Profile Summary: hypnoally

Meet hypnoally, the Rapid enthusiast with a fondness for the Zukertort Variation and an intriguingly stubborn streak when it comes to the King's Pawn Opening. With a peak Rapid rating soaring to 617 in May 2025, hypnoally has proven not only to be a competitor but a resilient warrior on the 64 squares.

Despite early hiccups, like a scenic but winless detour through nine games of the King's Pawn Opening (zero wins, nine losses — ouch!), hypnoally’s knack for the King’s Knight Variation shines with an impressive 71% win rate. The secret weapon? Perhaps the seldom-seen perfection of a 100% win rate in the elusive Van ’t Kruijs Opening, reminding us that sometimes, bold novelty pays off.
