From the rapid evolutions in his rating—starting from a modest 683 in 2022 Rapid games to peaking over 1000 in 2023—Hakamz has shown an incredible capacity for adaptation, like a true grandmaster of survival in the wild kingdom of sixty-four squares.

His playing style? Think of it as a clever hybrid of aggressive opening gambits and endgame finesse. With an impressive endgame frequency of 47.89%, Hakamz doesn’t just lay down the genetic markers for victory; he evolves the game to his advantage in the late stages.

His win rate tellingly shows a near-balanced prowess with White (46.7%) and a slight edge with Black at 49.55%, indicating a double helix of skills on both sides of the board. His comeback rate—an astonishing 56.68%—ensures that even when his pawns become vulnerable, Hakamz regenerates his chances like a chess-playing starfish!

Hakamz’s tactical awareness is legendary, boasting a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. Evidently, he turns apparent cellular damage into a regeneration zone, proving resilience is encoded deep in his chess DNA.

Though sometimes prone to the rare tilt with a factor of 12 (we all have our mitochondria moments), he plays a calculated game with an average of 50 moves to win—carefully balancing energy metabolism between offense and defense.
