PrashanthSoundarRajan: The Chronicles of a Chess Warrior
Meet PrashanthSoundarRajan, a fearless chess enthusiast who boldly navigates the 64 squares with a rating peaking at 1384 in Rapid chess back in May 2021. While the Daily games keep him at a steadfast 400 rating (because consistency is key, right?), his Rapid adventures reveal a player who refuses to give up, boasting a solid 362 wins out of 774 games and an impressively spicy comeback rate of 62% — because why quit when a comeback is just a few moves away?
Playing Style & Personality
Prashanth’s games often show an endgame aficionado’s patience, with an endgame frequency above 55% and an average of around 50 moves per win. He’s not one to throw in the towel quickly, although he does have a respectable early resignation rate of about 10%. When the pieces vanish from the board and it's game-on, he’s as comfortable playing White as Black, with a slight edge when wielding the dark pieces. Definitely a player who knows how to keep the suspense alive!
The Psychological Battlefield
Even mighty warriors have their off days, and Prashanth is no exception. With a tilt factor of 7 (the lower, the better), he handles defeat like a pro but occasionally ruffles his robes when the clock ticks mercilessly. His best hour to strike is 8 AM — apparently, the early bird gets the checkmate! And between Rated and Casual games, he shines brighter in the Rated spotlight, with nearly 47% more wins there. Clearly, the pressure brings out his best.
Memorable Wins & Feisty Rivalries
Prashanth’s habit of winning on time has become almost legendary, having secured multiple victories by outlasting opponents’ clocks. His favorite “Top Secret” opening moves keep challengers guessing, winning nearly half of his battles across daily and rapid formats. Among his toughest foes and most-played opponents, players like tanushalu and zyrusfille stand out — but Prashanth’s arsenal is ready for all comers, with a fair streak of wins against some very fierce opponents.
Fun Facts & Quirks
