About Shakshi Sharma (sharmsha)

Meet Shakshi Sharma, better known in the chess world as sharmsha, a rapid chess enthusiast whose ratings tell a tale of valiant battles and quirky resilience. With a peak rapid rating of 691 achieved in July 2021, Shakshi has shown flashes of brilliance even if the scoreboard sometimes tells a different story.

Shakshi’s journey in rapid chess is a rollercoaster - 53 games played, 13 victories claimed, and a hearty share of 38 losses with 2 draws sprinkled in. The win rate hovers around 25%, which means for every three games, one is a triumph and the others... well, valuable lessons wrapped in checkmate.

Known for experimenting with “unknown openings” (maybe just to keep opponents guessing or perhaps to hereby invent new theories), Shakshi’s longest winning streak is a steady 3 games, though an 8-game losing streak shows that patience and persistence are the real chess masters here.

Playing Style and Quirks

• Early resignation rate: About 10.5%. Sometimes life’s too short to watch a king dance around doomed squares.
• Endgame frequency: Nearly half the games, showing stamina when it counts.
• Average moves per win: Around 22 — quick and decisive when victory is in reach.
• Average moves per loss: A marathon 53 moves — a true fighter who stays until the final pawn falls.

Despite the downs, Shakshi’s tactical awareness is commendable — a 38% comeback rate hints at a player who’s not shy to claw back from adversity. And while the win rate after losing a piece is modest (~12%), it’s all part of the learning curve.

Peak Moments

Shakshi’s most recent win came with the white pieces in a Dutch Defense battle, swiftly claiming victory by resignation. They’re not afraid to seize the moment — from playing the queen’s pawn gambits to shutting down opponents on time or by forcing resignations.

On the flip side, losses to respected rivals like TheIronBet show that there’s room to grow, but every misstep is just fuel for the next big comeback.
