Vikyy Bishnoi - The Chess Virtuoso (aka MasterVikyy)
Meet Vikyy Bishnoi, better known in the chess circles as MasterVikyy – a strategic maestro with a penchant for the unexpected and a not-so-secret weapon: the "Top Secret" opening that shreds opponents' hopes with an 88% win rate in Daily games. A fierce competitor who has danced with the knights and bishops across all time controls, Vikyy brings a unique blend of determination and style to every board.
Peak Daily Rating: 1367 (Mar 2025) – bringing calm and calculated attacks over longer battles.
Peak Blitz Rating: 1152 (Dec 2024) – enough lightning to surprise any foe.
Peak Bullet Rating: 1137 (Apr 2024) – because who doesn’t like to play fast and furious?
Playing Style
Vikyy is a patient player with a high tolerance for complexity – averaging about 53 moves on wins and almost 66 on losses. This player shines brightest in endgames (over 60% of games reach this phase), showcasing true mastery of the chess battlefield. Early resignations are rare at just over 2%, proving Vikyy never quits without a fight.
Psychological resilience? 68.6% comeback rate after falling behind – reminding opponents that giving up on MasterVikyy is a hazardous move. However, beware the tilt factor of 11; even the grandest players have moments of frustration (or coffee shortage).
Signature Openings
Whether it’s the mysterious “Top Secret” openings dominating Daily games (with a win rate near 88%), or a strong preference for unknown territories in Bullet and Blitz formats, Vikyy keeps opponents guessing. Masters should beware the London System, Three Knights Opening, and an arsenal of variations like the French Defense Steiner or Queens Gambit Declined Marshall Defense that sprinkle victories like confetti.
Recent Memorable Battles
The latest triumph in June 2025 was a masterclass in precision and nerves of steel, culminating with a checkmate against mbastian01 after promoting a pawn to queen on move 53! Read the game here and witness the magic unfold. But hey, even the best slip sometimes; a recent loss to lykkepeter ended with a quick "game abandoned" - chess is unpredictable, just like life.
Win-Loss Chronicles
Rapid Games: Slightly over 2150 wins against nearly 2000 losses – more wins than not, and a treasure trove of 159 draws.
Blitz Battles: A near-even split with just shy of 2000 wins and losses, proving every game is a rollercoaster of thrills.
Bullet Frenzy: Battled fiercely with 76 wins and 81 losses – because bullets are fast and so is Vikyy’s wit.
Daily Duels: Very impressive at 54 wins vs 15 losses, dominating the longer format with cool-headed strategy.
Fun Facts
Likes to start games with 1.d4 – the humble queen’s pawn who never fails to deliver.
Best time of day to play? Midnight (00:00) – clearly a night owl plotting world domination one move at a time.
Current Winning Streak: 1 (let’s hope it’s the start of something big!)
Longest Winning Streak: 12 games in a row – talk about peak concentration!
Sometimes the clock is more terrifying than the opponent – timeout losses far outnumber timeout wins, so watch that time management.
