Hare Geka (aka harence) - The Chess Cowboy

Meet Hare Geka, known to many by the username harence, a blitz and bullet aficionado with a penchant for the bold and the quirky on the chessboard. With peak blitz ratings soaring beyond 2400 and bullet ratings flirting with 1700+, Hare has mastered the art of making rapid-fire decisions — because who has time for those long, drawn-out endgames, right?

Hare’s favorite move? Attacking swiftly with the Sicilian Defense Cowboy Attack, racking up an undefeated streak in hundreds of blitz battles — with an impressive 51.6% win rate and zero recorded losses in that opening alone. It’s safe to say Hare doesn’t just cowboy up for show, but rides hard and wins big.

While a devoted tactician, Hare’s style reveals a surprisingly strong comeback spirit, boasting a 90.16% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. In other words: dropping material doesn’t mean dropping the game for this player! And with an Early Resignation Rate barely over 1%, surrender is definitely not in Hare’s vocabulary.

Hare’s most recent victories look like a lesson in patience and precision. One notable battle saw harence outmaneuver Bad_left_hook using a sharp Sicilian Cowboy Attack, wrapping the game up in under 30 moves — all while keeping calm and collected, as timers ticked down. Conversely, losses come mostly from the sting of time pressure rather than blunders, showing this player’s mental grit but occasional tick-tock frenzy.

Statistically, Saturdays are Hare’s lucky days with the highest win rate (~55%), while mornings between 9 and 16 o’clock provide the optimal hours for striking victories — a perfect blend of prime focus and caffeinated brilliance. However, with a "tilt factor" of 9 (yes, that’s the number of times Hare likely muttered "dang it!" mid-match), even the best cowboys have their moments.

Off the board, Hare is probably the type to wear a cowboy hat while contemplating the next brilliant pawn sacrifice — because why not add a little flair to chess mastery? With nearly 2,000 blitz wins and a fighting spirit that refuses to back down, harence is certainly a player to watch. The chess world is a big board out there, and Hare's cowboy hat is firmly planted, ready to wrangle every game with style and daring.
