Ravi Sekhar Reddy - The Chess Maverick
Meet Ravi Sekhar Reddy, known in chess circles (and online leaderboards) as ravisekharareddy, a player whose journey is as dynamic as a knight’s zigzag across the board. From the humble beginnings of sub-1100 ratings in Blitz and Bullet back in 2018, Ravi has steadily climbed the ranks, proving that patience and persistence pay off—just not when it comes to early resignations (he holds a respectable 17.81% on that front, because who likes losing gracefully anyway?).
Ravi’s style? Let’s just say he enjoys a good endgame, with nearly 63.45% of his games reaching those thrilling finish lines. His average game length suggests a careful, measured approach: nearly 69 moves to victory, savoring every calculated step, and about 59 moves to the loss — which, being honest, says he fights hard even when the chips are down.
Speaking of comebacks, Ravi is a magician in adversity. With an incredible 82.09% comeback rate, and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece, it turns out losing a bishop or knight is just a new challenge, not a defeat. Chess anxiety? Pfft. His tilt factor is a modest 10, meaning he keeps his cool enough to keep puzzling out opponents at every hour of the day (well, except 1 AM and 2 AM, where his stellar 0% win rate suggests sleep wins).
Ratings-wise, Ravi’s Rapid chess has been a dance of improvement: from a starting point around 1348 in 2020 up to a strong 1547 by 2022. Blitz is his playground, boasting a max of 1517 and nearly 61% win-rate with his favorite "Top Secret" opening—because hey, who reveals their opening secrets? Not this guy. In fact, with 64 games played on this opening in Blitz alone and 39 wins, it’s clear that “Top Secret” is more than just a name; it's a winning formula.
Interestingly, Ravi’s performance varies wildly by opponent – undefeated against some (looking at you, vinso0kk and manikantabarla369!) but struggling against others (sorry, mahitha_123!). Whether it’s rapid-fire Blitz or the more ponderous Daily mode, Ravi’s records tell a story of a player who doesn’t just play chess, but battles personalities and styles.
Off the clock, Ravi's favorite days for winning appear to be Sundays and Thursdays, and his top hours show a peak mid-morning or early evening—prime brainpower hours. Early mornings? Not so much. But let’s be real, who’s expecting chess brilliance at 5 AM?
In short:
- Longest winning streak: A mighty 7 games, proving he knows what sunshine feels like on the chessboard.
- Most played opponents: Frequent face-offs against nukalaasya and leelakumar888 show his competitive spirit.
- Playing style: Calculated, endgame-focused, and resilient with a sprinkle of “never say die!”
So whether you find yourself facing Ravi Sekhar Reddy across the virtual board or just cheering from the sidelines, remember: this player embodies the essence of chess — strategy, endurance, and maybe a little bit of mystery. And he might just resign early if the coffee’s not strong enough. ☕♟️
