Mayukh Borana - The Chess Enthusiast with a Twist
Meet Mayukh Borana, also known in the cyber realms as mayank-109, a rapid chess player who dances on the 64 squares with a unique blend of grit, luck, and probably sheer stubbornness. Rated at 729 in Rapid as of 2025, Mayukh’s journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride through the ranks, steadily climbing from a first rapid rating of 384 in 2024 to a peak of 741 in 2025.
Chess in the Fast Lane
While his blitz and bullet ratings might make grandmasters chuckle a bit (maxing out at 277 in blitz and 408 in bullet, then crashing to the 230s and 100s respectively), Mayukh’s true battlefield is rapid chess. Here, he has played an impressive over a thousand games, amassing close to 500 wins and a roughly even split on losses — talk about a balanced rivalry with the chess gods!
Favored Openings & Tactical Quirks
Mayukh shows a fondness for classic openings but isn’t shy to experiment. The King's Fianchetto Opening is his secret weapon with a solid 54.6% win rate — the chess equivalent of wearing lucky socks. He’s also comfortable deploying the Caro Kann Defense, boasting a surprising 58.8% win rate there. However, some adventurous defenses like the Modern Defense and Scandinavian haven't quite smiling back, reflecting a slightly adventurous (or unlucky?) opening taste.
The Mind Behind the Moves
Known for an early resignation rate of just under 4%, Mayukh tends to fight till the end, with average moves per win at around 53 – a nod to his patience and resilience on the board. His comeback rate is a notable 62%, and get this: a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Whether it’s sheer tactical genius, narrative scripting, or the opponent’s disbelief, Mayukh knows how to turn adversity into victory.
Psychological Profile & Playing Times
Despite a tilt factor of 9 (yes, chess can be emotionally taxing), he still manages a strong 47.6% win rate difference favoring rated over casual games. His best days are Friday and Thursday, when his win rates exceed 60% and 54% respectively — looks like the pre-weekend vibe fuels his chess mojo. Interestingly, Mayukh prefers playing when the clock hits 8 AM or midnight, with win rates peaking above 55% during those hours, proving he's either an early bird or a night owl… or a tired genius.
Opponent Adventures
Mayukh’s win rate varies wildly depending on the opponent, with a few suffering a 0% win rate against him, while others boast 100% wins. It’s a curious chess soap opera where Mayukh's victories and defeats keep everyone on their toes. His most frequent sparring partner? lomashkp, with 14 matches played — perhaps a fierce rivalry brewing?
In summary, Mayukh Borana is that passionate player every chess circle respects: tenacious in rapid, quirky in tactics, and ever entertaining. If chess were comedy, Mayukh would be the master of surprise twists and dramatic comebacks!
