Haojia Shi

Profile: Haojia Shi (a.k.a. madwirytank)

Haojia Shi, known in the chess world as madwirytank, is a tenacious player who dances on the 64 squares like a strategic whirlwind. Starting out around 2020, Haojia steadily climbed the ratings ladder, peaking in blitz with an impressive 1199 rating, showing a flair for fast and furious games that keep both opponents and spectators on their toes.

With a stubborn spirit and an early resignation rate of nearly 27%, Haojia doesn’t shy away from admitting defeat quickly—perhaps a strategy to save energy for the next battle! But don’t be fooled by early surrenders; the player boasts a come back rate of over 37%, proving resilience is the name of the game. When losing a piece, Haojia’s win rate bounces back spectacularly at 76%, showing a knack for turning tables and making opponents sweat.

Haojia prefers to experiment with openings shrouded in mystery—the "Top Secret" opening alone has a win rate north of 76%! The favorite king’s pawn opening is their trusted weapon, winning a whopping 88% of the time in daily games and 71% in blitz. Meanwhile, the Four Knights Game and Giuoco Piano have also seen some impressive results, though sometimes with mixed fortunes—chess is never boring here.

Time is an intriguing enemy for Haojia; their best winning chances appear between 8 AM and 9 AM with a dazzling 58–60% success rate, and late night hours can bring a surprising 80% win rate at 11 PM. However, mornings and weekends seem to be the real power hours for this player’s tactical brilliance.

Known opponents often find themselves either utterly dominated or lovingly spared—with some boasting a perfect 100% loss record against Haojia, while others have managed to exploit the occasional “tilt” phase. The tilt factor stands modestly at 12%, meaning madwirytank can keep cool under fire most of the time.

Haojia’s style is a curious blend: tactical awareness meets psychological warfare—sometimes throwing in cheeky early resignations yet fighting valiantly in the endgame roughly one-third of the time. On average, Haojia’s wins are quick bursts of about 30 moves, while losses drag on a bit longer, hinting they fight for every last pawn.

In sum, Haojia Shi is a chess player who combines unpredictable opening strategies, resilient comebacks, and timing precision with a hint of humor on the side—just like a mad wiry tank rolling through opponents with relentless, quirky charm.
