Ahmed Kandil - FIDE Master and Chess Connoisseur
Meet Ahmed Kandil, known online as ahmedkandiliii, a FIDE Master renowned for turning pawns into legends and queens into queens of the board. With the prestigious FM title safely tucked under their belt, Ahmed tackles Blitz, Bullet, and Daily chess games with a mix of strategy, nerve, and just a pinch of chess wizardry.
Starting from humble blitz ratings around 1700 in early 2023, Ahmed's rapid ascent to a spectacular peak of 2797 in March 2025 reads like an epic chess fairytale. If rating points were gold coins, Ahmed would be the richest chess player in the realm! This rise was anything but a smooth ride—our master has faced brutal battles with lengthy streaks of wins and losses, yet always bounced back with a comeback rate of over 87%. Clearly, surrender is not in Ahmed’s vocabulary.
Ahmed's style? A blend of calculated risk and deep endgame mastery, with an impressive 84% frequency of endgame appearances and an average game of nearly 80 moves. This player is stubborn as a knight stuck in a corner, refusing early resignations (under 0.4%!), and showing tactical awareness worthy of a chess superhero.
When it comes to openings, Ahmed dances with the Unknown Opening as if they invented it, playing thousands of games with a solid 43% win rate—because who needs predictability? But occasionally, this virtuoso plays secret weapons like the “Top Secret” opening, sneaking in almost a 49% win rate in blitz and nearly 44% in bullet games. A mysterious mix worthy of spy novels!
Online, Ahmed’s opponents range from casual challengers to strong grandmasters, boasting a vast network of chess buddies and rivals - including extensive battles with a_kandil and gmjoey1. Their best time of day to strike? The magical hour of 6:00 AM, an early bird catching not just worms, but checkmates!
Recent matches highlight Ahmed’s killer instinct: a dazzling checkmate victory on June 3, 2025, wrapping up a Sicilian Defense encounter with clinical precision. And when not winning by the sharpest of tactics, Ahmed can end games on time, proving their endurance in those nail-biting final moments.
With thousands of games played and a persistent drive for glory, Ahmed Kandil is not just a chess player but a narrative-in-the-making, where every move tells a story of resilience, brilliance, and a dash of audacious fun.
Ready your pawns and knights—Ahmed is coming for the crown!
