Henry

Profile Summary: Henry (Username: JHenry139)

Meet Henry, the chess enthusiast whose style is anything but boring. With a peak rapid rating of 684 and blazing through blitz games with a high of 688, Henry’s games are a rollercoaster of tactical brilliance, strategic gambits, and the occasional "oops, I resign" moment.

Henry's journey in the chess world is a tale of perseverance and occasional brilliance. His longest winning streak hits a solid 10 games, proving he can be downright unstoppable—at least until the next epic blunder, which, judging by an 8.93% early resignation rate, happens more often than he'd like to admit.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for an adventurous opening repertoire, Henry flourishes in tricky lines like the Queen’s Pawn Opening - Chigorin Variation boasting a 64% win rate, and the Van't Kruijs Opening, where he glided through 4 games undefeated with a perfect 100% record. Henry’s black pieces seem to bring out the best in him, with a 58.67% win rate, slightly edging out his white performance.

Endgames are Henry’s playground—the endgame frequency clocks in at a robust 64.54%, and his average winning games clock in around 58 moves, meaning he enjoys the long haul rather than quick tactical skirmishes. Although he enjoys calculated risk, his comeback rate of 72% is evidence he’s no quitter and often turns games around when the going gets tough.

Quirks and Fun Facts

• Henry’s best time to climb the leaderboard? 4 PM, when his win rate rockets to an incredible 87.5%.
• On Wednesday evenings, Henry's confidence skyrockets with nearly 77% wins, possibly fueled by midweek caffeine and a stubborn refusal to let his opponents breathe.
• When behind a piece, Henry still clinches victory 50.89% of the time. They say to never count him out — he’ll pull a rabbit out of his chess hat.

Recent Battles on the Board

Henry's recent victories have come through classic sharp play and time pressure mastery, like his June 3rd blitz win against AntonioGM39 via a timed triumph in the Ruy Lopez Exchange Variation. When the clock ticks, Henry often ticks faster.

But like every mortal chess warrior, Henry has bowed before great challengers such as Wiwi1745 and mathewrich, reminding us that every loss is just another riddle to solve next time.

Summary

Henry is a player who embraces the beautiful complexity of chess—sometimes storming ahead with dazzling winning streaks, sometimes sacrificing a rook or two in pursuit of glory (or out of sheer forgetfulness). His passion, tactical awareness, and love for the long strategic battles make him a memorable presence on the virtual chessboard. Whether you’re facing Henry or cheering him on from the sidelines, one thing’s for certain: chess with Henry is never dull.
