Abel Mathewos Tilahun: The Candidate Master with a Classic Touch

Meet Abel Mathewos Tilahun, known in the chess world as abelmat, a mighty strategist who has proudly earned the Candidate Master title from FIDE. Abel blends classical patience with bursts of tactical fireworks, proving that slow and steady (and sometimes fast and furious) wins more than just the race—it wins games.

Starting from humble ratings in 2012 with a Blitz peak of around 1351 and a Rapid hovering under 900, Abel's journey is a testament to hard grind and passion. Fast forward to the roaring 2020s, and you’ll find abelmat blitzing into the 2200s in Blitz, pushing Rapid ratings over 2200, and sharpening Bullet skills up to the high 1900s. Definitely not a player who shies away from a fast-paced challenge!

Abel’s gameplay is as consistent as that morning coffee: an average of 70 moves per win and a true warrior's spirit shown in an astounding 85.67% comeback rate. If abelmat loses a piece, you can bet they'll bounce back, winning virtually 100% of such battles—not to mention a low early resignation rate of just 1.09%, proving a stubborn streak worthy of any chess legend.

Their psychological resilience is fascinating: a tilt factor of 13 suggests even if things get tough, abelmat keeps cool, although some days might bring a minor dip in casual game performance. Playing style-wise, they prefer endgames (nearly 82% frequency), showing a deep love for the quiet, intense battles where one mistake can be fatal—and abelmat is ready to capitalize.

Abel’s record against opponents is an eclectic symphony of wins, losses, and well-fought draws, reflecting a player who has sparred with thousands across years and time controls. From bullet skirmishes to rapid duels and classical marathons, there’s hardly a format or opponent abelmat hasn’t faced with courage and humor.

When not plotting checkmates, you might find abelmat gaming late into the night (an impressive 62% win rate at 8 PM, anyone?), or breaking down opening secrets with a win rate hovering around 38-42% in Blitz and Rapid. It's clear: whether early morning or late evening, abelmat’s board presence is formidable, their passion infectious.

In short: Abel Mathewos Tilahun is the kind of player who embodies perseverance, tactical brilliance, and a splash of quirkiness—because every great chess story deserves a little personality. Watch out world, abelmat is here to make the pawns dance and the kings tremble!
