Rakshitta Ravi — The Woman Grandmaster Who Moves Faster Than Your Wi-Fi

Meet Rakshitta Ravi, known in the chess world and online as rakshi2005, a formidable Woman Grandmaster who has made quite a name for herself on the 64 squares. If chess were a video game, Rakshitta would be the final boss — cunning, calculated, and unapologetically ruthless with a flick of her knight.

Her peak blitz rating clocks in at an impressive 2593 (as of December 2023), while her bullet rating is even more intimidating, pushing a cool 2689 (September 2024). She’s rarely outpaced on the battlefield of rapid-fire decisions, with an Endgame Frequency of over 84%, proving she’s as deadly in the clutch as she is at the opening bell.

Rakshitta’s style? Imagine a ninja in sneakers: low early resignation rate (only about 0.9%), a mean knack for comebacks (winning back the game 89% of the time after setbacks), and a tendency to drag her opponents into marathon endgames averaging well over 80 moves. Patience and technique? Check and check.

When she’s not plotting checkmate, she’s busy breaking streak records — wielding a longest winning streak of 25 games. Yes, you read that right. She can turn those pawns into an unstoppable army and make a queen look like a sidekick.

Her psychology is as intriguing as her play: early mornings (1 AM to be exact) are her prime performing hours — who knew nights were for knights and rooks to reign supreme? And while she might "tilt" (chess player talk for emotionally fumble) now and then, her Tilt Factor stands at a modest 16, making her tough competition for anyone who dares challenge her focus.

Off the board, Rakshitta’s most frequent opponents include vinniethepooh (400 clashes) and nissou-ach (281 matches), suggesting she's got fan clubs and rivals aplenty. Opponents beware — her win rate varies dramatically, so crossing swords with her could either be a ticket to glory or an expedited exit.

Recent Highlights

• In a recent blitz duel against AjedrezConMonchess, she emerged victorious on time after a marathon 53-move battle involving the Reti Opening — proving she’s just as comfortable controlling the clock as controlling the board.
• Another scintillating win featured her perfect command of the Benoni Defense against Goran_Galiot, finishing the game after 35 intense moves.
• Even losses come with spectacle, as seen in a nail-biting game lost by checkmate only after 19 moves against an equally determined opponent.

Whether it’s bullet, blitz, or the occasional rapid game, Rakshitta Ravi crafts chess into an art form — while keeping a cheeky grin ready, because behind that Woman Grandmaster title lies a player who loves the chaos and drama as much as the calm precision.
