Shivam Sharma - The Chess Enthusiast with a Tactical Flair

Meet Shivam Sharma, or as he's known in the chess world, shivam0710 — a player who’s been shaking up the chessboard since 2020 with a steady climb in Rapid rating from a modest 825 to a striking 1605 by 2025. Not bad for someone who probably spent half his games thinking hard and the other half wondering if he left the stove on.

Shivam’s journey through Blitz and Bullet chess tells the tale of a player who loves fast-paced, adrenaline-filled battles. With Blitz ratings peaking at 1312 and Bullet maxing out at 636, he’s no stranger to chaos and quick decisions, though his Daily chess games suggest he's a casual competitor on the side (with just a handful under his belt).

His favorite weapon? A mysterious opening known only as Top Secret — an opening so elusive, opponents are left scratching their heads as Shivam racks up nearly 7,000 games in Rapid alone, boasting an almost respectable ~47% win rate across all time controls. He’s a strategist who believes in consistency and endurance rather than flash and dazzle.

Mathematically minded and psychologically resilient, Shivam exhibits a comeback rate of 78.34% and a perfect win rate after losing a piece - testament to his never-back-down attitude. With a notorious tilt factor of 15, he’s certainly human, occasionally frustrated when his opponent pulls off sneaky tricks.

When it comes to endgames, Shivam is in the zone, engaging in them in over 70% of his games, making the final board battles his playground. His games tend to be lengthy affairs, averaging about 67 moves when victorious and about 70 moves in defeat, meaning he likes to drag out the suspense — possibly to keep his audience entertained or to sneak in a late coffee break.

His winning percentage plays slightly better with the White pieces (48.85%) compared to Black (45.51%), making him a classic “dice roll” player with an edge of strategic patience.

Off the board, Shivam’s opponent list is a colorful mosaic, from newbies to consistent rivals like “piresloeee” (whom he’s battled over 30 times), ensuring no rivalry gets too boring. Friendly banter and fierce competition coexist, making his chess life as vibrant as his style.

In conclusion, Shivam Sharma is the kind of player who embodies the spirit of chess: a blend of serious thought, occasional blunders, fantastic comebacks, and a bit of mystery. Whether he's executing a secret opening or laughing off a loss, one thing’s for sure — the game isn’t over until Shivam says it’s over.
