Divyaansh Bhanushali (aka Rosto1201) - Chess Profile
Meet Divyaansh Bhanushali, a rapid-fire tactician with a rapid rating peak of 310 in June 2025 and a daily chess beast boasting a whopping 546 rating. Known in the chess circles as Rosto1201, they juggle wins, losses, and draws with a near-perfect blend of grit and occasional graceful resignations.
Playing Style & Stats
Divyaansh's style is an intriguing cocktail of patience and daring. With an early resignation rate of about 19.3%, it seems Divyaansh isn't afraid to admit "Okay, you got me" when needed — a refreshing honesty rare in the chess world. Their average game length hovers around 50 moves, signaling a love for the deep end of endgames (frequently reaching them in 50.6% of games!).
They have a classic preference for the King's Pawn Opening and its Knight Variation, where Divyaansh shines with a win rate above 54%. The ever-fierce Petrov's Defense and the Pirc Defense Modern are also within their bag of chess tricks, with win-rates that suggest they’re pretty comfortable in the trenches.
Battle Record
With a rapid win-loss-draw record nearly balanced at 217-223-52, Divyaansh is no stranger to tough battles. Their bullet chess, however, tells a different story — a tough start with zero wins and five losses on record, suggesting that maybe bullet speed isn’t their natural habitat. On the bright side, daily chess has yielded a perfect record so far!
Recent Highlights
June 3rd, 2025 was a particularly good day. Divyaansh clinched a memorable victory against Mr_Joker-64 after a fascinating game starting with the King’s Pawn Opening (link here). The game had all the thrills of a Hollywood drama — knights repositioning like secret agents, a queen’s daring queen-side assault, and a resignation that left the opponent shaking their head in disbelief.
Psychological Insight & Fun Facts
Our player's psychological resilience is impressive, sporting a comeback rate of nearly 62%! Even when losing a piece, they've been known to fight back 37% of the time—enough to make opponents sweat a little. However, a tilt factor of 7 warns of some frustration during rough patches — hey, even the best have their "off" days when chess pieces just don’t listen.
