With a peak rapid rating of 658 reached in April 2025, nkpraveen is no stranger to thrilling wins and occasional setbacks, making every game a rollercoaster of emotions and strategy.

Starting off each match with an average of about 50 moves shows not only endurance but also a flair for the dramatic, as nkpraveen loves a well-fought battle that goes the distance. Their playing style is a quirky mix: they have a respectable come back rate of over 70%, proving that early losses of pieces are just minor nuisances and not the end of the story. Black pieces seem to bring out the best in them, boasting a win rate of 64% compared to 55% with white.

Openings? Oh yes! nkpraveen favors the Queen's Pawn Opening and its many intriguing variations. The Mikenas Defense is a personal favorite, with a stunning 100% win rate across six battles — no pressure there! Although the Scandinavian Defense has been a bit more challenging, with a win rate hovering around 36%, every loss is just a learning opportunity wrapped in a puzzle.
