Profile Summary: Nav Dhanda 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Meet navdhanda, a chess warrior straddling the best of both Canada and the USA, combining maple syrup diplomacy with a touch of American hustle on the 64 squares. Known for an impressive knack for the Pirc Defense, Nav has mastered the art of poking the king's side with subtlety and flair — opponents beware, the Geller System comes with a 100% win rate for him in daily games!

Starting from humble beginnings with a modest rating hovering around 400 in 2022, Nav transformed into a near-1200+ daily dynamo by 2025 — talk about leveling up! His blitz and rapid ratings waver in the 700-800s range, showing that while he commands the longer daily battles beautifully, he’s still working on taming the lightning speed duels.

A strategist at heart, Nav’s opening repertoire is a blend of classic and modern, with a penchant for the Indian Game boasting a stellar 90.91% win rate. Not exactly your garden-variety “pawn-pusher,” Nav’s playstyle reveals deep tactical awareness, boasting a comeback rate exceeding 75%, which means even when the chips are down, he fights with the tenacity of a lion... or perhaps a really persistent Canadian moose.

Psychologically speaking, Nav experiences a “tilt factor” of 10 — yes, he occasionally gets flustered but nothing a good cup of Tim Hortons and a swift queen sacrifice can’t fix. His best time to strike on the board? Around 4 PM, when the sunlight is just right and the brain is firing at full chess power.

On the social front, he’s a bit of a one-trick pony with the Pirc Defense being his signature, especially the Main Line Byrne Variation which sports an 83.33% win rate. His opponents must dread facing the precise and careful buildup akin to a slow-cooked poutine — savory and hard to beat.

Fun Facts:

• Longest winning streak: 11 games. Nav once went on a streak so hot, even the board melted a little.
• Average moves per win: around 61, proving Nav likes to savor each position like fine maple whisky.
• Prefers to resign early only 2.38% of the time — he’s a fighter who hates giving in before the end.
