Playing Style & Strengths
hauroo demonstrates a patient approach to the game, playing an average of about 55 moves per win, which suggests endurance and strategic depth rather than quick-fire tactics. An impressive 70.98% comeback rate shows they’re never down for long — whatever piece they lose, hauroo fights back doggedly, winning over 42% of those tough spots.
While their early resignation rate clocks in at a modest 8.56%, they’re no quitter, as evidenced by a longest winning streak of 9 games and the ability to rally after setbacks. Psychological quirks? There's a tilt factor of 9—so maybe offer a coffee before challenging them to a crucial match!
Favorite Openings & Tactical Play

When playing rapid games, hauroo maintains close to a 50% win rate with these lines — solid but not boring, and definitely combative. The quirkiest choice on the bulletin board might be the Smith Morra Gambit, where hauroo dances between brave attack and risky adventure.
Recent Battles
hauroo’s latest documented victory is a rapid game against “ShizNit2Nite,” where they skillfully executed the Scandinavian Defense and won by resignation after a tense 19 moves. Unfortunately, not every day is a win: recently, a loss against “abo-gomaa1” saw them caught off guard by a sneaky Queen-side assault in the King’s Pawn Opening.
