Profile: haxxaarn - The Chess Adventurer

Meet haxxaarn, a rapid-fire tactician who fights fiercely across the 64 squares but with a rating rollercoaster that would make even the bravest roller coaster aficionado dizzy! Peaking at a nifty Rapid rating of 888 in early 2025, this player knows how to press the advantage — especially when rocking the Modern Defense or sneaking in aggressive lines like the King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation boasting an impressive 83.33% win rate in rapid games.

With a total of 117 wins in rapid, 37 in blitz, and a modest but fierce 8 victories in bullet, haxxaarn has proven capable of outwitting opponents even under time pressure — though their ratings dance a bit more sluggishly in blitz and bullet, maxing out at 563 and 832 respectively.

Their playing style? Expect an adventurer who embraces the complexity of endgames (seen in over half of their games) and tends to resign early only about 2.65% of the time — so don’t expect quick surrenders here! They average about 52 moves per win but sometimes linger (or suffer) with nearly 60 moves in losses, suggesting a dogged battle until the bitter end.

Psychologically, haxxaarn can be hit by the tilt bug occasionally (a 7 out of 10 tilt factor), but comes back swinging with an impressive 74% comeback rate after falling behind. And for night owls, the prime time to challenge them is around 11 PM local time — be prepared for a 75% win rate in that hour, a true tip-off that the night is young and so is haxxaarn’s tactical vision.

The opening repertoire is a mixed bag of secrets and classics. In rapid games, the Top Secret opening works surprisingly well (a 45.6% win rate), and the trusted Caro-Kann Defense is used often, though success there hovers at 37%. In blitz and bullet, variations of the Caro-Kann shine especially, including 100% win rates in some Philidor Defense subsections.

Against their frequent nemesis valtours, haxxaarn is working hard with a 40.48% win rate, so there’s room for a friendly rivalry to spice things up! But against a wide field, the player has stunning streaks of victories—up to 9 wins in a row with tactical flair and few one-sided losses.

On June 3, 2025, haxxaarn delivered a dazzling checkmate against valtours in a Modern Defense battle — complete with a queen sacrifice and a precise mating net. Watch the game here.

Whether they’re outfoxing opponents with cunning openings or battling through grueling endgames, haxxaarn is a player who embodies the thrill of chess: unpredictable, resilient, and always ready for the next move. Keep an eye on this name—it’s on the rise and no one knows what surprises lurk next in this player’s tactical toolbox.

Fun fact: When not playing chess, haxxaarn probably contemplates how to win without moving a pawn... or at least how to look mysterious while losing spectacularly.
