Playing Style & Stats

HT_961 favors a mature, sometimes cheeky approach:

  • Ends up in the endgame over half the time (53.54%), proving patience isn't just a virtue—it's a necessity.
  • Average moves to victory: about 52—no bullet bluffs here, they’re in it for the long haul.
  • Does have a soft spot for early resignation though, packing it in about 10.5% of the time. Hey, why suffer when you can reboot?
  • Their comeback rate is a solid 75.3%, showing that even when HT_961 loses a piece, there’s still hope—and sometimes, a hint of stubborn genius.

Opening Repertoire

HT_961 is not shy about experimenting with openings. The Vienna Game is a personal favorite, boasting a respectable 61.9% win rate. Also notable are the King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation and Van't Kruijs Opening, both favorites with over 55% wins. On the flip side, the Bishop's Opening isn't as beloved, with a modest win rate of 23.5%—but hey, every player has their kryptonite.

Recent Battles & Rivals

Despite a mixed bag of opponents, HT_961 has a penchant for revenge, conquering quite a few foes like jahed1244, leoberrr, and sleepingjoee with a 100% win record—all those games ended gloriously with HT_961 victorious, sometimes even on time. On the other hand, watch out for utrashhaha1, a nemesis with 0% win rate for HT_961 so far. Every hero needs a villain, after all.

Peak Moments & Quirks

Mark your calendars around 11 AM—their statistically best time to make moves, featuring a stunning 64% win rate at that hour. Fridays and Tuesdays tend to be lucky days too, with 50.68% wins on Tuesday—might we suggest scheduling weekend escapes for rest and regeneration, given Sundays are their toughest day with only a 34.5% win rate.

Psychological Tidbits

HT_961 seems to have a low tolerance for "tilt," keeping it around 5%, which either means remarkable calm or a well-crafted poker face behind the keyboard. They also seem to thrive against opponents rated lower than themselves, winning over 80% of such games but struggle fiercely against higher-rated challengers.

In Summary

HT_961 is a player who embraces the chess journey with resilience and curiosity—winning fiercely, losing humbly, and often surprising opponents with clever comeback moves. Their games are a rollercoaster ride of tactical twists, hesitant resignations, and determined fights through endgames.
