Ravi Nelwade: The Top Secret Chess Connoisseur

Meet Ravi Nelwade, also known in the chess realm as ravinelwade, a Rapid chess enthusiast who’s been navigating the 64 squares with a curious blend of steady persistence and a pinch of mystery. With a peak Rapid rating of 1448 back in 2022 and an impressive comeback to 1206 by 2025, Ravi’s journey is as dynamic as an unpredictable Sicilian Defense.

Stats at a Glance

• Games Played: Over 1,000 Rapid battles fought (and survived!)
• Win/Loss/Draw: Nearly even at 514 wins, 513 losses, and 20 draws – making every match a nail-biting thriller
• Longest Winning Streak: A confident 8-game run proving sometimes the stars align in your favor
• Current Winning Streak: Riding momentum with a fresh 3-game streak, watch out opponents!

Playing Style & Quirks

Ravi’s style is a curious cocktail:

• Prefers to play long games, averaging about 53 moves in wins and 65 moves in losses – a true marathoner in a world of sprinters.
• Despite a near-clone score sheet with wins and losses, the Psychological Tilt Factor is notably low at 7 – so if you beat him, don’t expect him to throw his mouse across the room!
• Remarkably, after losing a piece, Ravi’s comeback rate soars to a stellar 100%. When the chips are down, he’s just getting started.
• Early resignation is practically extinct in his territory with less than 1% resignation rate – if he’s in, he’s in for a fight!
• Dominates the game with white pieces a bit more successfully at a 52.4% win rate compared to 45.82% with black.

The Secret Sauce: Openings

His favorite opening is ironically titled "Top Secret", played across 1047 games with a near 50% win rate. Maybe he’s just keeping his opponents guessing—or maybe the name is a clever bluff!

Victory Over Friends (and Foes)

Ravi is not just an average player; he's got a special knack for certain opponents:

• Has a 100% win rate against many frequent rivals including vadevenirlemeilleurjoueur, azmer11, jamal12566, and the mysteriously infrequently defeated opxo (60% win rate).
• Some rivalries are tougher—like with domuzime, where the win rate drops to a modest 14% (we all have that one pesky friend!).

Timing is Everything

Ravi’s best showings occur in the evening hours, peaking around 17:00 with nearly 60% wins, and the small hours of 3AM where his sharp night owl instincts shine with an astounding 66% win rate. Weekends and Saturdays bring out his best too, with a nearly 54% win rate on Saturdays.

In Conclusion

Whether it’s his “Top Secret” openings, his legendary comebacks, or simply his love for battling long games, Ravi Nelwade remains a fascinating chess adventurer. He proves that chess isn't just about ratings—but about resilience, brains, and a pinch of mystery wrapped in the perfect storm of a pawn push.
