The Blitz Monarch
Suraj Ramanathan, known online as Suraj240704, is a National Master who treats Blitz like a love language. For over a decade he has collected games the way other people collect stamps: thousands of them, almost 18,000 in rated Blitz alone. The blitz clock is his natural habitat, and his peak rating of 2748 (2026-05-09) is a small hint that his hobby has become a serious art.
An Opening Relationship
If you look at his opening history, it reads like a comedy of repetition. He has booked Amar Gambit into memory, which is already a bold statement. He also answers the world with the stubborn Czech Defense, and when he feels fancy, he walks straight into the Sicilian Defense. Together, these openings form a mosh pit for blitz players who love a struggle until the very last second.
Long Story Short
He came up from the low 1300s and never boasted. But the record speaks:
is a monument of swallowing web chess sites. Some players suffer from a hunger for premature resignations. Suraj only resigns early in 1.02% of serious positions, which means his opponents have to actually finish the null.When he falls behind, he fights. His comeback: 87.18%, which is practically "you need to beat me twice". His longest winning streak: 21, and no amount of tilted afternoons have broken him.
The Rival
Every warrior needs a worthy enemy? Meet Max, his most faced opponent with 166 meetings. These two are not casual; they have basically been roommates on the server.
Final Moves
If you're sleepy and it's around 8 AM, be aware: these numbers say he's at his best. A quick glance at
will reveal that the Amar Gambit remains a pet project, so keep an espresso ready.
