Profile of Henry Tran (aka Hennytrannn)
Henry Tran is the chess world's well-kept secret — sometimes winning, often learning, but always battling on the 64 squares with a style uniquely his own. With a blitz peak rating just shy of 800 back in 2018, Henry's journey has been a thrilling rollercoaster through the ranks of rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily chess.
Although his bullet rating peaked at a modest 843, Henry is truly a rapid specialist, boasting a dramatic rating surge up to an impressive 786 in 2023 and maintaining solid performances since. Unlike the speed demons of bullet, Henry’s rapid style shows a love for thoughtful play, averaging just over 45 moves per win — patience is a virtue, after all. However, when the clock runs low, his early resignation rate of 16.4% hints that sometimes he knows when to fold ‘em before getting checkmated!
Henry’s win-loss record speaks of gritty perseverance: nearly equal wins and losses across all formats, with a penchant for comebacks boasting a remarkable 52% success rate once down a piece. Opponents beware — he wins 100% of the time after losing a piece, proving that the game isn’t over till Hennytrannn says so.
Speaking of opponents, Henry has battled over 95 matches against "jayneat456," edging them out with a 51.5% win rate, a gripping rivalry epitomizing his competitive spirit. Fun fact: Henry’s favorite opening remains a top secret, leaving mystery in every game and opponents guessing his next move.
Off the board, Henry’s psychological resilience is noteworthy — a low tilt factor hints that frustration rarely gets the best of him, though his rated-versus-casual win difference shows he’s all business when it counts. Play style? He’s nearly equally deadly whether wielding the white or black pieces, with a slight edge when playing white (50.57% win rate).
In short: Henry Tran is the underdog with a relentless spirit, surprising wins, and enough tactical flair to keep chess fans entertained.
