About halim2005
Meet halim2005, a chess enthusiast who dances on the chessboard with a rating rollercoaster like no other. Kicking off their journey in 2022 with a modest rapid rating peaking at 888, halim2005 has weathered the storms and steadily played over 4,000 games across rapid, blitz, and bullet formats. This player shows remarkable resilience, boasting an impressive comeback rate of 56% and an undefeated win rate after losing a piece—because giving up is just not in their playbook!
A strategic lover of the classics, their favorite openings include the King's Pawn Opening and the Scandinavian Defense, where they sport win rates hovering around 50%, proving they’re no stranger to the schoolbook lines. Despite some ups and downs in rating, halim2005 proves their mettle in endgames quite often, engaging in them in about a third of their matches.
Their rapid style is a curious blend of patience and aggression—games average about 46 moves when winning, but they’re not shy to throw in an early resignation about 12.5% of the time (sometimes you just gotta know when to fold 'em). White pieces bring them a slight edge, winning nearly 49% of the time, while their black pieces hold steady at about 48%. Their tactical finesse shines especially bright in tight spots, as they convert losses after giving up material into eventual victories with a flawless track record.
When it comes to timing the perfect moment to strike, their highest win rates occur surprisingly in the wee hours—from 1AM to 4AM—where they crush opponents with over 55% success (let’s just say the night owl advantage is real). Tuesdays and Fridays also seem to be their lucky days with win rates just over the 50% mark. Caffeine-fueled or just born chess night owl? You decide.
Despite a tilt factor of 13—a telltale sign that losing a few games can ruffle their feathers—halim2005 remains a force on the board, grinding through thousands of games with a near-even win/loss record and a flair for dramatic checkmates that bring both joy and despair to their competitors.
