Player Profile: raaahulk
Meet raaahulk, the relentless chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as dynamic as a rollercoaster ride — with a touch more strategy and possibly fewer screaming thrills. In 2024, raaahulk stormed the Blitz scene with a peak rating of 726, a number that dipped and dove like a knight’s tricky dance, landing at 409 by year’s end. But persistence pays off, and 2025 saw a commendable rebound to 581 in Blitz and a bullet debut rating of 302 — proving that fast and furious moves are their forte.
On the Daily chess board, raaahulk reached a solid high of 1055 in 2025, showcasing patient tactical prowess in slower formats. Rapid games? Let’s just say the journey’s been a bit bumpier there, with some tough lessons learned and no recent rating to brag about.

Opening Repertoire Highlights
A fearless adopter of the Scandinavian Defense, where raaahulk boasts a victory rate exceeding 53% in Blitz games — not bad for a defense often underestimated by casual players. They also wield the Englund Gambit with surprising effectiveness; no wonder opponents might nervously reconsider their opening choices. The Queen’s Pawn Opening in various guises, including Chigorin and Horwitz variations, features prominently in the arsenal, yielding solid wins and keeping opponents on their toes.
Tactical Tendencies & Psychology
With a remarkable 57.8% comeback rate, raaahulk embodies the true fighting spirit—losing material doesn’t mean it's game over. In fact, after losing a piece, their win rate soars to 100%, which either signals incredible resilience or that opponents should think twice before snagging pieces without consequence. The "tilt factor" of 14 hints at some emotional volatility—but hey, even chess geniuses have their off moments.
Performance Trends
When it comes to timing, raaahulk is sharper in the prime midday hours (between 10 AM and 2 PM, boasting over 54% win rates), whereas evenings and late nights might provoke a slight dip—a plausible case for a nap or a snack break. Weekends are friendly territory, particularly Saturdays and Wednesdays with just over 50% win rates.
Fun Fact
Despite numerous games fought against opponents like gabriella_ches and eladrise4, results vary dramatically—showcasing raaahulk's unpredictable and adventurous style. Whether facing a blitz beast or a daily strategist, expect a battle full of twists, gambits, and occasional Hulk-level power moves.
All said, while raaahulk's rating might not yet shake the grandmasters, their passion, resilience, and unyielding approach make every game an exciting saga. So if you dare challenge them, prepare for a match where patience, surprises, and tactical wizardry abound!
