Profile Summary: H3ndrik01

Meet H3ndrik01, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as fascinating as it is determined. Starting out with modest blitz ratings around 375 earlier in 2023, this player steadily climbed the ladder to a peak blitz rating of 848 in November 2023. Not bad for a player whose best time of day to play appears to be... 3 AM. Yes, when most are asleep, H3ndrik01 is outwitting opponents and puzzling chess engines alike.

Though not a grandmaster (yet!), H3ndrik01’s love for openings ranges from the classic Queen's Gambit Accepted—boasting a healthy 67% win rate—to the quirky and less trodden paths like the Englund Gambit, showing a flexible and adventurous style. They have a keen eye for tactical comebacks, sporting a remarkable 77.7% comeback rate after setbacks, proving that giving up is not in their vocabulary.

When playing blitz, H3ndrik01 had a marathon stretch of nine consecutive wins—clearly on fire! And while losses are part of the game (sometimes up to seven in a row during rough patches), this player’s tilt factor is modest at 7, meaning frustration rarely gets the better of them—likely aided by their endgame frequency of 58.5%, where they patiently grind out the final moves.

Across formats, H3ndrik01 favors blitz and rapid time controls but also dabbles in bullet and daily games. In daily chess, they've even cracked an eye-popping 844 peak rating, demonstrating an ability to shine when given time to strategize beyond the lightning-fast clicks.

Opponents beware: recent matchups show H3ndrik01’s knack for exploiting openings like the Queen’s Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation, often leading to swift victories by checkmate or resignation. And if the clock runs low, don’t count out a win by timeout either—time pressure is a weapon to wield, not fear.
