Abdul Kahim (aka Abz83)
If chess were a battlefield, Abdul Kahim would be the stubborn fortress that refuses to be taken down. With a career that spans numerous games, ratings that have genuinely evolved, and a penchant for high-stakes tactics, Abz83 is definitely a player to watch — if only to wonder how many pawns he has sacrificed along the way.
Rating Evolution and Play Counts
- Bullet Chess: Starting with a modest 803 in 2018, peaking at a surprisingly decent 1769 in 2023, and currently holding strong at 1503 in 2024, Abdul has played tens of thousands of games — don’t ask how many coffee breaks were sacrificed!
- Blitz: From a humble 1025 in 2018 to a blazing 1434 in 2023, with over 17,000 games played, his fast chess might be faster than the speed of his internet connection.
- Daily & Rapid: He dabbled in daily chess, achieving a peak of 1251 and showing strategic patience, while his rapid play peaked near 1395, proving he can keep up when the game's tempo slows just a bit.
Playing Style & Strengths
Abz83 loves a good long game — with an average of nearly 68 moves per win and a sweet spot in endgames, he's the type who doesn’t just sneak a victory but builds a masterpiece. His early resignation rate is a humble 1.42%, indicating he only waves the white flag when necessary (or when he spills his drink over his board).
Even when the game looks grim (losing a piece), Abdul's win rate after losing a piece is an incredible 100% — we suspect he’s got some Jedi mind tricks hidden up his sleeve. His comeback rate? Over 84%. The guy’s basically what you’d call a ‘chess phoenix.’
Psychological Trends
Like all us mere mortals, he has his tilt moments, but he keeps it cool with a tilt factor of 19. Rated games are where he flexes, boasting a win difference over casual games by nearly 28%. So, don’t challenge him when it counts unless you’re making a documentary about perseverance!
Battle History & Opponents
With over 18,000 bullet wins and a similarly staggering number in other categories, he's no stranger to battlefield carnage. His most frequent battlefield foes include feedthebigfella with 40 duels and josuat with 36, where his win rates vary wildly (some seem to be his Kryptonite while others, like gopalki, he beats 100% of the time… do they let him win?!)
Fun Facts
- His peak blitz rating of 1434 comes with a side of lightning-fast decisions and possibly some hidden caffeine addiction.
- When playing bullet on a Saturday, his win rate subtly rises to nearly 49%, because who doesn’t like blitzing out a win to kick off the weekend?
- Best hour to challenge him? 20:00 (8 PM) — he has a perfect 50.09% win rate when the day starts to wind down.
All in all, Abdul Kahim’s chess journey is a thrilling mix of resilience, rapid-fire tactics, and a dash of mystery. Whether you're a pawn or a queen in his game, expect he's out there plotting the next great comeback — or oddly enjoying the spectacle of your blunders.
