His approach isn’t just about brute force; he maintains an impressive average first capture move at 6.66, attesting to a thoughtful, piece-first strategy.

Recent Memorable Games

One of Mukesh’s latest triumphs was a blistering blitz win against fermol22, wrapping up with a classy resignation at move 16 (because why prolong the suffering?). In a battle of nerves, he won on time against jonsalhas, turning the clock into a weapon just as much as his pawns and knights.

But beware, like any great player, Mukesh has tasted defeat—most recently falling to keonej by checkmate. Even the best can get forked!
