Vaibhav Suri - The Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Meet Vaibhav Suri, also known across the chessboards and internet arenas as obliviate12. An acclaimed Grandmaster (yes, the official FIDE title and all that jazz), Vaibhav has been weaving tactical webs and blinding opponents with their cerebral wizardry.
Known for an incredibly sharp blitz rating peak soaring close to 2970 in March 2023, Vaibhav mastered the rapid-fire chaos of fast-paced games like a ninja with a stopwatch.

And quick wit isn’t just for blitz; their bullet rating peaked over 2800, and rapid games have seen a solid 2776 peak rating — clearly, no time control can cage this chess beast.
Vaibhav's style is a mix of patience and ferocity. With an average of about 80 moves per win, their battles are often long, exhausting marathons where every move counts. Despite a few nail-biting comebacks and some tilt moments (we all have them!), Vaibhav’s psychological resilience shines through — bouncing back with an impressive 87.5% comeback rate. When the chips are down, Vaibhav typically doesn’t just fold; they plot a counterattack that can make you rethink your life choices.
