Profile Summary: Hargijanto, the Relentless Rapid Rumbler

Meet Hargijanto, a rapid chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is as variable as his rating! With a peak rapid rating of 696 reached in March 2025, Hargijanto commands respect — or at least a bit of bewilderment — with a near-even win/loss tally in rapid games (736 wins, 752 losses, and 40 draws).

Known for unleashing the Queen's Pawn Opening with a nifty 51% win rate, and occasionally dabbling in the Englund Gambit for surprise attacks, he's the player who can either dazzle or befuddle you depending on the day. With an early resignation rate of just over 2%, Hargijanto knows when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em (but usually tries to fight until the bitter end).

His psychological resilience is notable. Despite enduring a tilt factor of 9 — the kind of stress level where coffee might not be enough — he holds an impressive comeback rate of nearly 73%. Lose a piece? No worries, Hargijanto still manages to win over 42% of those games. Clearly, surrender isn’t in his vocabulary; he's the comeback kid of the rapid chess circuit.

Time of day matters for this nocturnal knight: his best winning streak peaks around 23:00, where his win rate spikes dramatically (sometimes eerily) to as high as 85.7%! Whether it’s the witching hour or a quiet midnight session, Hargijanto brings his A-game — or at least something close to it.

A strategist with patience, his average winning game runs over 57 moves, while losses tend to drag on longer—about 68 moves—suggesting he attempts every trick in the book before finally conceding. And with a tendency to engage in endgames nearly 66% of the time, fans can expect a tense, drawn-out battle until the very end.

Recent games tell the story: victories by resignation and checkmate alike show his tactical flair, while also having the occasional misstep resulting in losses by resignation or running out of time. Opponents beware—Hargijanto is prone to fighting until move 80 (and beyond) in rapid classics.

Off the board, you might find him chuckling about his longest winning and losing streaks being equal at nine games each. Such is the wax and wane of a player who embodies the rollercoaster thrill of rapid chess. Whether battling with the Scandinavian Defense or exploring the Queen's Pawn Opening variations, Hargijanto’s style keeps opponents guessing and spectators entertained.

In sum: a resilient rapid chess player with enough tactical twists to keep the game spicy, Hargijanto is a fighter who makes rapid chess less about rating and more about passion—and a splash of humor.
