Ali Morshedi - FIDE Master and Blitz Conqueror

Meet Ali Morshedi, a titled chess warrior known across the digital realms as 16wise. With the prestigious title of FIDE Master under their belt, Ali has demonstrated a profound understanding of the royal game, pushing pawns and knights with the precision of a grandmaster's instinct.

Ali's journey in chess began humbly – with a Blitz rating of 1441 back in 2016, a number that might remind us all of the first time we tried to juggle flaming torches. But Ali didn't just juggle; they mastered the fiery pace, skyrocketing to an impressive peak Blitz rating of 2405 in September 2018—a true testament to their tactical brilliance and stamina. The rapid-fire nature of Blitz chess doesn't scare Ali; it’s the playground where foresight meets lightning speed.

Diving deeper into Ali's style, their games reveal a player who loves to outlast opponents, averaging almost 60 moves per win in Blitz. They’re no quitter, with an early resignation rate lower than your morning coffee’s temperature tolerance – only 0.14! And if they lose a piece? Don't count Ali out just yet; an outstanding 83% comeback rate shows they thrive in chaos, turning disadvantages into victory dances.

Those late afternoon games at around 4 PM might be when Ali’s crown shines brightest, with the best win rates at this hour, reminding us that geniuses come with their own sacred hours. Ali can wear either color well, boasting a White win rate of about 54% and Black at a respectable 50%, proving that they don’t rely on the first move advantage but on cunning and strategy.

When it comes to openings, Ali keeps some secrets tucked away (literally titled “Top Secret” in over 4500 Blitz games), but isn’t afraid to throw down the gauntlet with 100% win rates in tricky lines like the Pirc Defense Classical Variation and Ruy Lopez Jaenisch Schonemann Attack. Clearly, Ali is comfortable navigating both uncharted waters and classical battlegrounds.

Recent highlights include a flamboyant checkmate victory using the Pirc Defense – a true spectacle where patience and aggression collided beautifully! Ali’s resilience and adaptability also reflect in their ongoing winning streaks, with a seasoned ability to shake off down moments, keeping the tilt factor impressively low at 13.

Off the board? Ali probably enjoys the thrill of unpredictable chess duels, whether bullet, rapid, or blitz, where their rapid reflexes and insightful mind make them a formidable opponent — and quite possibly someone you wouldn’t want to be stuck next to during a tense match.

One thing’s for sure: Ali Morshedi isn’t just playing chess; they are crafting masterpieces under pressure while laughing in the face of early resignation. The 16wise blitz king continues to conquer one move at a time, proving that every pawn has a story and every checkmate, a legend.

Hi Ali, here’s a focused review of your recent blitz play.

Quick Snapshot

  • Peak strength: around 2405 (2018-09-01).
  • Preferred colour schemes: 1.e4 with aggressive pawn storms; King’s Indian setups as Black.
  • Game length: many results decided before move 30—either by checkmate or the clock.

What You Already Do Well

  1. Initiative-first mindset. In your win vs ptolemaiosz the sequence 8.Qh5+ Kf8 9.Qxh7! launched a powerful attack:

    .
  2. Piece activity. You rarely allow passive pieces; doubling rooks and planting knights on outposts (e.g. N d5 vs LuckInTheRain) is a recurring strength.
  3. Killer instinct. Once the opposing king is exposed you convert quickly—five recent mates before move 25.

Main Areas To Improve

  1. Time management. Five of your last six losses were on time in playable or winning positions—a chronic case of zeitnot.
    • Adopt a “60-second rule”: never let the clock dip below 1:00 before move 15.
    • Use the opponent’s think-time to calculate, not to admire the position.
    • Practise 1-minute “guess-the-move” drills to sharpen pattern speed.
  2. Opening economy. Experiments like 2…f6 in the French (loss vs Robert Caponpon) invite needless risk.
    • As Black, trade 2…f6 for sound French lines (…Nf6) or the Caro-Kann.
    • As White, balance your Bishop’s/Vienna hybrids with a solid Italian or Ruy Lopez backup for must-win games.
  3. Endgame conversion. You outplayed beppumop cleanly, yet flagged in other winning endings. Spend 10 minutes/day on rook-and-pawn basics and tablebase checks to tighten technique.

Opening-Specific Pointers

  • Pirc/Modern as White. Your h-pawn storms (win vs sotu911) work when timed with 11.e5!—push only once pieces are ready.
  • Najdorf as White. The Nd4-f5 idea vs luckintherain was strong; add classics with 12.Be3 & g4 to broaden plans.
  • King’s Indian as Black. The …b5 pawn sac in the Saemisch (loss vs alchop99) is thematic, but finish development before …f5. Study Kasparov’s model games for move-order nuance.

Four-Week Micro-Plan

  1. Week 1 – Tactics: 30 puzzles/day, focus on mates ≤3 moves.
  2. Week 2 – Openings: annotate 3 master games/day in your main lines.
  3. Week 3 – Endgames: daily rook-vs-pawn & minor-piece technique, plus engine sparring.
  4. Week 4 – Clock discipline: 20 blitz games with the sole goal “finish each move with ≥2 sec increment still in stock.”

Keep the attacking flair, tighten the clock and the openings, and 2400+ is within reach. Good luck & enjoy the journey!
