Ahmed Fares (aka AhmedFares1991)
Meet Ahmed Fares, a chess player whose rating journey has been as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride—full of ups, downs, and plenty of unexpected twists. Starting with a rapid rating around 778 in 2021, Ahmed's love for the game is evident, even if the scoreboard hasn't always reflected it. By 2025, his rapid rating dipped to a humble 102, but don’t count him out just yet; this is a player who fights on despite tough odds.
Ahmed’s blitz battles are brief but intense, with a current rating of 100 and an average win rate hovering around 15%. Sure, he’s lost more games than he’s won, but let’s just say he plays like a lion... that sometimes naps mid-game.
Opening Repertoire and Style
When it comes to openings, Ahmed favors classic lines like the King's Pawn Opening and its King's Knight Variation, boasting a neat 40-50% win rate there. He has also dabbled in defensive structures like the Philidor Defense and the less popular Van t Kruijs Opening—which might explain some of those rollercoaster results. His blitz openings are a bit of a wild card, featuring everything from Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense to the Caro Kann Defense where he achieved a perfect win rate, proving he can strike gold occasionally!
Game Play & Psychological Traits
Ahmed is not one to surrender easily; his comeback rate after losing a piece is an impressive 100%. However, he sometimes succumbs to the dreaded “tilt” with a 20% tilt factor—because who hasn’t thrown a pawn or two at the screen after a blunder? Interestingly, he has a tendency to resign early about 12% of the time, perhaps saving energy for the next epic showdown.
His endgames are frequent and battle-hardened (played in roughly 51% of games), with an average win taking around 42 moves, suggesting he’s in for the long haul—chess marathons, not sprints.
Notable Recent Games
Ahmed’s most recent victories were earned in creative, sometimes wild games where he triumphed on time or by resignation, showing strategic patience and perhaps a bit of luck. His losses, on the other hand, tend to come as ruthless checkmates or game abandonments, a humbling reminder that even grandmasters in spirit must bow to crafty opponents.
