Career Highlights
Since stepping onto the digital battlefield back in 2016, Amir has steadily climbed the ranks with a blitz peak rating soaring at an impressive 2654 as of October 2024 — quite a chess rollercoaster from the early days of 1392!

Playing Style & Stats
An aficionado of the long game, Amir loves the endgame, emerging there a staggering 83% of his games. His average winning games stretch over 78 moves, reflecting a resilience and persistence that’d make a tortoise blush against a hare.
Interestingly, Amir’s early resignation rate is a humble 2.35%, meaning he rarely throws in the towel early — this player fights on until the last piece hits the board. His comeback rate after setbacks? An astonishing 85.72% — because who doesn't love a good underdog story in chess?
Under pressure, Amir can sometimes fall victim to “tilt” (with a tilt factor of 11), but who doesn't after battling countless blitz warriors online? Fortunately, his best time to strike is daily around 2 PM, when his mind is sharpest and the opponent most doomed.
Record & Rivalries
With a total tally of 724 wins in blitz out of over 1,400 battles, Amir fights with nearly a 50% win rate — a battlefield veteran by all accounts. Bullet games are equally intense with over 1,200 battles and a slightly better than half win rate, while his rapid win rate spikes up noticeably to a commanding 72%, proving that when given a little breathing room, Amir pounces decisively.
Amir's most-played online sparring partner is warlordx, with 79 games played and a fierce 40.5% win rate against them — clearly a rivalry for the ages! Some opponents have fallen to his perfect 100% record, while others gave him a run for his money.
Notable Games
Amir’s latest chess escapades include an elegant victory over “gypsyviolin,” where he delivered a clean checkmate with his signature calm under pressure in a 44-move blitz game featuring the ever-popular Benko Gambit. When things go south, Amir bravely battles until the clock bites, as seen in recent losses where time management proved the ultimate rival.

Strengths

Areas for Improvement
