Vishal Sareen - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Vishal Sareen, a chess player who proudly carries the distinguished title of International Master from FIDE. Whether looming large in Blitz, dazzling in Rapid, or cautiously navigating Bullet games, Vishal's chess journey is a mix of strategic mastery and the occasional rollercoaster ride!

Rating Highlights & Style

• Peak Blitz rating of 2213 in December 2021 - lightning-fast tactics served with a side of cool nerves.
• Rapid peak hit an impressive 2400 back in October 2020 - proving Vishal’s classic skills can stand the test of time.
• Bullet peak rating of 1990 recorded in August 2020 - yes, those frantic seconds add up!

On the Board

Known for endurance and a keen eye, Vishal boasts a comeback rate of nearly 87% - a true phoenix rising from behind material losses. With nearly 68% of games reaching the endgame, Vishal’s patience pays off, averaging over 75 moves per winning game. Maybe the secret lies in the deep thinking (or just sheer stubbornness).

The black pieces are a lucky charm, with a win rate close to 56%! Vishal's early resignation rate is modest at about 6%, proving they’re not one to throw in the towel prematurely—unless it’s to save time for the next thrilling game.

Winning Streaks, Lapses & Opponents

The longest winning streak: an impressive 8 games, showing Vishal can channel their inner chess beast for extended runs. The longest losing streak? Just 5, reminding us even the best stumble occasionally. Current mood? Riding a one-game winning streak, so watch out!

When facing opponents, Vishal enjoys a varied rivalry. Against frequent adversary rosh1610, the record is a tough 38% win rate, but for others like samayraina and phellpsovich, Vishal shows a more comfortable edge. A true testament that every rival brings a different story.

Personality on the Clock

Vishal’s psychological trends reveal a calm genius with a tilt factor of just 5 (low enough to keep friends around). The best time to witness the magic? Sharp at 2 PM, when focus reaches peak levels and the clock’s enemy suddenly becomes just a number. Not so fun fact: the win rate dips noticeably on Thursdays. Maybe a weekly coffee run could help?

Recent Battles

The most recent victory came in a tactical duel against AMZ2106, showcasing Vishal’s deep understanding of the Sicilian Defense, forcing a resignation after precise moves and clever positioning. Moments later, however, even the best stumble as the clock runs out in a loss to Zedacebola, and an intense time scramble spell against RobM83 decided another game.

In Summary

Vishal Sareen is no ordinary chess player—an International Master with a knack for dramatic comebacks, deep endgames, and a streaky but thrilling career. If you catch them online, expect strategy, a sprinkle of surprises, and maybe a little laughter when the bullet games get frantic. Watch out, chess world: vishalsareen is playing!
