Meet Piyush (aka pyushme) – The Rapid Dynamo of the Chessboard
Piyush, who proudly plays under the username pyushme, is a chess enthusiast on a rollercoaster ride through the 64 squares. His domain? Rapid chess, where he's shown glimpses of brilliance, hitting a peak rating of 575 in January 2025, which is pretty impressive considering a casual observer might confuse those numbers for a rocket launch code.
Starting 2025 blazing, Piyush embarked on over 400 rapid games, winning 252 and drawing 59, proving he's not just a "resign early" kind of player (only ~10.6% early resigns folks!). He’s quite the finisher with an endgame frequency nearing 58% — if the game goes long, expect fireworks or maybe some nail-biting suspense.
To call his openings eclectic would be an understatement. His favorite battlefield? The Queen’s Pawn Opening, where he’s bagged a respectable 53% win rate over 81 battles. Fancy a Scandinavian Defense? Piyush dominates there too, with an even sexier 59% win rate. But not everything is rosy: his poor King's Pawn Opening hovers just below 40% success, leaving room for the advice "Maybe skip that one?"
One of Piyush's quirks is his best play time — apparently at 7 PM sharp — when the stars align and tactics flourish. Interestingly, his comeback rate after losing a piece is a warrior-like 40%, showing he never gives up without a fight. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that he doesn’t tilt too hard, holding a tilt score of just 7.
When it comes to opponents, Piyush has tangled most frequently with rivaakikan, achieving a nail-biting 51.5% win rate. Against some adversaries, his record shines like a diamond—slaying foes with 100% success, making him a formidable foe in mini-rivalries.
Recent Highlight — Checkmate in Style
On June 5th, 2025, Piyush dazzled the audience with a checkmate finish against rivaakikan. The strategic waltz spanned over 79 moves before delivering the final blow: Rxb6#. It’s the kind of victory best enjoyed with popcorn and a dramatic chess commentary (or at least a knowing nod from fellow chess nerds).
