Profile: Hardik Sharma (hardik-756)
Hardik Sharma is a rising star in the world of rapid chess, steadily climbing the ranks from a modest 628 rating in 2021 to a respectable 842 by 2025. Known for his fondness for the mysterious "Top Secret" opening (360 games and counting!), Hardik approaches the game like a cryptic puzzle only he seems to fully understand. His nearly even win-loss record of 174-171 with 15 draws proves he’s no pushover at the board, often engaging in tight battles that keep spectators on the edge of their seats.
Despite the ups and downs, Hardik’s comeback ability is legendary: if he loses a piece, watch out! He boasts a perfect 100% win rate after losing material—a true phoenix rising from the ashes of blunders. His longest winning streak so far is 7 games, but bragging rights are safe with a current streak of at least 1 (consistency is overrated anyway).
When not plotting his next surgical strike at the board, Hardik likely enjoys experimenting with unconventional playtimes—his highest win rates come in the wee hours of the morning (1 AM and 22 PM with a flawless 100% win!) and surprisingly at 3 AM (83% win rate), making one wonder if midnight snacks somehow fuel his genius.
Known to be a bit “tilty” (tilt factor 7, so handle with care!), Hardik has a low early resignation rate, proving that he fights till the end – and his endgames are frequent and fierce, with nearly 57% of his games reaching the final battlefield. White or Black doesn’t seem to matter much; Hardik sports a balanced color record, slightly favoring Black with 49.7% win rate.
In short, Hardik Sharma is the kind of player who embraces chaos, thrives on comebacks, and never gives up—even if it means occasionally shaking his head at a self-inflicted misstep. A secret weapon on the digital chessboard, Hardik is definitely one to watch.
