Peer Mohammad Shaheeb - The Unstoppable Vijaybarkat

Meet Peer Mohammad Shaheeb, or as the chessboard knows him, vijaybarkat – a fighter whose fingers dance on the keyboard with the precision of a grandmaster’s knight maneuvering through the battlefield. With a peak rapid rating of 621 achieved as recently as December 2024, Shaheeb has shown resilience and flair on the virtual 64 squares.

Starting from a modest rating (actually, at some points dipping as low as 100 – we've all had those off days), he bounced back with an average game count in the hundreds, winning nearly as many games as he lost with a near-perfect balance: 1829 wins to 1830 losses in rapid chess. Talk about perseverance! His blitz record might not sparkle (2 losses, no wins), but hey, isn't rapid where the real battles happen?

Shaheeb's style? Early resignations are a rare sight (only 8.79%), and his endgame savvy is impressive – about half his games end up reaching this nerve-testing stage. He tends to play an average of 51 moves to win, proudly proving that patience often outlasts blunders. When playing with white, he holds a slight advantage with a 48.75% win rate and remains competitive with black at 46.58%.

He’s not just a tactician but a psychological gladiator too, boasting a remarkable 61.67% comeback rate after falling behind – if you think you're safe taking a piece off him, think again! And his best chess hours are around 11 AM, so coffee and chess are clearly BFFs in his playbook.

Shaheeb loves the Bishops Opening Boi Variation (where he holds a respectable win rate of about 52%) and also dabble with the Englund Gambit and Scandinavian Defense like a boss. His most memorable recent game was a knockout rapid victory using the Bishops Opening Boi Variation in June 2025, sealing the win gracefully by resignation.

Off the chessboard, you'd probably catch him shrugging off losses with good humor – after all, with a tilt factor of just 9%, he keeps his cool when pawns fly and queens fall. His opponents may frequently wonder, "How does this guy keep bouncing back?" The answer is simple: relentless practice, a pinch of cheeky tactics, and perhaps a secret stash of extra queen sacrifices.

Whether climbing ratings or charming opponents with knight forks and sneaky pins, Peer Mohammad Shaheeb is definitely a player to watch. So next time you see vijaybarkat on the board, get ready for a battle where cunning meets charm – and maybe… a Bishop’s Opening surprise or two!
