Meet Henessy aka lamtakopitik: The Enigmatic Chess Virtuoso

In the bustling world of chess, where knights gallop and bishops strike, Henessy emerges like a mysterious shadow draped in a Top Secret cloak. Known online as lamtakopitik, this player is a rapid and blitz enthusiast with a flair for unexpected moves and a penchant for stirring the chess pot.

Rating Rollercoaster

Henessy’s journey through the ranks is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster ride. Starting 2025 with a modest rapid rating of 579, lamtakopitik soared to a personal best of 827 in April — a leap that had opponents blinking twice. Blitz ratings have been more modest with a peak at 648, but don't let those numbers fool you; this player brings serious heat when the clock ticks quickly.

Play Style: A Mix of Mystery & Endgame Endurance

With an Early Resignation Rate hanging at just over 3%, Henessy clearly prefers to fight to the last move. More than half of the games tip past the 50-move mark, showcasing endurance and a love for the endgame struggle. Though lamtakopitik's average winning game clocks in at nearly 50 moves, losses tend to drag on longer — a sign of resilience (or perhaps stubbornness) in true warrior spirit.

Tactical Wizardry & Mental Fortitude

This player isn’t one to throw in the towel easily — with a comeback rate hovering close to 81%, Henessy has a knack for turning tides. Losing a piece might make others panic, but lamtakopitik keeps calm with a 52% win rate even after setbacks. A tilt factor of 4 suggests frustrations are part of the game, yet the chessboard remains a battlefield for deliberate, strategic combat.

Favorite Opener? That’s a Top Secret

While most players stick to the classics, Henessy keeps opponents guessing with a mysterious "Top Secret" opening, winning nearly 58% of these 216 rapid games. The Kings Pawn and other traditional openings seem less favored, often ending with a shake of the head from lamtakopitik and a win for the other side.

Performance Highlights & Memorable Matches

• Longest winning streak: 8 games — proving that when Henessy’s on fire, it’s hard to put out the blaze.
• Recent decisive victory over HafizKusuma by resignation, showcasing cool nerves against aggressive Queen’s Pawn Opening variations.
• Not every story is a win: a tough loss on time to hbjbghv reminds us even the best can mismanage the clock!

Win Rate by Opponents: A Tale of Extremes

Some opponents meet defeat time and again (mujimoftmarmo, kaapeli34, majookie_cookie) enjoying a 100% loss rate — quite the personal highlight reel there. Meanwhile, a few recurring rivals like meandthepenguins have Henessy’s number, reminding even the quickest tactician can be humbled.

Time to Play

Early birds beware! Henessy’s peak playing hours include a perfect 9 AM win rate, and Saturdays and Tuesdays bring slightly better chances of victory. Perhaps mornings are for coffee and calculating forks?

The Final Word

Henessy, alias lamtakopitik, is that chess player who mixes mystery, resilience, and a dose of humor into every game. Known for sticking it out in long battles, preferring secretive openings, yet capable of flashy comebacks, this player is as unpredictable as a squirrel on a chessboard. Opponents never know whether to expect a crushing endgame or a sudden resignation, but one thing’s for sure: every game is an adventure.
