Abbas Ghorbani Akerdi - aka abbasgakerdi
Abbas is a dedicated chess enthusiast whose journey is anything but boring. Starting off with a blazing Bullet rating of 1327 in 2022 from just a single game (talk about making it count!), Abbas dove headfirst into the Rapids and Blitzes of the chess world.
Over the years, Abbas has played hundreds of Rapid games, showcasing a competitive spirit with a near-equal split of wins and losses (quite the nail-biter!). With a total of over 833 Rapid games under the belt, victories are celebrated almost as often as defeats are analyzed—a true learner's mindset.
Not shy of tricky openings, Abbas prefers the Queen’s Pawn family of openings, especially shining in the Accelerated London and Chigorin Variations, where the win rate hovers respectfully above 50%. Defensive players beware: the Caro-Kann Defense has also been put through its paces with decent success. Although the St George Defense seems to be the Bermuda Triangle of this player's records—winning roughly only a third of those encounters.
Abbas's tactical awareness? Exceptional. When losing a piece, the win rate skyrockets to 100%, revealing a sneaky resilience and an uncanny ability to turn tables when the chips are down. And don’t be fooled by the occasional tilt (tilt factor 9!): it’s all part of the passionate battle on the checkered battlefield.
Abbas plays an average of 61.5 moves to victory, proving patience is a virtue, and despite the chess struggles, the comeback rate is a staggering 71%—the ultimate phoenix from the ashes player.
When asked when Abbas is at their best, the answer is clear: evenings and nights, specially at 8 pm and after 11 pm, and on Thursdays when the win rate peaks. Perhaps chess is the ultimate night owl’s game?
In summary: Abbas Ghorbani Akerdi might not yet be the grandmaster lighting up the world stage, but the stats tell the story of a fierce, strategic, and occasionally hilarious competitor who thrives under pressure and refuses to resign early (early resignation rate is impressively low at 2.29%). So if you ever find yourself facing abbasgakerdi on the board, brace yourself. They’ll draw, win, lose—but never go quietly!
