Henkattack – A Rising Force in Online Chess
From a modest beginning in 2017, when HenkAttack’s blitz rating was a humble 813, he has steadily transformed into a formidable competitor across all time controls. His early foray into online blitz laid the foundation for a journey marked by determination, tactical brilliance, and continual improvement, as evidenced by his ratings soaring to over 2000 in blitz and nearing the mid-1900s in rapid games by 2025.
Known for his acute tactical awareness and resilience, HenkAttack excels in complicated endgame positions—boasting an endgame frequency of over 76%—and his ability to bounce back from adversity is reflected in an impressive comeback rate of nearly 82%. Even in positions where a piece may be sacrificed, a 100% win rate in such scenarios shows his relentless determination to fight on and turn the tables.
His playing style is as multifaceted as it is calculated. With a keen sense of timing, his performance across different days and hours demonstrates his adaptability—performing strongly during peak periods and maintaining consistency despite fluctuating conditions. Whether commanding a win with the white pieces (winning just over 51% of his games) or battling it out on the black side (with nearly 47% success), HenkAttack’s approach is methodical yet creative, never shying away from bold opening choices and dynamic transitions.
Beyond his numbers, HenkAttack’s psychological fortitude is a defining trait. With a controlled tilt factor and a noticeably lower win rate difference between rated and casual play, he manages to remain composed under pressure, an essential quality for any rising star. His average move count in victories and defeats suggests a balanced mix of cautious preparation and aggressive execution—a recipe that has served him well over years of competitive play.
As HenkAttack’s ratings have climbed steadily across blitz, rapid, and bullet formats, his journey is a testament to the power of persistence and the art of continuous self-improvement. Today, he stands as a respected figure in the online chess community—a player whose evolving style and remarkable resilience promise even greater achievements on the chessboard in years to come.
