Deepak Gowda: The Enigmatic Chess Warrior

Deepak Gowda, known in the chess realms as moods929, is a player who dances between brilliance and chaos with a flair unmatched. With a peak Daily rating stubbornly sitting at 1236—unchanged since 2021 and again in 2025—it seems Deepak either discovered the secret to chess immortality or is just spectacularly consistent.

In Blitz, Deepak is the classic rollercoaster ride: his rating swings from a high of 592 in 2024 down to a humble 258 by 2025. With 370 wins and 385 losses over 776 Blitz games in 2025 alone, moods929 embodies the spirit of fearless combat—sometimes winning, sometimes losing, but never backing down.

The Rapid games tell a tale of strategic patience mixed with occasional bursts of tactical firepower. With an average rating around 400 and a nearly even win-loss record (16 wins to 12 losses across an extended career), Deepak's gameplay is like a suspense thriller—just when you think the climax is near, he pulls off a comeback.

On the Board

• Longest Winning Streak: A solid 7 games, showing moods929 knows how to ride the wave when luck and skill align.
• Comeback Rate: An impressive 40.56%, proving Deepak never says die—even when down a piece!
• Win Rate After Losing a Piece: A perfect 100%. The guy doesn’t just lose material; he turns it into bait for victory.
• Early Resignation Rate: Only 14%, which means moods929 occasionally slinks away from hopeless positions but prefers to battle hard most of the time.

Playing Style & Humor

Deepak has a fondness for the mysterious "Top Secret" opening, boasting close to a 48% Blitz win rate with it and an unbeatable streak in Daily. Is it Top Secret because even he forgets the moves mid-game? Maybe. But it works more often than not! His average moves per win hover around 39—enough time for the opponent to rethink their life choices.

Psychologically, moods929 has a tilt factor of 9—which is just enough to get into trouble but not enough to flip the board. Rated versus casual matches show a nearly 48% difference in win rate, confirming Deepak takes rated games deadly serious, but still loves to kick back casually and make friends... or foes.

Famous Among Opponents

Deepak's recent opponents include wissbo and suntprost2, both of whom unfortunately have a 100% loss record against him—strictly business. However, some rivals like tamila1995 and solefay have bested him without mercy. Such is the ebb and flow of chess life.

Whether it’s blitz or daily, rapid or casual, Deepak Gowda is the embodiment of resilience, unpredictability, and secret moves—words you might find in a spy novel or, more accurately, his chess adventures.
