recently as February 2025, and a bullet rating that once struck at 2445 in October 2021—talk about speed and precision! 2515 (2019-12-03), 2297 (2023-12-19), 2445 (2021-10-07).

A Tactical All-Rounder with a Dash of Humor

Likhit’s approach to the game is a delicate balance of calculated calm and tactical fireworks. With an average of almost 63 moves per win, his games aren't just quick bursts of speed; they're marathons of brainpower with plenty of opportunities for dramatic comebacks (some 80% of the time, no less). Tilt factor? A modest 21—meaning he can take a loss almost as well as he delivers them (okay, maybe better).

Opening Repertoire: A Grand Mix

You’ll find Likhit mixing it up with openings like the Closed Sicilian Defense (his favorite white knight’s gambit!), the French Defense, and the London System—because why settle for one when you can keep your opponents guessing? His wins in these openings hover comfortably around the 50-66% mark, with the London System granting him a charming 66.67% blitz win rate.

Epic Streaks & Mind Games

With a longest winning streak that begs to be immortalized in a bard’s tale—81 games!—Likhit has proven he can keep the pressure mercilessly up and the checkmates coming. He's also as resilient as a pawn march through the center, bouncing back from losses with a win rate of 55.44% after losing a piece. His preferred haunt? The late-night battlegrounds around 2 AM, when the stars align and chess pieces feel alive.

Favourite Moves? How about First Captures!

Most aggressive first capture move emerges early at about the 7th move, showing that Likhit prefers not to politely wait but to throw down the gauntlet quickly. White pieces have had a slightly better time against him, with a 58.76% win rate, but don't let that fool you—his black pieces strike back fiercely at 55.77%.
