Player Profile: Adam Dhani (aka radjaolah)

Meet Adam Dhani, the chess enthusiast who moves his pieces almost as quickly as his thoughts—and sometimes faster than his rating can keep up! Known in the chess world by his username radjaolah, Adam has been making waves with his distinctive playing style and a promising climb in the rapid and blitz ranks.

Rating and Performance

Adam favors rapid chess, where his peak rating reached a respectable 1103 in May 2024, proving he’s no stranger to the pressure of quick decision-making. His blitz adventures are a rollercoaster ride of peaks and valleys, with a peak rating of 887 in August 2024. Whether it’s a nail-biter blitz match or a thoughtful rapid bout, Adam’s persistence is evident in his total blitz wins topping 1200, showing that losing is just a prelude to the next big win.

Style and Strategy

True to his preference for the King’s Fianchetto Opening and its many variations, Adam demonstrates a solid fondness for elegant, long-term positional play. He’s not just about opening theory; his games often average around 60 moves, which tells us he’s in for the full battle, savoring endgames where his strategic planning shines. His notable success with the Modern Defense Standard Two Knights Suttles Variation (winning over half his games there) shows Adam knows how to blend tactics with tradition.

Psychology at the Board

Adam is no stranger to the emotional ups and downs of chess. With a tilt factor of 10, he’s had his fair share of moments where the queen’s gambit might have felt more like a queen’s betrayal. But his impressive comeback rate of over 63% reveals a fighter who just keeps bouncing back. Morning humans rejoice—he plays his best for the hour of 7:00 AM, so maybe that’s when his coffee kicks in alongside his chess genius!

Recent Highlights

Adam’s recent victories have come with a flourish! In one rapid game on June 6, 2025, using a classic Modern Defense, he elegantly forced resignation from his opponent. His uncanny ability to keep opponents on their toes is further reflected in a 100% win rate against several players, including ameonebuccherobi, woofer99, and jere64. Clearly, if you face Adam, prepare for a fight of wits and nerves.

The Quirks

When Adam isn’t plotting comebacks or outmaneuvering opponents, he’s probably perfecting his kingside fianchetto or wondering if he could convince his knight to just jump over all the drama. Despite a few ups and downs in ratings (every chess path has its potholes), Adam’s journey shows heart, humor, and a hunger for progress—and doesn’t shy away from the occasional humble brag about his longest winning streak of 10 games. Not too shabby!

Fun Fact

His preferred first move often starts with g3—because starting calm and mysterious is the perfect chess mood. Ready to take on radjaolah? Better bring your A-game and a strong coffee.
