Rajesh Lamichhane: The Rapid Riddler of the Chessboard

Meet Rajesh Lamichhane, also known in the chess realms as Raazwesgbjj, a player whose rapid games never fail to keep opponents guessing—and often scratching their heads. With a career spanning from 2021 to 2025, Rajesh has experienced the wild rollercoaster ride of ratings and matchups, proving that chess isn't just a game, it's a test of wit, patience, and sometimes, stubborn refusal to resign early.

Starting with a rapid rating modestly creeping from 910 in 2021 to a peak near 997 in 2022 and maintaining a solid perch close to 939 by 2025, Rajesh has played over 3,000 rapid games with an almost equal number of wins (1,278) and losses (1,334)—a dance of near parity rarely seen outside of thriller movies. On the daily front, things are a bit less forgiving with zero wins in a handful of clashes, perhaps showing he only truly shines when the clock is ticking!

Known for a unique "Top Secret" opening (2700 games and counting!), Rajesh isn't one to broadcast their preferred strategies—perhaps a move to keep the mystery alive or simply an excuse they've been working on a confidential chess formula. Win rates hover around 47% in rapid, indicative of a pragmatic player who wins almost as often as they learn lessons (aka lose).

Playing Style & Quirks:

  • Early Resignation Rate: A humble 3.74%. Rajesh isn’t one to quit easily—unless it’s to grab a snack.
  • Endgame Frequency: Nearly 65% of games make it to the battle of pawns and kings—the true test of skill and patience.
  • Avg Moves Per Win: 66 moves. In other words, Rajesh likes to make every game a saga, not a sprint.
  • Comeback King: Boasts an impressive 75.74% comeback rate, proving that it’s never over till the last piece falls—or in Rajesh’s case, till the coffee runs out.
  • Tilt Factor: At 9, Rajesh knows the struggle of the mental game—getting rattled but never rattling opponents that much.

Rajesh’s better moments come in the wee hours, with a startling 75% win rate at midnight and 57% at 1 AM—possibly powered by midnight snacks or eerie inspirational vibes. The “Raazwesgbjj” legend is a special blend of resilience, a smidge of mystery, and an uncanny ability to make even the clock sweat.

Opponents beware: Rajesh has some nemeses who rarely stumble, but many whom they've crushed with a perfect 100% win rate, including recent speedy rivals thalapathy_5 and jayteechess1. For those looking to duke it out, come armed with strategies sharper than Rajesh’s comeback skills!

In summary, Rajesh Lamichhane is a crafty chess fighter who believes every piece counts, every minute on the clock is a battle, and every loss is just a plot twist in their ongoing chess saga. One might say, they play chess not just with their mind, but with heart—and maybe a bit of caffeine.

Hi Rajesh!

Great run of games lately—your aggressive style is scoring points! Below is a quick review based on your last handful of rapid (10 min) games.

What you’re already doing well

  • Fighting spirit – You often find tactical shots (e.g. 31.Rc8+! in your latest French win).
  • King safety awareness – You castle by move 12 in almost every victory, so keep that habit.
  • End-game technique is improving – Converting the extra passed pawn vs lennybenny2 was smooth.

Patterns that hold you back

  • Early flank pawns – 2.a3 and 3.h3 appear in seven of your last ten games. They rarely help central control and sometimes delay development.
  • Queen hunts – Grabbing loose pawns (e.g. 8…Qxb2 in the Caro-Kann) cost you time and introduced counter-play.
  • Connection / clock issues – Three recent losses were “game abandoned”. Make sure your device & internet are stable before starting.

Concrete improvement plan

  1. Adopt one main opening for each color
    • As White: Try a simple structure such as the London System or Italian Game—no need for early a3/h3.
    • As Black vs 1.e4: Your French setup scored well; learn the basic ideas of the Advance and Exchange variations.
    • As Black vs 1.d4: Your Queen’s Gambit Declined games were solid—review the Vienna and Tarrasch ideas for variety.
  2. Use a “30-move checklist”
    Before every move ask: 1) Are all pieces protected? 2) Can I improve the worst-placed piece? 3) What does my opponent threaten?
  3. End-game drill: King + pawn races
    Practice rook-and-pawn vs rook endings 10 minutes daily on any trainer. You reached such endings in four of your last wins.
  4. Post-game review routine
    Load the PGN, run a quick engine blunder check, then explain each blunder in your own words. The goal: understand why, not just what.

Focus positions to study

  • French Defense: Diagram after 15…Nb5 (your latest win) – how should Black equalize?
  • Caro-Kann: Diagram after 8…Qxb2 – spot the tactical resource that White missed.
  • London vs nesma36: Move 17…Ngf6 – find a better plan than repeating moves.

Next steps

Play five games applying the “no early flank pawn” rule, then review with the checklist. Send me one PGN afterward—I’ll be happy to annotate it!

Keep enjoying the journey—small tweaks will push your rapid rating well past 1000 soon.
