Meet shyamMajumder, an intrepid Rapid chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares could be described as a heroic saga of perseverance, pizzazz, and occasional puzzlement. Peaking at a Rapid rating of 1010 in April 2025, Shyam’s playstyle reveals a passionate grappling with the complexities of chess — not averse to losses, but never without a spirited fight.

With an overall Rapid record of 34 wins, 51 losses, and 5 draws across 83 games, Shyam hasn’t just played chess — Shyam has tangoed with it. The games often stretch past 40 moves, showing a patience and tenacity that rivals a cat chasing a laser pointer.

Opening Repertoire

A connoisseur of secrecy in openings— Top Secret accounts for the bulk of Shyam's games (82 in total), bringing a win rate of about 33%. But when Shyam switches gears to the Van t Kruijs Opening, a true flash of brilliance emerges with an impressive 80% win rate in 5 games. The rare birds like the French Defense Steinitz Attack, French Defense Normal Variation, and the Reti Opening have all tasted victory, proving Shyam’s versatility.

Playing Style & Psychological Profile

• Best winning streak: 7 consecutive wins — quite the streak for someone who also endured a longest losing streak of 6.
• Strongest side: Black pieces, with a slightly better win rate (41%) compared to White (35%).
• Time to shine: Early mornings (especially 7 AM) seem magical, with a 100% win rate in those quiet hours. Apparently, caffeine and calm mornings are the secret weapons.
• Endgame veteran: Over half of Shyam’s games reach endgame territory, emphasizing resilience and determination.

Not one to easily despair, Shyam boasts a commendable comeback rate of ~56% — bouncing back after slipping behind with a flair that would impress even the most stoic chess coach. But beware the early resignations – about 12% of games end prematurely — impatience or sly tactic? The jury is still out.
