Raahil Mullick - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Raahil Mullick, a chess powerhouse who proudly carries the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. Known on the online battlefield as vohiraa by some and just plain Raahil by others, this player has been raising eyebrows (and chess pieces) since at least 2012.
Raahil's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster, beginning with modest beginnings around a 1162 rapid rating and soaring to a whopping 2167 by 2020. Clearly, they've cracked open the chess growth code, leveling up at an enviable pace.
The Play Style & Stats You Need to Know
- Playing Style: Patient endgame enthusiast – over 65% of games stretch to endgame brilliance. They average around 67 moves to a win, suggesting serious stamina and a flair for marathon matches.
- Comeback King: Raahil bounces back like a rubber ball, boasting an impressive 81.86% comeback rate. Even after losing a piece, they win almost 97.5% of the time – talk about turning lemons into checkmates!
- Winning White, Persistent With Black: White pieces see a 56.38% win rate, Black 50.11%. No piece discrimination here, just solid chessmanship.
- Early Resignations: Only about 10.5% quit the fight prematurely – because giving up is not the IM way.
Format Freak
Whether it's bullet or blitz, Raahil holds their own. Blitz fans might recognize them with a peak rating surpassing 2300, while bullet opponents face a fierce challenger sometimes cracking 2300+ as well. Rapid? A cool 2167 top score. Quick decisions or deep thought, this IM thrives in all time controls.
Winning Streaks & Opponents
Their longest win streak sits at an impressive 24 games – might as well call them the streak master. Currently, Raahil keeps the streak alive with one win, maintaining a fierce competitive spirit. Among the many opponents, some have felt the sting repeatedly, while others... not so much. Sorry, tricky trickytock, Raahil's win rate against you is 0% (yet!).
Chess Sense of Humor
Raahil's psychological resilience is nearly as intimidating as their tactical prowess, with a quirky tilt factor of 13 - meaning they might occasionally grumble at a lost bishop but quickly get back to making your king dance. Prepare for calculated moves peppered with a hint of playfulness, and perhaps the occasional “Oops, did I just blunder?” moment.
In the unpredictable arena of chess, Raahil Mullick stands tall: an International Master who fought hard, calculated harder, and remains forever ready to checkmate your pride.
Feedback for Raahil Mullick
Hi Raahil! Reviewing your recent games, here are some constructive insights to help you enhance your chess skills:
Strengths
- Opening Preparation: You consistently play solid and popular openings such as the Sicilian Defense and Caro-Kann, which set a good foundation for the middlegame.
- Active Piece Play: You demonstrate good understanding of piece activity and coordination, often creating threats with minor pieces (knights and bishops) and centralizing your rooks effectively.
- Capitalizing on Opponent Errors: You effectively take advantage of opponent inaccuracies; several of your wins involved pressing an advantage following a tactical blunder by your opponent.
Areas for Improvement
- Transition from Opening to Middlegame: While your opening moves are sound, occasionally your positions become slightly passive or cramped early on. Focus on opening lines for your bishops and rooks to ensure more dynamic play as the game progresses.
- Pawn Structure and Exchanges: Some losses indicate premature or ill-timed exchanges that allow your opponent to equalize or gain the initiative. Before trading, evaluate if the exchange improves your position strategically or tactically.
- Endgame Technique: Improving your technique in simplified positions can convert more games into wins. For instance, refining your king activity and pawn breakthrough methods will help in close positions.
Specific Suggestions
- Consider studying thematic pawn breaks and pawn structures relevant to your main openings to avoid locked or weak pawn formations.
- Work on tactical puzzles focused on pins, forks, and discovered attacks to sharpen your calculation and spotting opportunities quicker during games.
- Review your losses to identify if time pressure affected decision-making, and try to manage your clock better especially in faster time controls.
Keep up the dedication, and remember consistent practice with focused goals will yield the best improvement. If you'd like, we can analyze particular moments from your recent wins or losses for deeper insights!
