The Marathoner
Hakari, also known by the unforgettable username JNWDUBDGBE, is an International Master who seems to have a permanent reservation on the online blitz board. The FIDE title is official, but the true identity is the player with nearly 5,500 blitz games, a 15-game winning streak, a 13-game losing streak, and the patience of a librarian who has seen it all.
Call it dedication, call it a personality trait. The blitz graph starts somewhere in the low 1600s in early 2020, travels through several happy accidents, and eventually reaches happy electron-memory territory around 3102 (2026-05-18).
shows the whole ride, complete with loops, drops, and an occasional moment where it looks like the rating is trying to escape.Opening Shelf
With the white pieces, Hakari is a devoted d4 player. There is a side career in the English Opening, some Queen's Indian structures, and a whole lot of favorites folded into the queue. But the true opening companion is the Caro-Kann Defense when Vor 200, no, when a single book appears more than 600 times in the blitz files, it stops being an opening. It becomes a familiar room with good lighting.
There is also apparently enough space in the brain for the Döry Defense, the Auntie Amazon Attack, and a few lines that make opening viewers scream into their imaginations. The exact numbers from every opening can be found in the chart below.
Familiar Foes
When the lights are bright, Hakari keeps showing up. The most common lunch are rud_makarian and reevecanada, but the meeting list also includes strong conversational partners like Daniel Naroditsky and even Hikaru Nakamura at 50 total meetings. The score against those two names is not a pretty picture, but the consistent message is clearly by the screen, after defeat number 41, there is almost certainly a request for "another game".
Tilt, Comebacks, and the 21:00 Draw
For Hakari, losing is just part of one longer lecture. The data suggests a comet back rate near 88 percent, which is a way of saying that after the worst moment, something still opens the door to walk out from an endgame with a result. The tilt factor is 13 and the best mealtime is 21:00, when the rest of the online neighborhood becomes a little too quiet and the blitz begins to talk in full sentences.
Hakari also reaches the endgame with great interest, with about 87 percent of games making it to the measured final phase. When the margin decides a win, it usually happens around move 86, so bring water.
Final Check
Hakari is not the player with the cleanest worst result or the shortest evening. Hakari is the International Master who plays five thousand games anyway, wins about half, loses about half, and still clocks in the next day to see what the Caro-Kann thinks. If you see them appear around 21:00 UTC, a polite nod is welcome. Then the enormous black side next door grins and the beach starts again.
