Adel Choukri - The FIDE Master with a Bullet in Their Arsenal

Meet Adel Choukri, known in the chess circles and online as adel1991, a FIDE Master whose chess journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride through the blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily time controls. If chess was a race, Adel would be the lightning bolt with a calculated twist, firing off moves faster than you can say "checkmate," yet with the patience of a saint to grind out long endgames.

From Humble Beginnings to Rocket Ratings

Starting bullet chess in 2010 with a modest rating close to 1200, Adel soared to a blazing peak of 2807 by 2024. That's faster than most people’s typing speed—and with fewer typos! While rapid play remains a bit of an enigma (hovering around 2009), their blitz prowess consistently impresses, with ratings often pushing beyond 2500 and frequent battles against some of the fiercest opponents out there.

The Style: Endgame Expert & Tactical Maestro

If you think bullet chess is all about luck and wild sacrifices, think again. Adel’s matches often stretch to an average of about 76 moves per win or loss—proof of deep strategic endurance. The chessboard becomes a battlefield where they expertly navigate endgames (happening in over 80% of their games), thrive even after losing pieces (with a jaw-dropping 98.9% win rate post-loss), and stage comebacks like a true warrior—winning back from the brink with a 90% comeback rate.

Opponent Beware!

Their favorite opening is closely guarded as a "Top Secret," but the results speak louder than words. Across nearly 6,000 bullet games, Adel boasts a near-50% win rate — a remarkable feat against countless challenging adversaries. Expect fierce battles, especially if you're never_walk_alone or bm_on_icc, some of the opponents they have squared off against most often.

Psychological Fun Facts

Even chess virtuosos have off days — Adel’s tilt factor is a modest 14, meaning occasional frustration sneaks in but is nothing a quick game can’t fix. Interestingly, despite dominating rated matches, casual games seem to trip them up a bit, showing that even masters can have fun and fail spectacularly when off-guard.

The Hours of Power

Night owls and early birds alike beware: Adel shows peak winning performance during odd hours (shoutout to 4 AM with an 80% win rate!) and late-morning spikes close to 58%. The 10 o’clock hour appears especially fruitful, so timing your matches right might just sway the outcome.

In Conclusion

Adel Choukri embodies the essence of a modern chess gladiator: fast, fierce, and deeply strategic with a sprinkle of unpredictability. Whether blitzing, bulleting, or playing daily, this FIDE Master continues to teach that speed isn’t everything—though it sure helps when paired with a killer instinct.
