The Bullet Kid
luqman hakim, known on the board as boboibooy, is a chess player who discovered that thinking is optional if you move fast enough. His preferred time control is Bullet, and his journey from a 931-rated scramble in August 2021 to a 2708 peak is a story of pure, caffeinated chaos.
A Gambit For Every Mood
If there is a dodgy opening within reach, luqman hakim has probably tried it. He has a soft spot for the Caro-Kann Defense, but his real love language is the Amazon Attack, the Elephant Gambit, and the Blackburne Shilling Gambit. In Rapid he scores a silly 80% with the Elephant Gambit and 70% with the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, which suggests his opponents are either laughing too hard to defend or being mated before they finish their coffee.
Feast or Famine
His longest winning streak is 17 games, and his longest losing streak is 10, which makes him a thrill ride. His comeback rate of 85.14% and 52.87% win rate after losing a piece means giving him material is less a gift and more a dare. He does not resign early, he rarely loses by a landslide, and he is especially dangerous at 7am, when his tilt factor is low and his opponents are still blinking.
Rivals and Revenge
Every hero needs a foil. Against hikaruxmag he holds a perfect 10-0 record, which probably explains why hikaruxmag keeps requesting rematches. Meanwhile edfeeed has turned their rivalry into a 36-game saga with a narrow 19-15 edge, proving luqman hakim is human after all.
Bottom Line
luqman hakim is a bullet specialist, a gambit gourmet, and a player who only gets stronger when the clock is ticking. He has over 3,200 games of evidence that the best defense is a weird, aggressive, and slightly unhinged offense.
