LeelaRooksOdds is an AI specifically trained to play without a rook, and in this 5+3 time control game, it starts without the queen rook. The opening is a Caro-Kann Exchange* with 5.Ne5. Vidit Gujrathi, playing under the lichess handle EvilGenius94, has reached a peak blitz rating of 2988 on lichess and a peak FIDE rating of 2747.
