Ahlam Makhlouf (aka Ahlamee) - Woman FIDE Master
Meet Ahlam Makhlouf, a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as her varied rating history! Awarded the prestigious title of Woman FIDE Master by the international chess federation, Ahlamee is a force to be reckoned with, whether playing blitz, rapid, or bullet.
Rising Through the Ranks
Starting from modest blitz ratings around 1270 in 2017, Ahlam steadily improved year over year to peak at an impressive 1617 in blitz by 2022. Her rapid play shows even more dominance, hitting a top rating of 1713 in 2023 — quite a sprint for those longer time controls! Bullet chess? She’s had fun there too, scoring respectable peaks around 1390 before choosing to focus more on the other formats.
Style & Strategy
Ahlam favors a strategic approach, averaging about 55 moves per winning game, demonstrating patience and skill in the endgame, which makes up over half of her matches. With an early resignation rate of just 18%, she’s tough to shake off—even when down a piece, her 100% win rate after losing material is nothing short of magical.
Winning Streaks & Rivalries
This player’s longest winning streak clocks in at a jaw-dropping 12 games. Opponents beware: Ahlam’s known to push back fiercely when challenged. While her win rate against some top rivals varies wildly (from crushing certain foes 100% of the time to struggling against others), she never shies away from a complex battle.
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Her highest rapid rating came after an electrifying six wins in six games in 2023 – talk about on fire!
- Her psychological tilt factor is low, so don’t expect her to crumble under pressure (though she's human, after all!).
- She seems to enjoy playing late at night and early morning hours, boasting nearly perfect win rates during the weird hours of 3 AM and 4 AM.
Whether it’s blitz chaos or the calm of rapid battles, Ahlame’s mix of resilience, tactical genius, and playful spirit make her a delightful and formidable player on the chessboard — someone who's always plotting her next winning move with a twinkle in her eye!
