Profile Summary: hakija

Meet hakija, a dedicated blitz gladiator and a cunning tactician whose chess journey is nothing short of an epic saga. Emerging onto the scene in 2009 with a modest blitz rating of 1397, hakija swiftly climbed the ranks, peaking impressively at 1959 in July 2019, proving that persistence beats raw talent every time. While his rapid and bullet ratings hover in the mid-1000s, blitz is truly his battlefield.

Known for an adventurous opening repertoire, hakija frequently ventures into the Sicilian Defense McDonnell Attack and the Caro Kann Defense, with win rates around the high 30s to low 40s. He’s not afraid to tango with sharp lines like the King’s Gambit Declined Queens Knight Defense or test the waters with the Italian Game, where his win rate nearly hits 47%! A strategic player who believes early resignation is almost a crime (with less than 1% rate), hakija prefers long battles averaging around 70 moves per victory, savoring the endgame where he flexes his skills 84% of the time.

With an enviable comeback rate exceeding 90%, and a knack for winning even after losing material 37% of the time, hakija is the kind of player who never says die. That said, his tilt factor stands at a relatively low 25, which means frustration rarely clouds his judgment — unless maybe when the coffee is cold.

Interestingly enough, his best time to play is early morning at 5 AM, suggesting that either the chess gods favor the dawn or he’s just nocturnally gifted and refuses to end his nights early. Also, his highest hourly win rate happens at 5 AM (over 54%)—truly a morning maestro!

Over the years, hakija has faced a legion of chess warriors, with “oldrivers” as his most frequent sparring partner (71 battles fought). His psychological edge shines through against many opponents, boasting perfect win records against several usernames, though even hakija has met some pesky nemeses.

Recent battles are a testament to his dynamic style. Just in December 2024, hakija secured thrilling wins using the Caro Kann Defense, the Dutch Defense, and the sharp Alekhine's Defense Scandinavian Variation, each won by resignation — a sign of hakija’s relentless pressure and strategic mastery.

But beware! Even legends stumble. In early February 2025, hakija faced a double checkmate and a resignation loss in intense duels of the King’s Gambit Declined, Queens Knight Defense. However, with a longest winning streak of 10 and the stubbornness of a grandmaster in the making, you can bet hakija will bounce back stronger than ever.

When not plotting his next move on the 64 squares, hakija most likely enjoys quirky chess banter, analyzing those “what the heck just happened?!” moments, or conjuring up elaborate opening traps that would make even Bobby Fischer raise an eyebrow.

• Total Blitz Games Played: Over 9,000
