Who are the top 5 Chaturaji players of all time?

So, the basic idea here is that we list what we think the best 5 Chaturaji players are all of time!

Now you may think "it says that in the title duh^^" that this should be split between fast and slow play type categories but unfortunately for you, I've already thought of that so stop stealing my ideas.  

First list the top 5 blitz players then separately list the top 5 hyper players, if you feel it's necessary then you may place a player in both lists. Feel free to add notes to your rankings. 

Here are my top 5 blitz players: 

1. VEPOS (VEPOS has maintained high form throughout his whole period of play and held the top place on the leaderboard with a consistency unseen in most variants. He is also the only player to have reached a rating of over 2800 (blitz))

2. Arseny_Vasily (Arseny was completely dominant when I started playing chaturaji nearly 2 years ago. He reached a rating of 2700 or so but then left for a long period of hiatus after which he was a tad rusty. Still a great player) 

3. hest1805 (Hest helped develop Chaturaji as we play it (altering the basic blueprint into a playable online variant) and for a period of time was unbeatable. He still maintains an in depth knowledge of how the game works and his high score was somewhere in the mid 2700s) 

4. Suneth (Suneth was (and is) a top Four Player Chess player (as were/are Arseny and hest) and when he dedicated himself to Chaturaji he rapidly became one of the most solid unbeatable opponents possible. Suneth's top rating was somewhere around the 2700 mark)   

5. IHaveTheSauce (Sauce was a top player when I started playing and still is do this day which definitely indicates a certain amount of perseverance considering his evident lack of aptitude for the game (Just kidding, don't worry, Sauce😛) he recently crossed the 2700 rating barrier making him one of the all time highest rated players.) 

(edit: I have recently been informed of a player called "ferdinator344" who has risen above the 2800 rating mark in my absence, they would definitely be on this list in one of the top 3 spots but as of yet I have not analysed any play and don't really want to make a decision 😛)

So that in my opinion is the list of the best Chaturaji blitz players (I may come back and edit this in the future) 

Here it is for hyper (bearing in mind I will be talking about Variants Hyper Chaturaji as opposed to the old four player chess version, Hyper fiesta (there are just too many players)):

I won't write as much for these guys as this was not intended to be a blog 😁

1. BoxJellyFishChess (was and is a top hyper player, virtually unbeatable and still holds the server high score of 2700+ hyper chaturaji) 

2. ChessMasterGS (super quick player with a tendency to troll (I hate dying to trolls -.-) who has maintained a reputation as one of the best hyper players as long as I've known him) 

3. Me (😂, I was pretty good at my best, let's admit it.) 

4. Soundlord1 (I used to get this fear reaction whenever I played with Soundlord he's genuinely scary lol) 

5. TwinTrick (Although Twin hasn't played in a very long time, he was most definitely a force to be reckoned with in the good old days, his high-score, albeit lower than the rest on the list was respectable (he held #1 for some time) and would most certainly be higher if he were still active and accounting for some rating inflation.) 

Ok so that's it for now, I look forward to seeing your top players list! 

"People used to laugh at me when I would say "I want to be a comedian", well nobody's laughing now." 

(Sorry for posting this in multiple places, just realised that I hadn't posted this here) 

wow you did much work for this

but the short wander is: me

why are we forgetting box's 3000 hyper just by playing chaturaji?

also you realize i was better than soundlord

unfortunately since everyone forgot chaturaji theory and I haven't adapted to new strategies I don't think I'm one of the best anymore 😂

There was a pretty good player named TheWitchKing who was pretty good

yeah ferdinator hit 2800 also haha why are you insulting me 

lol, I got 2500 in hyp once (Atreides21)

I remember twin, me and him kept up a race, one day id be 1# in chatuaji hyp next day hed be 1#

wait VEPOS is Suneth? and Suneth got banned? for what

and i remember pallasam was the guy that cheated in chaturaji so if Suneth is pallasam that explains it...

bro ngl back in my day it was either me or box holding #1 in chaturaji those were the good ol days

now you've got random 1800s who don't understand ffa at all let alone chaturaji

it's impossible to get back to 2500 at this rate

agreed

everything was so much better before the huge server change, hyper was fun and less laggy

Hyper is still fun, lag has been fixed, no?
Blitz is very inflated though

For the most part, yes, but it’s more that nobody is playing and that high school and university is bearing down on most of the top players lol

Exactly lol, I for one have less time on my hands
