Ahmed Ali

Meet Ahmed Ali - aka "abo-3lii", the Chess Gladiator

Ahmed Ali is not your everyday chess player. Known online as abo-3lii, he’s the kind of competitor who battles fiercely on the 64 squares and sometimes loses sleep pondering whether that pawn push was a genius or a blunder. With a peak rapid rating of 726 achieved in May 2025, Ahmed has shown flashes of brilliance that keep his opponents on edge – or scratching their heads.

Playing Style & Personality

Ahmed's games often resemble a thrilling chess soap opera. His average moves per win hover around 47, so if you're his opponent, expect a long, tactical rollercoaster rather than a quick knockout. He’s a resilient warrior with a 69% comeback rate, meaning if he loses a piece, don’t write him off just yet – he might just turn the tables and win anyway! That said, his tilt factor clocks in at 6, so every now and then, emotions do get the better of him. But who can blame him? Chess is a stressful kingdom!

Opening Choices and Signature Moves

When it comes to openings, Ahmed loves the Queen's Pawn Opening - Chigorin Variation, with over 27 games under his belt, so if you match up against him, prepping for this line might be wise. He’s also proficient in the French Defense Normal Variation boasting a 75% win rate there – clearly, he doesn’t shy away from tough positional battles.

Fun fact: his perfect record with the King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation (100% win rate over 3 games) makes it clear he knows how to exploit the smallest weaknesses. Beware the sneaky knight moves!

Rapid, Blitz, Bullet – The Speed Demon

Ahmed prefers Blitz chess, though his stats reveal a rollercoaster ride: from a peak Blitz rating of 477 in May 2025 to recent games where survival is half the battle. Bullet is his "diamond in the rough" with a top rating of 340 and a 50% win-loss equilibrium, proving he sometimes trades precision for excitement.

Battle Scars & Highlights

With over 63 wins and 70 losses in Rapid games, Ahmed embodies the eternal struggler, never giving up, no matter the scoreboard. His longest winning streak is 6 games, matched by an equally dramatic losing streak of the same length — hey, it's all part of the chess circus!

Ahmed’s most memorable recent triumph came when he forced his opponent to resign in a gripping Blitz battle featuring the Vienna Game - Falkbeer Variation, showcasing his steely nerves and tactical prowess.

When to Challenge Ahmed

The best time to get Ahmed on the board? Around 10:00 AM when his win rate peaks at 100%. Late-night challengers beware: at 6 AM, his win rate drops to 0%, so maybe let him sleep in before trying your luck.

Opponent Watch

Ahmed has mixed fortunes against his frequent opponents. He dominates players like ahmed_2_3_ismail with an 83% win rate but struggles against some others with zero wins. Yet, win or lose, every game is a masterclass in determination.
