Nhất Nguyễn Hữu: The Unassuming Chess Adventurer

Meet Nhất Nguyễn Hữu, a chess player whose rating chronicles resemble a rollercoaster – but hey, who said chess had to be boring? In 2025, Nhất's rapid rating peaked impressively at 1209 before settling at a humble 507, showing a journey full of fierce battles (and some humbling losses) across 86 rapid games.

With a blitz rating around the 387 mark and bullet hovering near 466, Nhất isn’t winning every game, but certainly embraces the chaos of fast-paced chess with hearty enthusiasm. Never one to shy away from tricky openings, Nhất’s favorite rapid gambit might just be the Scandinavian Defense - boasting a solid 80% win rate there. (Watch out!) The Polish Opening is another frequent battleground, though its 45% win rate suggests some thrilling back-and-forth tussles.

When it comes to bullet and blitz, the story gets spicier. Nhất scored perfect 100% win rates in a handful of specialized openings like the Polish Opening Czech Defense and even pulled off a 100% success in a Center Game Accepted blitz match, proving that sometimes, lightning really does strike twice.

Style & Strategy

Nhất might not always conquer, but never goes down without a fight. With an extraordinary 78.12% comeback rate and perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, this player has a knack for turning the tables against the odds—a true chess phoenix!

The endgame is where Nhất truly shines, engaging in it over 63% of games, dragging the battles long and keeping opponents on their toes with an average of about 62 moves per win.

Off the Board

Though the tilt factor clocks in at a mild 8, one can imagine Nhất muttering cheeky grumbles after tough losses but always bouncing back. The mix of wins across days and hours hints at a player who plays best on Monday mornings and sunny early afternoons (who knew?), but might want to steer clear of Friday nights, where the win rate dips to a sobering 14%.

Rivals & Friends

Nhất’s most frequent opponent in rapid is havanam2007, a rival who’s proven a tough nut to crack with just over 32% win rate. Yet, on a friendlier note, Nhất boasts 100% win rates against players like ace_deangee and eliotlb221, so there are definitely some favored matchups on the record.

In the chess world, Nhất Nguyễn Hữu isn’t just a player — he’s a determined spirit who dances with every move, learns with every loss, and keeps on pushing forward with a grin. Expect the unexpected and watch out for that Scandinavian Defense!
