In the vast and unpredictable world of online chess, few players blend persistence, quirky resilience, and a dash of tactical flair quite like hejejben. Known for a rollercoaster rating journey—reaching peaks of 569 in Blitz and 551 in Rapid—this player’s chess story is as much about the learning curve as it is about the pursuit of victory.

Rating & Style

With a Blitz rating maxing out at 569 in late 2023 and a Rapid high of 551, hejejben is no stranger to the ups and downs of competitive chess. Often found trading pawns and nerves on the battlefield, they average around 43-46% win rates whether playing as White or Black—a respectable if not overly aggressive playing style. Notably, their games tend to be somewhat lengthy, averaging nearly 49 moves in wins, showing both endurance and a preference for gritty battles over quick finishes.

Opening Preferences

hejejben has a penchant for classic lines in both Blitz and Rapid formats. The Kings Pawn Opening is a favored choice, boasting a 75% win rate in Blitz and a 38.5% win rate in Rapid, though the infamous Bishop’s Opening seems to be their secret weapon, especially in Rapid where their win rate hits a clean 100% in a handful of games. Other openings, like the French Defense Knight Variation or Petrovs Defense Steinitz Attack, have proven trickier—because every hero has their kryptonite.

Competitive Record & Opponents

Across all blitz and rapid games played, hejejben has amassed a near-even record with 58 wins, 69 losses, and a few draws thrown in. Historically, they have a love-hate relationship with opponents like joseetje1974, who they’ve beaten 80% of the time, while others (looking at you, muhammedfatih11) have been less forgiving.

Memorable Moments

Among recent highlights is an impressive victory via “game abandoned” over wolfvdgym, showcasing an aggressive and opportunistic chess sense—snatching victory from chaos in just 10 moves from the Kings Pawn Opening. Another dazzling win by checkmate against KevinMischa displayed deep tactical prowess, with a dazzling combination culminating around a daring sacrifice and precise follow-up.

Playing Habits

hejejben is a pragmatic fighter on the board, occasionally prone to early resignations (17.4% of losses), but shows admirable resilience with a comeback rate above 50%, often thriving even after losing material. Their best time to dominate the board? Around 5 PM, when their win rate skyrockets above 70%—a perfect excuse to schedule a daily chess break.

The Human Side

With a tilt factor of 6 (chess speak for "sometimes emotions get the best of me") and a distinct style of embracing long, strategic encounters, hejejben is clearly the kind of player who values the journey more than the scoreboard. If chess were a novel, their chapters would be filled with thrilling battles, occasional setbacks, and a persistent quest for checkmate glory.

So here’s to hejejben: a fierce competitor, an unpredictable strategist, and possibly the only player who can be simultaneously confounding and charming across online chess servers.
