Known in chess circles as a mysterious force, Andrew Baker (or simply ShakEnBakE8426 to those who have battled him online) carves a unique path through the 64 squares. With a Blitz rating peaking at 319 and a Rapid max soaring to 704, Andrew’s style is a fascinating blend of tenacity and unpredictability.

Playing Style & Stats

A tactician at heart, Andrew boasts a remarkable comeback rate of over 55%, and astonishingly, a perfect 100% win record after losing a piece—proof that he thrives in chaos. Beware if you think you’ve snagged an easy pawn: this player turns adversity into victory like a grandmaster-level Houdini.

With an early resignation rate under 5%, he’s not one to quit easily, and his average game lengths tell a story — victories often come after nearly 48 moves, losses dragging on longer, around 58 moves. Patience and persistence are his game.

Preferred Timings & Moods

Andrew shines brightest on Tuesday afternoons, boasting a win rate above 55%, with a particularly lethal hour at 13:00 where he wins an impressive 75% of his matches. Oddly, his midnight games have a dismal 11% win rate—perhaps a sign to avoid challenge him at 8:00, where he holds a flawless 100% win rate instead.

Don’t expect flawless zen—his “tilt factor” of 8 suggests the occasional emotional rollercoaster, but hey, even the best have bad days!

Opponents Beware

His record against recent foes ranges from brutal clean sweeps to tough losses, but his most-played opponents sit evenly at about 50% each way—making every match against Andrew a true test of skill.

Fun Fact

Despite the serious numbers, Andrew earns his nickname “ShakEnBakE” for shaking up opponents with unpredictable openings labeled “Top Secret.” Win rates flirt around 49% in Blitz with this mysterious repertoire, making every match a thrilling puzzle.

In a nutshell: Andrew Baker is the charming chessfighter who doesn’t back down, plays his cards close to his chest, and knows how to turn every misstep into checkmate magic.
