Profile Summary: harish2988

Once upon a time in the enchanted lands of chess knights and pawns, emerged a player known simply by their username: harish2988. With a mixed bag of battles fought across blitz, bullet, and rapid formats, harish2988 has had quite the rollercoaster ride on the 64 squares.

Rating Chronicles

  • Blitz: Peaked at a respectable 1191 in 2022 before a series of puzzling adventures dragged the rating down to around 528 in 2025. Clearly, harish2988 enjoys the challenge — or the chaos — of rapid-fire decision making!
  • Bullet: A speedster at heart, but with modest success, max rating barely scratched 969, and a recent dip to the 200s suggesting the lightning pace isn’t for faint-hearted types.
  • Rapid: Their most promising format with a peak over 1000 rating in 2023, and an impressive number of battles fought—over a thousand games in safer, less frantic time controls.

Playing Style and Tactical Flair

harish2988 is a fighter who doesn’t shy away from the gritty endgame, appearing in nearly 59% of their matches. The games are long and winding adventures with an average of about 57 moves whether winning or losing. This suggests a patient style that battles on until the final move, or until brain cells surrender!

The player is also no stranger to psychological twists: a comeback rate soaring above 71% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece hint at resilience and some serious resilience mojo. Perhaps harish2988 believes in turning blunders into masterpieces—after all, who hasn’t dreamed of a miraculous pawn promotion despite an early queen loss?

The Human Side of harish2988

While the tilt factor sits at a mild 12 (so a pinch of frustration, like forgetting where you put your knight), harish2988 is known to resign early just 5.22% of the time. That means most of the time they grind it out, even when the chips (or pawns) are down.

Also, here’s a pro tip for opponents: harish2988 boasts a longest winning streak of 13, meaning there was a time when the stars aligned and brilliance was inevitable.

Notable Rivalries & Memorable Moments

harish2988 enjoys chess drama, having tangled most with opponents like defendeuropee, niruhr, and lesrigots. Victories and defeats weave an epic saga of rivalry and redemption.

Interestingly, matches performed best during the Monday mornings and late nights (around 23:00!)—clearly fueled either by fresh energy or midnight caffeine delirium.

In Conclusion

harish2988 embodies the spirit of chess: persistence, tactical wit, a dash of humor, and the courage to face losses head-on. Never afraid to play the long game, whether the pieces cooperate or not, they remain a quirky and determined warrior of the 64 squares — a profile any aspiring player can learn from.
