FIDE Master Amir Hosein Kashefi (ahkashefi2800)

Meet Amir Hosein Kashefi, a formidable chess talent proudly bearing the title of FIDE Master. Known online as ahkashefi2800, Amir is not just your average player; he's a strategic maestro mastering the art of the checkmate with a flair that's equal parts brilliance and grit.

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! His bullet speed is no joke either, reaching a peak of 2567, proving he's got lightning-fast reflexes and razor-sharp tactics fired from his fingers. Rapid games are another realm where Amir shines with a sprawling peak rating of 2373, showcasing his adaptable playstyle across time controls.

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.

Fun Fact

If chess had a marathon, Amir would be its champion: on average, he plays longer games with solid defense and cunning attacks, proving that patience isn’t just a virtue but a winning strategy. And if you ever fancy seeing a chess duel unfold like a slow-burning thriller, just watch Amir play!

In a nutshell, Amir Hosein Kashefi is the chess player who reminds us all: it’s not just about the king; it’s about stamina, style, and the will to win one move at a time.

Overall Performance Trend

Amir Hosein, your recent performance indicates a positive short-term trend, especially evident in the last one and three months where your ratings have increased by 49 and 97 points respectively. Your strength adjusted win rate is slightly above average at about 51%, showing consistent play against your competition.

While your 6-month rating dips slightly by 20 points and the 12-month trend is downward, the current slope improvements over 1 and 3 months suggest you are on an upswing and making effective adjustments to your game.

Strengths

  • Opening Repertoire: You are comfortable with solid openings such as the Queen's Gambit Declined and Indian Game, which have served you well, leading to several victories in recent games.
  • Endgame Technique: In your wins, you demonstrated strong endgame resourcefulness, converting slight advantages efficiently.
  • Positional Play: You showed good strategic understanding by controlling key squares and pressuring your opponent’s weaknesses, particularly in complex middle games.
  • Time Management in Blitz: You handle your clock well, maintaining balance between quick play and accuracy.

Areas for Improvement

  • Handling Pressure in Tactical Situations: Some losses stemmed from tactical oversights or missing forcing moves from your opponents. Reviewing tactical motifs regularly can help sharpen this aspect.
  • Opening Flexibility: Although your opening choices are solid, adding diversity or preparing deeper lines against opponent’s surprises could prevent early disadvantages.
  • Transition to Endgame: There were games where middlegame choices allowed your opponents to gain easier endgame chances. Aim to maintain or increase your advantage before simplifying.
  • Defending Difficult Positions: In a few losses, better defensive resourcefulness might have led to saving or drawing the game. Studying defensive technique in challenging positions can aid this.

Practical Recommendations

  • Spend focused time studying common tactical themes and solve puzzles regularly to improve pattern recognition.
  • Expand your opening repertoire gradually with lines that complement your style, especially anticipating common responses to your favorite openings.
  • Analyze key positions from your recent losses to spot recurring strategic or tactical mistakes.
  • Review classical endgame principles and practice converting small advantages under time pressure.
  • Use your increasing rating momentum to build confidence but remain cautious of the negative 12-month trend by maintaining consistency.

Selected Game Highlight

In your recent game where you played the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation, you skillfully capitalized on opponent’s weaknesses in the endgame, demonstrating excellent technique. Keep reinforcing these strengths! [[Link|game|See|https://www.chess.com/game/live/137134256847]]
