Profile: Hypothalamus009
Title: Woman Candidate Master (WCM)
Hypothalamus009 is a formidable chess force who has been making waves across bullet, blitz, and rapid formats with a style that can only be described as a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the chessboard. Holding the Woman Candidate Master title awarded by FIDE, this player blends tactical brilliance with a dash of psychological warfare — their tilt factor of 7 suggests that yes, even the best can get flustered, but their comeback rate of 81.44% proves that giving up is never part of the plan.
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for their patience and endgame prowess (with a hearty 74% endgame frequency), Hypothalamus009 takes an average of nearly 68 moves to secure a win — clearly savoring every second of the cerebral battle. Whether wielding white or black pieces, their winning percentages remain impressively consistent, hovering around 61-64%. Early resignation is a rare sight in their games (only 3.33%), reflecting a fighter’s spirit unwilling to concede prematurely.

Some say bullet chess is for the reckless, but that’s not the case here; Hypothalamus009’s bullet performance shows steady and impressive progression with hard-earned victories and a great average win rate, especially against lower-rated opponents where they boast a striking 73.75% success rate.
Favorite Openings
While often embracing the unknown (their "Unknown Opening" win rates hover impressively around 60-75%), this player also masterfully handles tricky openings like the Reti Opening Sicilian Invitation and Nimzo Indian Defense variations, often steering games into favorable waters. And if you’re trying to trap them with a Sicilian Defense, beware — that’s where Hypothalamus009’s winning rate sometimes dips, a tiny crack in an otherwise stalwart armor.
A Day in the Life (Chess Edition)
The board lights up brightest for Hypothalamus009 around 22:00 (their best time of day to play), with a win rate nearing 78%! Whether sharpening tactics or hunting for the decisive checkmate, their Saturdays are particularly lucky with a fantastic 71.56% win ratio. Clearly, weekends are for crushing pawns and dreams alike.
Recent Battles
Checkmate specialist? Absolutely. Their recent triumphs often end in spectacular checkmates — like the swift victory over huk80 on June 2, 2025, where a carefully calculated queen sacrifice led to an elegant finish in under 40 moves. Losses happen, but even then, they’re usually close affairs, often decided on time rather than being outplayed.
Fun Fact
With a superhuman ability to bounce back from losing material, Hypothalamus009 wins nearly 60% of games even after losing a piece — a quality not found in just any casual player. Clearly, this player might not only be thinking three moves ahead but also rehearsing a comeback script worthy of a thriller novel.
In summary, Hypothalamus009 is a chess enthusiast’s dream: fierce, determined, patient, and never boring. Opponents beware — this WCM fights to the last clock tick, proving that sometimes the hypothalamus rules not just the body, but the chessboard as well.
Feedback for Hypothalamus009
Great job on your recent games! You've shown good tactical awareness and the ability to convert winning positions effectively, as demonstrated in your last victories against visis2 and bidoufi. Your use of thematic Sicilian Defense lines and sharp attacking moves indicates a solid understanding of opening principles and middlegame tactics.
Strengths

- Conversion in Winning Positions: You have successfully executed checkmates and forced resignations, showing good calculation and pattern recognition in complex positions.
- Positional Awareness: In several games, you have used strong central control and clever piece maneuvers to outplay your opponents strategically.
Areas to Work On
- Endgame Technique: A few losses indicate opportunities to improve your endgame play. Focus on improving king activity, pawn structure, and basic endgame theoretical knowledge.
