Dhumralochana

Who Dhumralochana is

Dhumralochana, the smoke-eyed, was the first general Shumbha sent against the Goddess, commanded to drag her to him by the hair if she would not come willingly. With sixty thousand asuras he climbed the Himalaya and threatened her. The Goddess simply uttered the syllable 'hum' and burned him to ashes on the spot, while her lion destroyed his army.

“Come quietly, or I will drag you. This will not take long.”

How Dhumralochana plays chess

Overconfident from the first move: a brash early attack that collapses against a calm defence.

The Classicist: Sound, balanced chess: develops, castles and takes what the position offers.

Opening repertoire: Early Queen Attack · Parham Attack · Napoleon Attack

Defeat Dhumralochana in a full game from the normal starting position to earn the achievement Turned to Ash and open the way to the next guardian.
