Chamin De Silva (aka SavinuDeSilva): The Relentless Chess Adventurer
Nestled somewhere between blitz blizzard and rapid skirmish, Chamin De Silva dances on the chessboard with a style that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. Known online as SavinuDeSilva, this player has a knack for turning theoretical openings into practical fireworks, with a particular fondness for the Scandinavian Defense Closed and the Bishop's Opening Berlin Defense.

Their preferred playground? The lightning-fast Blitz format, where one victory in a single game can fuel a proud winning streak.
Chamin’s bravado is best captured in their recent games: executing a slick checkmate with the Bishop’s Opening in December 2024, captivating opponents with crafty resignations, and occasionally tapping out under time pressure — hey, everyone enjoys a nail-biting finish! Their longest losing streak may be five games in a row, but with a current winning streak of 1, the comeback spirit is alive and well.
