Vijayalakshmi Subbaraman - The International Master with a Blitz Flair
Meet Vijayalakshmi Subbaraman, an International Master recognized by FIDE, and an absolute force to reckon with on the 64 squares. While the chess world knows many for their patience and deep positional play, Vijayalakshmi prefers the adrenaline-pumping rapid and blitz formats – probably because who doesn’t love a little chaos and speed with their strategy?
Vijayalakshmi’s blitz rating has soared to an impressive 2664 in 2025, showcasing their quick wit and lightning-quick calculation skills. Not one to shy away from bullet chess either, their peak bullet rating hit 2555 recently, a testament to fingers faster than a caffeinated squirrel. Daily chess might be slower paced for them, but with perfect scores in their rare games, it’s obvious they can turn it on whenever they want.
With a whopping 37-game winning streak under their belt, Vijayalakshmi has shown the mental fortitude of a seasoned grandmaster. Their “Comeback Rate” of 91.55% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece demonstrates a champion who never gives up – quite possibly shouting, “You lose a bishop? Watch me win anyway!” to their opponents.
They tend to play long battles as evidenced by an average of over 75 moves per win, proving that patience and perseverance still have a place in rapid and blitz chess. While not immune to tilt – with a Tilt Factor of 9 – Vijayalakshmi's focus and tactical awareness more than compensate, making any slump a temporary hiccup.
Opponents beware! Vijayalakshmi has a killer winning percentage against a daunting list of rival usernames, with some unfortunate folks seeing a 0% win rate against them (looking at you, taro_sakamoto_2009, and friends). Their favorite opening? Well, that remains classified as Top Secret – because why reveal your chess secrets when you’re crushing the competition?
Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or the even calmer daily chess game, Vijayalakshmi Subbaraman is a skillful tactician and entertainer on the digital chessboard—ready to blitz you into oblivion or patiently outplay you in a marathon of moves. Just don’t blink, or you’ll miss the checkmate.
