Notable Matches

Henry isn't afraid to claim victory by resignation, timeout, or even checkmate — showcasing versatility in closing out games! One recent gem: a bullet showdown where henxvill triumphed over tiako by resignation in a finely played Queens Gambit Invitation, sealing the deal in less than a minute.

On the flip side, losses often come hard fought — his recent defeat to Vassilis_Koulis was a testament to endurance, though Henry fell victim to time trouble. But fear not, his psychological resilience is strong, with a tilt factor of only 10 out of 100. He’s clearly got nerves of steel!

Quirky Tidbits

Henry shines brightest around 5 PM (17:00), with a perfect 100% win rate recorded during that hour. Coincidence or secret chess magic ritual? Also, despite a fearless approach, his win rate dips just after 3 PM, so maybe avoid challenging henxvill to a duel right before tea time.

He has an impressive list of opponents he consistently dominates, including master_mania, chessnoob2020, and rookie879, all suffering 100% defeat against Henry. On the contrary, some like pikachu_vn9x and zimbabweanmakeyoucry remain pesky challenges with bitter 0% win rates for Henry.
