Profile: Winnainglwin939 (Happy Chess)
Hailing from the Myanmar chess scene, Winnainglwin939, known far and wide as Happy Chess, is a force of nature on the 64 squares. With a blitz peak rating soaring close to the 2400 mark (2,389!) achieved in early 2022, this player combines rapid calculation with a touch of "I’m here to have fun and maybe confuse you" vibe.
A veteran of thousands of blitz battles (over 17,000 wins!), Happy Chess isn’t just lightning-fast but remarkably strong in rapid and bullet too, peaking at 2,226 and 1,975 respectively. The player’s style is a curious mix of patience and tactical sharpness, flaunting an impressive comeback rate of more than 84%, meaning they often snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. When in winning mode, Happy Chess doesn’t rush — games won average 74 moves — but when losing, the struggle often lasts even longer. That’s determination, or just stubbornness; we let you judge!
The opening repertoire reveals a fondness for classic and solid systems, peppered with flair: a staple is the Queen's Pawn Opening — especially the Accelerated London System, Indian Game, and French Defense variations. With a win rate hovering around 57-59% in these lines, this player clearly enjoys the slow burn and positional complexity, aiming to outmaneuver opponents over several hours (or minutes), depending on the time control.
Fun fact: Happy Chess’s best time to strike is midnight — a true midnight marauder, crushing pawns and dreams alike under the cover of digital darkness. Also, if you see them resign early, don’t panic — their early resignation rate is a humble 2.2%, suggesting they mostly fight 'til the last rook falls, or the flag drops.
Among opponents, Happy Chess has battled dandamar the most (107 times!) — apparently, a rivalry for the ages — and has a bit of a winning edge over many, including a 100% win record against several players they met more than once. Looking to catch this player online? Expect gritty fights, a dash of tactical fireworks, and a good chance of a smiley win (or laugh-inducing blunder) on both sides.
