Meet Prateek_Jha: The Rollercoaster Chess Maestro
Known on the digital battlefield as PrateekAYANO, Prateek Jha is the kind of chess player who loves a good comeback almost as much as a good cup of coffee. His rapid games are a thrilling saga of ups and downs, starting back in 2022 with a rapid rating shy of 300 — but don’t blink, because by 2025, he soared close to a 950 rating, proving persistence truly pays off.
Rating & Performance Highlights
- Rapid: From humble beginnings with a 285 minimum to a nearly grandmaster-esque peak of 991 in 2024.
- Bullet: Moves fast, thinks faster. Despite some early losses, he hit a peak rating 581 in 2025.
- Daily & Blitz: Although less active here, his blitz win rate of nearly 63% shows he can blitz opponents quicker than you can say "checkmate".
Playing Style & Quirks
Prateek’s style is a fascinating blend of patience and tactical wizardry. He tends to resign early about 11% of the time — “why prolong the inevitable?” he might say. Endgames make up over a third of his games, and with an average of ~45 moves per win, battles on the board are rarely boring.
Even when losing a piece, Prateek pulls off miraculous recoveries 100% of the time, a statistic that would impress even the toughest grandmasters. Beware: his tilt factor of 22 means he sometimes feels the heat, but that never takes away his competitive flame.
Victory Streaks & Rivalries
His longest winning streak clocks in at an impressive 20 games — a mini chess cyclone! While currently not on a streak, Prateek boasts victories against a rainbow of rivals, including a perfect 100% win rate against some strongly named opponents, like alejandroakazaddy and melqonyanvanik. He’s also tangled frequently with fellow strong competitor adityajha0102, keeping a close scoreline that keeps fans on edge.
Time Is His Ally
Curiously, Prateek shines brightest on Thursday evenings around 8 PM, with a win rate soaring near 69%. Early mornings? Not so much—5 AM shows only a 30% win rate. So, if you’re challenging him, maybe avoid dawn duels!
The Chess-Life Behind The Moves

His blend of strategic patience, tactical brilliance, and humor for the game makes him both a formidable opponent and a cherished member of the chess community.
