- 🔭 I’m currently working on Lichess bot enhancements, game metrics database trackers, and coordinate-grid system configurations.
- 🌱 I’m currently learning Python, SQL, Arduino, Scala and TypeScript.
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on Open-source chess engine frameworks, microservices scripting toolsets, and big-data pipelines.
- 🤔 I’m looking for help with Raspberry Pi GPIO pin mapping, motor actuation drivers, and custom circuit design schemas.
- 💬 Ask me about chess or coding. Or math or physics (especially quantum!) or chemistry or geography. I'm happy to help!

Hi there! I'm Aarav Patel, a 13-year-old student, competitive chess player, and programming hobbyist. I am deeply passionate about advanced Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Geography. Later in life, I aim to build my career as a Software Engineer or a Quantum Scientist, where I can play around with the absolute best concept in physics: Qubits and quantum superposition!
Most of my code is born out of intense vibe-coding, direct debugging sessions, and curious late-night YouTube rabbit holes (like that time I saw a video on Brainfk, copied a Hello World routine into PowerShell, and moved on). I follow WittyAlien and GothamChess on YouTube, and I casually ran into Thibault Duplessis (the creator of Lichess) himself to chat about the open-source lila ecosystem!
I absolutely detest dry, slow, passive positional chess by a massive mile. My opening repertoire is built entirely on maximum chaos and sharp complications. Below are my top 30 favourite openings, sorted by performance metrics:
| Rank | Opening Name | Win Rate | Games | Rank | Opening Name | Win Rate | Games |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stern (Sturm) Gambit ⚔️ | 67.67% | 965 | 16 | Nakhmonson Gambit | 53.52% | 182 |
| 2 | Halasz Gambit 🚀 | 65.34% | 1,082 | 17 | Urusov Gambit | 53.27% | 69 |
| 3 | Von Der Lasa Gambit | 64.21% | 167 | 18 | Latvian Gambit (Alpha) | 53.14% | 888 |
| 4 | Scotch Gambit | 61.08% | 420 | 19 | Goring Gambit | 53.07% | 109 |
| 5 | King’s Gambit | 59.76% | 100 | 20 | Halloween Gambit 🎃 | 53.03% | 68 |
| 6 | Vienna Gambit | 57.77% | 121 | 21 | Colorado Gambit | 52.99% | 654 |
| 7 | Bishop’s Opening | 56.99% | 95 | 22 | Stafford Gambit | 52.91% | 122 |
| 8 | Danish Gambit | 56.94% | 234 | 23 | Schara-Henning Gambit | 52.80% | 76 |
| 9 | Ponziani Opening | 56.45% | 165 | 24 | Wagner-Zucker Gambit | 52.64% | 97 |
| 10 | Smith-Morra Gambit | 55.55% | 196 | 25 | Omega Gambit | 52.55% | 116 |
| 11 | Alapin Opening | 55.30% | 101 | 26 | Latvian Gambit (Beta) | 52.38% | 109 |
| 12 | Falkbeer Countergambit | 55.19% | 132 | 27 | Muzio Gambit | 52.22% | 96 |
| 13 | Alien Gambit 🛸 | 54.34% | 164 | 28 | Max Lange Attack | 52.13% | 444 |
| 14 | Benko Gambit | 53.85% | 139 | 29 | Staunton Gambit | 52.03% | 65 |
| 15 | Evans Gambit | 53.55% | 87 | 30 | Traxler Counterattack 💥 | 51.76% | 112 |
Note: Aggressive g4 thrusts yield a higher live win percentage for me than opening up with standard, dry positional setup lines like d4 or d4-d5 arrays!
- Tech Stack Matrix: Python (Core), Scala (Exploratory), SQL (DBeaver schemas), JSON/YAML (Configs), PowerShell (
pip/iex-irm) - Autonomous Chessboard: Designing a Raspberry Pi (Zero W or 4) physical board that mirrors live server match data over APIs, actuates movement coordinates underneath using custom motors, and running rule filters to completely cancel out illegal moves.
- Infinite Chess Engines: Planning to leverage unbounded grid matrix calculations inspired by Math Olympiad grid structures to script logical chess rule sets that completely discard the traditional 8 × 8 board borders.
