Yasheshwi: The Rapid Rollercoaster

Meet yasheshwi, a chess player whose Rapid rating journey feels like a thrilling rollercoaster — thrilling highs, humbling lows, and everything in between.

Rating Chronicles

Starting at an impressive peak Rapid rating of 265 in August 2024, yasheshwi's ratings have taken a dive, reminding us all that chess is humbling. Despite an average rating settling around 140 in early 2025, this player never gives up — much like their winning streaks (the longest being a modest 3 games) and the battle-worn losing streaks stretching to 7 in a row. Tough times call for tougher moves!

Playing Style & Psychological Profile

Known for resilience, yasheshwi has a comeback rate of nearly 69%! That's right — when things go sideways, this player fights back with a grin (and a clever tactic or two). Early resignations are rare (just above 5%), and the average game length suggests a penchant for drawn-out battles: 40 moves for wins, and an exhausting 58 moves on average for losses. Maybe it’s the thrill of the struggle?

Their favorite time to play is the mystical 2 AM, when the world is asleep and the chessboard lights up with brilliance (or delirium). Be warned, though — their tilt factor of 7 indicates that even chess warriors sometimes feel the heat and might toss a few pawns in frustration.

Opening Repertoire: The Gambit Gambler

A true explorer in the opening book, yasheshwi frequently employs the Scandinavian Defense family and Queen’s Pawn Openings, with mixed results. Their win rates peek around 60-66% in some variations like the Blackmar Gambit and the Scandinavian Defense Classic. However, the Reti Opening seems to have a personal vendetta with zero wins out of six attempts — maybe an opening to avoid or an ongoing experiment in humility.

Opponent Enigma

Interestingly, yasheshwi has faced ashwatthama0 15 times but has yet to score a win there—tough cookie! On the flip side, against lesser-known opponents like davidhiri, the record shines bright with a perfect 100% win rate. Talk about feast or famine!

Recent Battles

In the latest winning game against davidhiri, yasheshwi showcased a masterful execution of the Scandinavian Defense Closed, winning by resignation in under a minute. Their recent losses, though painful, demonstrate fierce competition and great commitment to learning.

Fun Facts

• Most successful on Saturdays (64% win rate) — clearly weekend warrior vibes.
• Best moves come early morning at 2 AM (100% win rate at that hour) — midnight oil fuels their brilliance.
• Loves to finish games with resignation wins (~14 wins), proving opponents often concede to their strategic prowess.

Yasheshwi might not have cracked the Grandmaster code yet, but their journey is a saga of persistence, bold openings, and late-night battles that any aspiring chess hero would admire. With every game, they write a new page of their rapidly evolving chess story.
