Profile Summary: harikaalper
Meet harikaalper, a chess warrior navigating the 64 squares with a blend of determination, grit, and occasional blunders that keep opponents hopeful. Starting with a Blitz rating around 800 in late 2020, this rising tactician quickly shot up, peaking impressively at 1150 in early 2023. Not bad for someone who might be guilty of the occasional premature resignation—only about 3.3% of games end that way!
Rapid games have been a playground for harikaalper's strategic experiments, climbing to a peak of 1306 in January 2023. Daily chess games saw a respectable max rating over 1000, showing solid grind and patience. And who could forget the lightning-fast Bullet games? A perfect score in that department - every game won or so it seems, but hey, one game isn't a big sample!

- Tactical Awareness: Crazy comeback ability with an 82% comeback rate after being behind; resilience personified.
- Time of Day: Best play appears at the crack of dawn—6 AM! Opponents beware the sleepy genius.
- Most Played Opening: A suspiciously named "Top Secret" opening (because who needs predictable moves?).
- Current Winning Streak: Zero... but hey, every grandmaster has to humble themselves sometimes.
Personality in Numbers
