Dr Shivkumar Shivaji (sshivaji) - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Dr Shivkumar Shivaji, a chess virtuoso endowed with the prestigious title of FIDE Master. A player whose rating graph looks like a thrilling rollercoaster—except with fewer screams and more tactical brilliance.

Playing Statistics & Style

Dr Shivaji’s bullet chess prowess has catapulted them to an impressive peak rating above 2200, with a blitz rating hovering similarly high—proving that when the clock ticks fast, it’s not just the minutes that fly, but the foes’ hopes as well. Over thousands of games, they have racked up nearly 8,200 wins in bullet and 4,600 in blitz, blending speed and precision like a true grandmaster of rapid-fire calculation.

Known for an Early Resignation Rate of just 0.2%, Dr Shivaji clearly dislikes surrendering — unless it’s to a cleverly disguised trap. Their average winning games last around 68 moves, showcasing a surgical approach to endgames. With a high Endgame Frequency of 78%, the doc is probably more comfortable wielding a bishop against a knight than many of us are juggling coffee cups in the morning.

• Other favorite lines include the Scandinavian Defense, Modern Defense, and the various Sicilian Defense attacks, proving versatility and fearless exploration.

Tactical Genius & Psychological Fortitude

Dr Shivaji's game is not just about pieces, but also about psychology. With a remarkable comeback rate of 84.45% and a flawless win rate after losing a piece (100%), this is one player who never truly gives up — perhaps because they forgot the resignation shortcut or because they enjoy the thrill of drama. Their tilt factor is incredibly low at 10, indicating a calm mind that keeps cool under pressure and thrives in chaos.

Daily Routine & Peak Performance

Most wins occur on Monday and Thursday, where a near 58% win rate applies, probably aided by a fresh coffee and a good night's sleep. Hour-wise, early mornings (around 1 AM) and noon (12 PM) are their magic hours, boasting win rates above 59% and even 60%! A chess wizard who perhaps moonlights as a time traveler or just really loves puzzles at odd hours.

Recent Battles

The latest victory was a masterpiece in the Sicilian Defense Chekhover Variation, winning by resignation after a fierce fight. Dr Shivaji wielded the white pieces with a decisive attack that left their opponent no choice but to bow down.
Losses are rare and usually come after intense battles against strong competition, such as a recent game where the opponent managed to overcome the formidable defenses set by the doc.

Fun Fact

If chess were a medical practice, Dr Shivaji would be the surgeon mending broken kings and recovering from lost material with a 100% success rate. Their tactical awareness level? Off the charts. Their patience for blunders? About as high as a knight’s hop.

All hail Dr Shivkumar Shivaji — part grandmaster, part gamer, part tactician, and entirely unstoppable when on the board!
