Soham Das - The Chess Maestro Known as Touching3200

Meet Soham Das, the cunning International Master who can make a chessboard look like their own personal playground. Known by the enigmatic username Touching3200, Soham has taken the chess world by storm, showing off a tactical prowess that's as sharp as a knight fork and a sense of humor as sly as a well-timed queen sacrifice.

Chess Journey and Credentials

Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, Soham is no stranger to high-stakes competitions. With a peak blitz rating soaring above 2500 and bullet rating touching 2410 back in 2019 and 2020 respectively, they've proven to be a formidable force in the frantic world of fast-paced chess.

Playing Style - Endgames and Comebacks

Soham's style? Imagine a blend of patience, precision, and a dash of theatrical flair. They favor endgames, playing nearly 68% of their games until the last pieces stand. With an impressive comeback rate of 80% and nearly half their wins coming after losing a piece, “Touching3200” thrives under pressure and doesn't give up until the opponent's king is cornered and begging for mercy.

Fast and Furious: Bullet & Blitz Stats

Whether it's the blitz arena or the bullet battleground, Soham is in their element. Their bullet peak rating was a sizzling 2410 with an unbeaten opening secret weapon boasting a 75% win rate! Blitz is no less thrilling, with over seventy games played in a tough 50% win ratio. While losses happen occasionally (a mere 34 in blitz!), Soham keeps the spirits high with streaks of 6 consecutive wins—who says chess isn’t addictive?

Psychology & Quirks

The mysterious "Tilt Factor" is low-ish at 6, but Soham’s best time to wreak havoc on the chessboard is bright and early – around 6 AM. Clearly, there's a secret morning chess magic brewing there! And for the record, resignation isn’t on the menu too often; they prefer to battle it out and collect wins by forcing opponents to wave the white flag.

Memorable Games

Among recent triumphant battles is a memorable blitz victory over a very respectable 2883-rated opponent, sealed with a graceful resignation. You can witness the finesse with the famous game here, where patience and skill met in harmonious checkmate.

In a Nutshell

Soham Das is not just an International Master; they’re a chess adventurer, turning pawns into glory stories and games into epic sagas. Wrestling kings out of their castles and delivering knightly justice with flair, they keep opponents guessing and fans cheering — all while logging those precious early-morning wins!
