Profile Summary: Mohan (aka maxfire40)
Meet Mohan, the chess gladiator known in the arena as maxfire40. With a journey peppered by thrilling wins and learning-defining losses, Mohan has been battling through the ranks with fiery passion and a touch of chessboard wizardry. His Rapid rating once soared to an impressive peak of 811 in April 2024—because apparently, “slow and steady” just doesn’t describe his style.
Mohan's style is a curious blend of endurance and tactical brilliance. On average, his winning games stretch to around 52 moves, because he loves to squeeze every last drop of drama out of the game. He often finds victory through resignation (646 wins), proving he can pressure opponents to throw in the towel without even breaking a sweat. But beware: Mohan has been known to tilt occasionally, clocking a tilt factor of 12—watch out for those fiery post-game rants!
If you want to catch Mohan at his best, tune in around 1 AM, the witching hour when his win rate peaks mysteriously. His opening repertoire features a secret weapon dubbed "Top Secret", with over 2,000 rapid games played, and a win rate hovering just shy of 50%—because he’s all about suspense and unpredictability.
Despite a rollercoaster ride of wins and losses (a career rapid record of 1070 wins to 1007 losses), Mohan’s resilience shines through with an impressive 71% comeback rate after facing setbacks. Having a cheeky early resignation rate of 12.3%, he knows when to quit—sometimes before the headache sets in.
His victories come in all forms: from cunning checkmates to opponents throwing in the resignation towel. The last thrilling game saw maxfire40 secure victory by resignation in a tense Center Game Accepted Normal Variation, flawlessly navigating complex middle- and endgames.
Off the battlefield, Mohan enjoys the classic chess paradox: “To lose is to learn, but to win is to brag endlessly.” Whether dismantling opponents in rapid time controls or braving bullet games with heroic persistence, maxfire40's passion for chess lights up the board—sometimes like a fire, sometimes like smoke, but always unforgettable.
Can you handle his fire? Play at your own risk.
