Utkarsh Awasthi

Player Biography: utkarshawasthy

Meet utkarshawasthy, a chess warrior whose journey on the 64 squares is as colorful as a box of chess pieces tossed in a blender! Known for a fierce love of Rapid time controls, this player has experienced every emotion chess can offer: thrilling victories, tough losses, and occasional drama that only a 600-second clock can motivate.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting modestly with a rapid rating hovering around 500 in early 2024, utkarshawasthy’s skills rocketed to an impressive peak of 864 in June 2025. Forget smooth sailing — the rating graph looks like a wild roller coaster ride, filled with steep climbs and sudden drops. Bullet and Blitz formats tell a tale of gritty battles, with bullet peaks near 547 and blitz topping out at 367. Daily chess remains more of a curious side quest, with a consistent 400 rating.

Winning Battles & Tough Lessons

The stats don't lie: with 155 wins in Rapid and a respectable win rate hovering around 56% when opening with King’s Pawn, utkarshawasthy is not just a casual player but a relentless tracker of sharp tactics and clever maneuvers. The infamous Alekhine’s Defense is a personal playground, boasting a flawless 100% win rate from six games — yes, those opponents probably still have PTSD.

Playing Style & Personality

This player trusts the Power of Patience, averaging about 41 moves to victory, but can also turn on the heat with aggressive bursts when it counts. White pieces bring the sunshine: nearly 60% win rate! Black pieces are fought with grit, not giving up a lot but with a slightly lower success percentage.

Psychology is key: a tilt factor of 11 means the occasional mood swing is real — rage-quitting or surrendering is barely on the menu, with a low resignation rate. The best moments are apparently near 16:00 hours, where tactical awareness, comeback magic, and accurate moves shine brightest.
