Chess Player Profile: Naneswar

Meet Naneswar, a master of the Van 't Kruijs Opening who knows how to ruffle some feathers on the chessboard — even if sometimes it means ruffling his own! His peak rapid rating, a proud 1117 achieved in May 2025, shows steady and impressive growth from humble beginnings. From struggling with a sub-600 minimum to conquering the 1100+ club, Naneswar defines persistence... or stubbornness, but we prefer persistence!

Playing Style & Strengths

With an early resignation rate of 13.56%, Naneswar isn't afraid to admit defeat early—sometimes a smart move to save energy for the next epic battle. Endgames? He dives into them nearly 39% of the time, proving he’s comfortable carrying the war late into the night. Average moves per win hover at 51, which suggests he enjoys a good strategic marathon rather than quick skirmishes.

Fighting Spirit & Comebacks

A comeback rate over 31% shows that Naneswar rarely stays down — losing a piece doesn't mean losing the game here, as his win rate after losing material stands at a respectable 34.39%. Still, about 20.57% of his losses were one-sided, proving that even the best have their “oops” moments.

Favorite Openings

• Van 't Kruijs Opening – The signature move! Played 684 times with a near 47% win rate, Naneswar has truly made this less famous opening his own playground.
• French Defense Variations – Comfortably dancing around French Defense lines with win rates hovering around 50-55%, especially notorious are the Knight and Steinitz Attacks where victory seems just a move away.
• Reti Opening Queens Gambit Invitation – With a 63.64% win rate in 11 games, it’s a small but mighty weapon in his arsenal.

Chess Hustle & Tenacity

With a near-perfect balance of wins and losses in rapid (625 wins to 626 losses, with 39 draws), Naneswar proves chess is as much about the thrill of the fight as the final score. His longest winning streak is an admirable 8 games, but he’s also had a rough patch with a 12-game losing streak — hey, what great story ever started without a few setbacks?

Psychological Profile

Naneswar tilts about 12% of the time — not bad considering chess can be an emotional rollercoaster. Interestingly, his prime time to play? 10 PM sharp, when the moon’s out and so is his tactical genius. And beware: playing against higher-rated opponents is a challenge, with over 80% losses, but when climbing above (or below) that rating bar, Naneswar’s true grit shines.

Latest Triumph

Naneswar’s most recent victory was a dazzling example of strategic tenacity, winning by resignation against Sukowiadi with a classic maneuvering of queens and knights in the Van ‘t Kruijs Opening. He managed to sneak in a sneaky queen capture deep in enemy territory after 11 moves — apparently, patience (and persistence) really is a virtue.
