Profile: Prajwal Ghinmine (aka Mrs-Praj)
Meet Prajwal Ghinmine, a chess player whose rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster ride—filled with rapid climbs, sudden drops, and heroic comebacks. With a Rapid rating hovering around 600 in recent years, Prajwal is no stranger to the heat of battle, grinding through over 288 Rapid games since 2024. This player enjoys the tactical dance of the board, boasting an impressive 47% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—because who says losing a knight means losing hope?
Prajwal’s style mixes patience with bursts of creativity. They tend to savor longer endgames, averaging nearly 45 moves in wins and showing endurance with games often stretching over 60 moves in losses. Not one to quit early either, with an early resignation rate barely above 5%, Mrs-Praj battles until the very end.
Their favorite openings in Rapid include the classic King's Pawn Opening (42.5% win rate) and the French Defense—a choice that pays dividends with over 63% success, clearly a secret weapon. For the bold and brave, the Van't Kruijs Opening offers a delightful 71% win rate! Meanwhile, Blitz and Bullet encounters provide a mix of highs and lows, with explosive wins and occasional stumbles (looking at you, Bullet rating that started high but took a nosedive).
Whether facing the infamous "aryankuttarmare" ten times (and holding a 30% win share) or celebrating flawless victories against many opponents, Prajwal’s resilience shines through. The Tilt Factor is low (only 9 out of 100), proving a steady mindset even in intense moments. But beware: some opponents never get a chance to celebrate, as Mrs-Praj’s win rates against numerous challengers hit a perfect 100%.
As for timing, afternoons and early evenings are prime battle zones, with win rates spiking above 50% between 10 AM and 12 PM, and steady performances across the week—although Sundays seem to bring a bit of a slump (maybe Sunday is for rest, not for rook attacks).
In summary, Prajwal Ghinmine is a perceptive tactician, a resilient competitor, and a lover of complex positions where they'll outlast and outwit opponents. A chess journey with this player is never dull—expect a good battle, a bit of flair, and perhaps a few hilarious blunders along the way, because winning is fun, but laughing at your own mistakes? Priceless.
