حوثي وافتخر - The Rapid Warrior of the Chessboard

Meet حوثي وافتخر, also known in chess circles simply as Hashemgha, a player whose game tells a story of resilience, persistence, and that classic underdog spirit! With a rapid chess rating peaking at 885 in 2024 before settling just shy of 700 in 2025, he’s constantly battling on the 64 squares like a knight on a quest for glory.

Despite a humble beginning—starting with a rapid rating of 400 and a notorious debut loss—حوثي وافتخر quickly found his footing, racking up over 1100 wins in rapid chess across thousands of games. His blitz debut might be a one-off with a perfect 1-0 record, but hey, everyone needs a flashy entrance!

Known for his strategic patience, Hashemgha averages nearly 59 moves in victories, proving that he enjoys a good long battle rather than quick skirmishes. When things don’t go his way, he’s remarkably confident too—bouncing back from losing pieces with a flawless 100% win rate in those tricky situations. That’s some serious comeback magic!

Fun fact: his longest winning streak is a solid 10 games, a testament to his ability to conquer and hold his ground when the stars align. Yet, he’s not afraid to throw in the towel early sometimes, with an early resignation rate hovering around 15%—possibly when the opponent caught him browsing TikTok instead of thinking.

Playing Style & Personality

• Opening Secrets: His rapid games include 2600+ matches built around "Top Secret" openings—because who doesn’t love a little mystery?
• Win Rates: A solid 47.5% rapid win rate overall and a cheeky 50.15% success playing white pieces.
• Psychological Flavor: While حوثي وافتخر can get tilted occasionally (Tilt Factor 15), it only makes him stronger, keeping his comeback rate above 68%.
• Game Time Favorite: Loves playing between 19:00 and 12:00 hours where his win rate peaks beyond 50%, possibly fueled by caffeine or sheer determination.

Opponents beware: With impressive records against some top rivals—100% wins against bash_ii, ayes18, and batman24y—and a somewhat cheeky 41.67% score against the frequent opponent daliaghaleb, Hashemgha proves that every game is a fresh battlefield.

Off the board, حوثي وافتخر remains an enigma. Is he the grandmaster in disguise or the lovable chess enthusiast who always laughs in the face of checkmate? One thing’s for sure, with over 2300 rapid games played in 2024 alone, he’s a true chess warrior who simply refuses to quit.
