Player Profile: hey-ou

Meet hey-ou, a chess enthusiast whose games are as unpredictable as their username. In the rapidly evolving world of rapid chess, hey-ou has steadily climbed from a modest 450 in 2024 to an impressive peak of 729 by 2025. Not too shabby for someone who probably queues up games faster than they can brew their coffee!

With over 1,000 rapid games under their belt and nearly equal wins and losses (497 wins to 494 losses), hey-ou proves to be a fierce competitor who never shies away from a challenge. And when it comes to blitz or bullet games, their quick fingers manage a respectable max rating of 764 in blitz and 466 in bullet - a true speedster on the digital board.

Hey-ou’s playing style suggests a player who likes to fight till the end: with an endgame frequency of 53.5% and games lasting around 50 moves on average for wins, this chess warrior enjoys the strategic dance as much as the takedowns. Their knack for making comebacks is enviable, boasting a stellar 54.55% comeback rate and the uncanny ability to win every time after losing a piece. Talk about turning the tables!

However, all that passion comes with a dash of drama, as hey-ou experiences tilt about 10% of the time — chess nerves are real, folks! But hey, the resilience to bounce back from setbacks is clearly part of their charm.

Fun fact: hey-ou’s favorite secret weapon is aptly named "Top Secret," an opening strategy that’s led to nearly half of their wins across all time controls. Opponents beware—this player’s mysterious opening has rattled many, especially those with a 0% win rate against them.

When to catch hey-ou at their best? If you want to challenge them, try late morning and early evening hours — their win rate peaks around 9 AM (61.5%) and 10 PM (52%). Maybe they’re fueled by morning coffee and late-night snacks!

Chess might just be their game, but hey-ou’s profile tells a tale of grit, speed, and a sprinkle of mystery. Whether you're playing them or cheering from the sidelines, expect some unpredictable and spirited battles.
