Tarun Rajdev (Username: TR0005)

Meet Tarun Rajdev, a rapid and blitz chess aficionado who dances on the 64 squares with a rating rollercoaster worthy of a thrilling novel. Although Tarun’s peak rapid rating touched a modest 289 in May 2025, and the blitz rating soared impressively to 409, it’s clear this player brings both grit and flair to the board.

Playing Style & Stats

Tarun’s games usually stretch to about 53 moves in victory and even longer in defeat, hinting at a fighter who doesn’t give up easily — unless it’s the early resignation 11% of the time, when even a genius knows it’s time to call it quits early and save brain cells for the next battle.

With nearly equal success playing White or Black (winning at about 41% for each), Tarun reveals a balanced approach to the game. Those who think Tarun folds under pressure haven’t seen the remarkable comeback rate of 88%! Losing a piece doesn’t always mean losing the game here — Tarun wins over 40% of those awkward spots where the material count looks grim.

Opening Repertoire

Tarun’s favorite rapid openings include the Englund Gambit, where the win rate is a spicy 62.5%, and the King’s Pawn Opening with a respectable 44% success. But beware if you face the Scandinavian Defense — Tarun hasn’t exactly made friends there, with only a 23% win rate. Chess is a battlefield, after all.

A Glimpse of Recent Battles

June 2025 was a rollercoaster month: Tarun recently clinched a brilliant win against the user quackimaduk by resignation, showcasing both tactical sharpness and patience. But the tides turn sometimes; losses against opponents like maryamghsn confirm that even chess warriors find their match now and then.
