Profile Summary of Hajjime456

Meet Hajjime456, a resilient and ambitious chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride — complete with epic wins, crushing defeats, and a truckload of determination!

Starting with modest ratings around the 600-1000 mark in late 2020, Hajjime456 quickly powered up, smashing the barrier to reach an impressive peak Blitz rating of 1708 by mid-2021 and a blistering Bullet peak at 1859. Not one to rest on laurels, the chess warrior also conquered rapid games, hitting a peak rating of 1765 as recently as 2024.

With thousands of games under their belt — over 2500 Blitz wins, 1100 Bullet victories, and nearly 300 Rapid triumphs — this player combines experience with that relentless fighting spirit. Yes, there have been some losing streaks (including a legendary 78-game skid!), but comebacks are their middle name, boasting a remarkable 81% comeback rate after losing material. The motto seems clear: "Lose a piece? No problem, watch me win anyway!"

Hajjime456 is a fan of the classics mixed with some spicy modern flavors. Their top openings include a fondness for the Caro-Kann Defense (flirting with the Exchange and Advance Variations), the Scandinavian Defense Mieses-Kotrc Variation, and the steady Italian Game. On the bullet front, the Scandinavian Defense and the feisty French Defense Knight Variation are often the weapons of choice, while in rapid games, the Three Knights Opening yields an eye-popping winning rate of over 80%—clearly, that’s a spicy secret move!

When not dragging opponents into tactical maelstroms, this player tends to have their best chances around 6 PM — their golden hour for turning pawns into dragons. Beware if you challenge them then; the win rate spikes to nearly 60%! Though Fridays might be a tiny bit cursed with a win rate closer to 44%, no day is safe from their strategic fury.

Their style? Strategic patience with an average of 68 moves per win—because why rush checkmate when you can torment your opponent with exquisite endgame finesse (which they encounter in almost 70% of their games)? White pieces bring a slight edge with a 53% win rate; black fights hard too, coming in at just over 50%.

Recent victories often involve a graceful resignation from stunned opponents, like the brilliant game against parrotcrow where Hajjime456 danced through the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack and forced a surrender. Yet, even greats falter sometimes, as seen in a recent hard-fought loss by checkmate to ahhhhhhnate — a humbling reminder that even kings can be toppled.

In the grand tapestry of chess warriors, Hajjime456 stands out as a player who embraces the chaos, learns from defeats, and relentlessly chases improvement—sometimes with a grin, occasionally with a groan, but always with an unyielding love for the game. Ready your pieces, because when Hajjime456 is at the board, every game is a captivating story waiting to unfold!
