Vikas Rawat (vikkurawat): A Chess Biography
In the grand ecosystem of online chess, Vikas Rawat, known by the username vikkurawat, prowls the 64-square board with a tactical awareness sharp enough to make a rook blush. His journey through the ranks has been a fascinating biological experiment in adaptation and resilience — much like a chess-playing chameleon blending defense and offense.
Evolution of the Rating
Starting with a rapid rating of 1333 in early 2024 (with a few losses that left no offspring — zero wins in that first batch!), Vikas has experienced the ebb and flow of the chess tide.
By 2025, his daily rating peaked at 1659 after just three fierce battles, achieving two wins and one loss — proving his cells regenerate stronger under pressure. However, his rapid rating faced a bit of a genetic bottleneck, shrinking to 589 with room to grow.
Playing Style: The Chess Cell Biology
With an endgame frequency of 63.39%, Vikas clearly enjoys those late-stage cell divisions — patiently breaking down his opponent's defenses with an average 45.6 moves to victory. His early resignation rate is a modest 3.54%, indicating a resilient mitochondria-like energy that rarely surrenders prematurely. When it comes to recovering from damage, Vikas exhibits an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece — talk about cellular regeneration!
Opening Repertoire: Branching Out
- King's Pawn Opening: Played 14 times with a 43% win rate – the classical nucleus of his opening DNA.
- Vienna Game: With a 50% success rate, Vikas knows how to use this to replicate advantage early on.
- Scandinavian Defense (Closed and open): Though less frequent, it’s a fascinating variation in his genome.
- And a variety of others, including the Pirc Defense, Alekhine’s Defense, and Reti Opening – showcasing a diverse gene pool of strategies.
Psychological Adaptations & Tendencies
Vikas has a tilt factor of 9, suggesting he feels the heat but doesn’t undergo cell rupture easily. His comeback rate is an astounding 52.54%, consistently rising from the apoptotic brink to reclaim victory.
Sunday and Saturday are his peak times to strike, with win rates soaring above 30%, while his most lethal hours are early morning hours (4 AM!) with a whopping 62.5% win rate — a nocturnal predator in the chess biosphere!
Opponent Encounters and Survival Rates
His recent prey includes farsanando and nettersanatomy, where he boasts a clean 100% win rate — showing dominance over certain species in the chess ecosystem. However, some opponents like muh4h4 and harshi_acchu have pushed him to the edge, marking future areas of evolutionary pressure.
In short, Vikas Rawat is a resilient and constantly evolving organism in the digital biosphere of chess. While his rating genome fluctuates, his strategic DNA ensures he remains a formidable opponent, always ready to metabolize lessons from each game and mutate into a better player.
