Harry Cun, Candidate Master

Harry Cun, known by the username HarryCun, is a proud holder of the Candidate Master title from FIDE—a badge of honor earned through countless battles on the 64 squares. While not a household name (yet), Harry's journey is one of perseverance, resilience, and just a touch of madness—after all, anyone who dedicates thousands of games to chess clearly loves a challenge... or just really enjoys staring at an 8x8 board.

Chess Career and Performance

Harry’s chess adventure started humbly in 2013 with a blitz rating around 1066 (don't laugh; everyone starts somewhere). Through sheer grit (and possibly caffeine), Harry skyrocketed to a blitz peak rating of 2504 in mid-2022—a rating that commands respect and envy alike. Bullet chess has also been a playground, peaking at 2206, proving that Harry is no stranger to lightning-fast decisions (and occasional whiffs). Rapid peaked at 2203, rounding out a versatile skillset adaptable to all time controls.

Strengths and Style

Known for a hearty endgame appetite—engaging in such phases a whopping 72.3% of games—Harry enjoys the grind and subtleties after the queens start to dance cautiously. Though the move count averages around 70 moves per game won (don’t worry, it’s just a bit longer than a TV sitcom), Harry’s psychological resilience stands out with a stunning 82.37% comeback rate after losing material. Yes, when life takes a piece, Harry often takes revenge.

Quirks & Trivia

It's been documented that Harry might not be at their freshest at 19:00 hours, but that's when the magic happens—the best time to risk a game with our fearless master. Be warned: the current losing streak is a modest 5, but the career record speaks louder with a mighty longest winning streak of 18 games. If you play them, expect fierce competition and possible charming humility in defeat.

Opening Secrets and Opponents

Despite a mysteriously labeled “Top Secret” opening repertoire (secretive or just avoids oversharing?), Harry has logged thousands of games with it, showing a steady win rate near 47% in blitz and around 46% in bullet. Some opponents seem to frustrate Harry (looking at you, hongnhung1234 with a sub-20% win rate), but others are a sheer joy, including several with a perfect 100% win rate. Talk about having favorite punching bags!

Latest Adventures on the Chessboard

Harry's most recent victories paint a picture of a tactician who can snatch wins with flair. One of the latest games saw Harry elegantly deliver checkmate in a Caro-Kann Fantasy Variation, while another triumph came by gradually outmaneuvering opponents on the queenside in a Reti Opening encounter. Losses are as ever part of the saga, including a humbling but instructive checkmate defeat to Double_troublee—proving no one escapes the dance of death on the chessboard forever.

So whether you are an aspiring player or a chess buff seeking inspiration, Harry Cun embodies the spirit of the game: relentless, unpredictable, and never boring. And as they say, “It’s not whether you win or lose, but how many pieces you lose along the way... and come back to crush your opponent.”
