Haridas Pascua (aka KingHarii) - International Master

A Journey of Ratings and Battles
From a promising 1368 Blitz rating in 2015 to an awe-inspiring peak near 2800 in Blitz by 2021, Haridas has blitzed through the ranks (literally). Bullet chess? Haridas turned that into an art form, reaching a stellar 2832 peak — that’s faster than you can say “checkmate.” Over more than 5000 games in Blitz and Bullet combined, they’ve managed a near 50% win rate, with a total tally of 1114 Blitz wins and 1382 Bullet wins. That’s dedication (and a lot of caffeine) right there.
Playing Style & Tactics
With an endgame frequency of over 80%, KingHarii enjoys the slow, simmering pressure of endgames, often squeezing victories like squeezing the last drop of toothpaste. Their comeback rate (a spectacular 89%) shows that giving up is never an option—losing a piece is merely a pause in the symphony! Indeed, a whopping 95% win rate after losing material speaks volumes about their tactical resilience and psychological grit.
Streaks & Opponents
Haridas boasts a longest winning streak of 16 games—because who doesn’t enjoy a good streak? Currently on a fresh winning streak, they’re always hungry for more. Their most-played opponents include players like janosik and anton_demchenko, testing their mettle repeatedly with mixed results. In recent matches, Haridas has had a 50% win rate against several familiar foes, proving that every match is a new challenge.
