Rohit Singh Bisht: The Unstoppable Underdog

Meet Rohit Singh Bisht, a chess enthusiast who embodies the rollercoaster spirit of the game. Whether blitzing through rapid moves or exploring deep strategic battles, Rohit's journey is anything but boring.

Rating Odyssey

Starting from a modest rating of 467 in blitz back in late 2023, Rohit has steadily climbed the ranks, reaching a peak blitz rating of 686 by May 2025. A similar story unfolds in rapid chess, with a high of 890 in December 2023 and strong showings up through 760 in early 2025. Bullet chess remains a wild ride—sometimes dipping as low as 100, but soaring up to 532 in early 2024. Clearly, Rohit loves speed and surprises!

Playing Style & Mindset

Rohit is the master of dramatic comebacks, boasting an impressive 71.27% comeback rate after a tough spot. Not afraid to lose a piece, with a 44.14% win rate even after such setbacks, this player refuses to give up early despite an 8.41% early resignation rate (hey, even Rohit knows when to save time for the next match!).

Endgames? Bring it on! With over half of his games reaching the endgame phase and average winning games lasting about 56 moves, patience and persistence are key ingredients in Rohit’s formula.

Favorite Openings

Rohit has a quirky taste in openings. The mysterious "Top Secret" opening is surprisingly popular—with over a thousand blitz games played! The Queen's Pawn Opening (Chigorin Variation) and the Indian Game also highlight his tactical repertoire, each boasting over 50% win rates in blitz. Though the Englund Gambit seldom treats him well (14.29% win rate), every grandmaster has their Achilles' heel.

Day & Hour Insights

Most victories come on weekends (Saturday and Sunday win rates hover just above 52%), suggesting Rohit works best when relaxed and maybe after a good cup of coffee. Oddly enough, the best time of day to play is 2 AM—perhaps when the world sleeps, Rohit's chess brain awakens.

Battle Scars and Glories

With nearly as many wins as losses across all time controls (566 wins vs. 563 losses in blitz, 484 vs. 475 in bullet), Rohit’s chess life is a balance of thrilling victories and valuable lessons. His longest winning streak: 10 games — proving resilience; longest losing streak: also 10 games — reminding us that even the best stumble.

Memorable Moment

One of Rohit's recent triumphs was a flashy checkmate using the Queen's Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation (ECO Code: D00). The game showcased strategic finesse and execution sharp enough to seal the victory in under 30 moves. Relive the checkmate here.
