Ahmet Emre Göher (aeg0her)
Ahmet Emre Göher, known to his online opponents as aeg0her, is the kind of chess player who treats every game like a thrilling novel—sometimes a comedy, sometimes a tragedy, but always with a twist.
Chess Journey
With a Bullet peak rating hovering around the mid-800s, Ahmet navigates the dizzying, lightning-fast battles of bullet chess with a knack for resilience. Averaging around 579 in 2023 and pushing into the 600s at times, he’s proven that speed is not without its pitfalls (and occasional miraculous escapes!). His Blitz and Rapid games tell a tale of tenacity and experimentation, reaching highs over 1500 in Blitz back in 2021 and showing a steady grip in Rapid with peaks near 920 in recent years.
Style & Strategy
With a remarkable 79.97% comeback rate, Ahmet has the spirit of a true fighter — losing a piece doesn’t make him fold, it only lights the fire for a spectacular turnaround. His endgame frequency is impressively high at over 60%, indicating a love for grinding out results in the final phases of the game, whether with White or Black. If you think you can rattle him, beware! His tilt factor is a modest 9, meaning he keeps his gloves on and stays focused even after the rough nights.
Favorite Openings
Opening repertoire wise, Ahmet favors reliable favorites with some eclectic tastes. In Bullet, he shines with the Reti Opening and the Queen's Pawn variations, boasting win rates often above 50%, with the Scotch Game and King's Pawn openings delivering his best bang for the buck (over 60% wins!). He has dabbled in openings like the Caro-Kann and English Opening with decent success, showing a flair for strategic, less-trodden paths.
Online Rivalries
Among his many opponents, Ahmet has a love-hate relationship with some regulars. He’s undefeated against “guysknightout” and nails wins against “expertgeniousai” with a perfect 100% record. However, some opponents like “abhayvv” and “eltunas1414” consistently put up a challenge, giving him a run for his money and reminding him humility is part of the game.
Recent Battles
Recently victorious, Ahmet’s tactical prowess was on full display as he deftly outmaneuvered Szorcsik in a hard-fought game, securing a win on time with a smart defensive stance. Not every day is a win, of course — his most recent loss ended in a dramatic checkmate with the English Opening Anglo-Indian Scandinavian Exchange, proving even the best have their off moments.
Fun Facts
- Ahmet’s best hour to play? Around 11 AM and 23 PM, where his win rates soar beyond 60%—possibly fueled by coffee and late-night snacks.
- Longest winning streak? A stunning 12 wins in a row. That’s enough to make Magnus nervously glance at the scoreboard.
- He’s earned the nickname “Comeback Kid” among his friends for turning seemingly lost games into glorious victories.
Whether bullet bluster, rapid rounds, or slow buildup in daily matches, Ahmet Emre Göher plays with the heart of a champion—sometimes the grace of a grandmaster, sometimes the charm of a plucky underdog, but always with a smile and a sharp mind.
