Aryan Goenka: The Relentless Templar6 of the Chessboard

Aryan Goenka, known in the chess community as Templar6, is a player whose journey through the 64 squares is as dramatic as a Shakespearean play—full of ups, downs, surprising comebacks, and moments of sheer genius (or sometimes, just sheer stubbornness).

Ratings and Playing Rhythm

Since stepping onto the competitive scene in 2021, Aryan has battled across all time controls. His Blitz rating soared from a modest 303 in 2023 to an impressive peak of 832 in early 2024, showing a rapid improvement akin to a pawn racing toward promotion. His Bullet games, though fewer, reveal a player not afraid to dabble in the fastest form of chess, reaching a max of about 405 rating. For Daily chess, Aryan holds a solid 770 as of 2025, highlighting his patience and strategic depth when time is no enemy.

The Style: Patience, Perseverance, and an Occasional Resignation

With an average of over 75 moves per win and a slightly higher average moves in losses, Aryan exhibits a determined playstyle that rarely concedes easily. His early resignation rate is remarkably low at just 0.66%, indicating he fights for almost every game—a true gladiator!

Interestingly, his endgame frequency is very high at nearly 82%, suggesting Aryan enjoys the cerebral beauty of slowly squeezing out victories in the final stages rather than going for flashy, quick finishes. It's as if he enjoys the suspense... and the occasional latte while waiting for his opponent to slip.

Tactical Wizardry and Psychological Metamorphosis

Aryan’s comeback rate is almost supernatural at over 89%, and he boasts a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Basically, if he loses a knight or a bishop, don’t count him out—he’s probably already plotting your demise.

Of course, even the strongest suffer moments of weakness; his tilt factor scores a modest 10, showing he’s human enough to feel the sting of defeat but keeps it mostly under control.

Favorite Openings: Top Secret, Literally

When it comes to openings, Aryan keeps his strategies shrouded in mystery—classified as "Top Secret". Over 2,600 Blitz games using this unnamed repertoire reveal an almost 46% win rate, a respectable performance showing that curiosity may have previously defeated even his opponents.

Victories and Rivals

Aryan has locked horns most frequently with players like spamboifake and scoowin. Against spamboifake, he has about a 37.5% success rate—implying those clashes are tricky battles full of surprises. His record shows dedication to the game, with over 2400 games played in Blitz alone, and nearly as many wins as losses, proving Templar6 is always inching forward, sometimes sneaking sideways, but rarely backing down.

When Does Aryan Shine?

Analyzing his games over the week, Mondays appear to be his lucky day with a winning rate of around 52%, while his strongest hours tend to be early morning to mid-day with peaks around 6 AM and 2 AM—perhaps fueled by midnight snacks or an early morning caffeine boost. Night owls and morning larks alike beware!

In Summary

Aryan Goenka aka Templar6 is a tenacious, quirky, endgame aficionado who never quits and uses his "Top Secret" chess repertoire to keep opponents guessing. He’s proof that winning isn’t always about the flashiest moves or the quickest checkmate, but about persistence, patience, and just a dash of obsession with the infinite possibilities of the chessboard.

Whether playing bullet like a superhero or grinding out daily games with zen-like calm, Aryan embodies the true spirit of chess: a blend of science, art, and the occasional dramatic flair.
