Dushyant Sharma (aka LogicBaba)

International Master of the 64 Squares

Meet Dushyant Sharma, an International Master who probably dreams in chess moves and might just see the world as one giant chessboard. Known online as LogicBaba, Dushyant's journey from a humble bullet rating of 952 in 2017 to smashing an incredible peak rating of 2903 by March 2025 is nothing short of a chess thriller.

The Rise of a Tactical Titan

From blazing bullet games to rapid-fire blitz battles, Dushyant has logged thousands of matches, accumulating over 8,000 wins in bullet alone—clearly more wins than some people have had hot dinners. Their playing style is a curious mix of resilience and endurance, refusing to quit early (less than 18% early resignations) and often taking matches deep into the endgame (almost 67% frequency). This iron will is complemented by a surgical comeback rate hovering near 79%, proving that losing a piece doesn't mean the game's over—it just means the real fun is beginning.

Favorite Openings — Because Why Not Outsmart Your Opponent from Move One?

• Sicilian Defense Open Dragon Levenfish Variation: With a win rate north of 62% in bullet and an even more fearsome 63% in blitz, this spicy line is a fan favorite (especially when your opponent didn't see it coming).
• Alekhine's Defense Scandinavian Variation: Dushyant has played this more than 1,100 times with finesse, closing the board with a solid 51.6% win rate in bullet.
• Caro-Kann Defense Exchange Variation: Holding its own with a cool 52.64% bullet win rate — a line that whispers, “I'm solid, but deadly.”

Psychological Warfare & Quirks

When the going gets tough, LogicBaba doesn't throw in the towel—well, only about 18% early resign rate. Their tilt factor, a mysterious but pesky number indicating how often frustration creeps in, sits at 27; not too shabby for a warrior constantly battling high-stakes blitz and bullet warfare. Interestingly, their best performance hour is 2 AM, suggesting they might be secretly fueled by midnight snacks and caffeine.

A Recent Feat Worth Bragging About

On June 2, 2025, LogicBaba seized victory in a live chess bullet game against "Mrlammy," showcasing a patient build-up and a killer endgame. Check out the game here to marvel at their precision and time management. (Spoiler: It ended on time victory, because sometimes the clock is your best ally.)

The Opponents & Rivalries

Among the many fallen foes, Dushyant has faced stalwarts like hemantsharma (628 games) and papipapita (451 games). With a win rate of roughly 32% against aakash-dalvi7, and a more impressive 42.86% defeat of beloved swapchess90, the battlefield is diverse and relentless. It seems even the toughest opponents can't keep LogicBaba down for long.

Final Thoughts

Dushyant Sharma is not just an International Master—their extensive experience, relentless grit, and well-earned reputation mean that every game they play is a lesson in strategic brilliance with a dash of entertaining unpredictability. Whether bullet, blitz, or rapid, their chess antics keep fans guessing: Will it be a fiery attack, a precise defense, or a cheeky time win? One thing's for sure—LogicBaba never plays to lose.
