Profile of Prem (aka premchandramaurya)
Prem is a relentless chess enthusiast known for his strategic mind and uncanny resilience on the board. Starting his rapid chess journey in 2023 with a respectable rating of 959, he quickly rose through the ranks, achieving a blistering rapid rating of 1438 by 2025. He plays bullet, blitz, and rapid formats with almost equal passion, reaching peak bullet ratings of 1080 and blitz highs around 1147.
Playing Style & Personality
With an emphasis on endgames (visible in his 72.86% endgame frequency), Prem is less about rushing and more about strategic grinding, averaging about 64 moves per win. Don’t mistake his patience for lack of fire; his comeback rate is an impressive 77.82%, and if he loses a piece, you better watch out — his win rate after losing material is a perfect 100%. Yes, it’s like he’s powered by a secret chess potion or maybe a lucky rabbit’s pawn.
Prem’s tilt factor is on the low side (10 on a scale where higher means more tilt), meaning when the heat is on, he generally keeps his cool despite a couple of losses. But beware of his one-sided losses — they’re rare and probably involve alien intervention.
Match Records & Opponents
Playing over 5,000 games across all time controls, Prem has secured well over 3,000 wins, showcasing persistence even when things get tough. He seems to have some interesting rivalries, especially with jain_neetesh, against whom he has played 157 times with a 46.5% win rate — the closest thing to a heated feud in his chess world. On the other hand, some opponents like deep0495 and quentin99999 never stood a chance, facing a 100% win rate from Prem!
Fun Facts & Quirks
