Profile Summary: hspaik

Meet hspaik, a relentless warrior of the 64 squares with a fierce passion for Bullet chess—and an occasionally decent appreciation for Rapid and Blitz. It's clear from the extensive game history that hspaik loves a good fight under time pressure, with an impressive collection of over 18,000 Bullet games played! This player doesn’t just play, they battle through blunders, time scrambles, and the chaos only a frantic Bullet game can offer.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting modestly and climbing steadily, hspaik’s Bullet rating topped at 1268 in April 2025. Not quite Magnus yet, but definitely making waves in the fast-paced world where seconds count more than strategy. Rapid and Blitz ratings are lower but respectable, peaking at 851 and 1170 respectively—probably because those time controls allow just a tiny bit more thinking (or freaking out).

Signature Openings

Our friend enjoys dabbling in a great variety of defenses and openings, but the Modern Defense is a clear favorite, snagging a win rate just north of 51%. The Pirc Defense and Old Benoni Defense are also frequent choices, both around the 50% win rate mark. On the flip side, the French Defense isn’t hspaik’s BFF, boasting a modest sub-45% win rate—looks like it doesn’t like hspaik much either!

Notable Opening Successes in Bullet:

• Modern Defense: 1404 games, 51.7% wins
• Pirc Defense: 732 games, 51.1% wins
• Old Benoni Defense: 494 games, 49.8% wins
• Bishops Opening: 1345 games, 48.5% wins

Playing Style & Tendencies

True to the chaotic nature of online Bullet chess, hspaik’s games often end quickly—average decisive games last about 58 moves with a slightly lower average for losses than wins. And this player isn’t one to resign early: less than 4% early resignations, preferring to punch through to the endgame where they really feel at home.

Speaking of endgames, they reach the battleground on 71% of their games—because if you don’t see the possibilities in the late stages, the victory is elusive! Plus, hspaik seems to keep their tactical wits sharp with a commendable 67% comeback rate after losing material, showing a never-say-die attitude that would make Bobby Fischer nod in approval.

Psychological Quirks

Everyone has their off days, and hspaik is no exception. Their tilt factor—how often frustration rears its ugly head—is around 20%, detected particularly around 2 PM, when only the strongest caffeine can save the day. But that’s also when their best play tends to happen. They enjoy a higher win rate during the afternoon hours, proving that timing really is everything in chess and life.

Noteworthy Games and Rivals

hspaik holds a grudge (or a fondness) for certain opponents, besting zarydya 24 times out of 31 encounters and maintaining a solid winning record against yonoe with 10 wins in 16 matches. They have also mastered the art of revenge against friends like angelos28, battling close to a roughly 50-50 record.

In their most recent victory, hspaik showcased stylish play to outmaneuver swedishfish200 in a tense match decided on time—proving that sometimes, the clock is truly a friend of the focused.
