Mahmoud Alferu - The Calculating Contender (aka alferu7112)

Meet Mahmoud Alferu, a chess enthusiast who dances with the board on the rapid battlefield. Known online as alferu7112, Mahmoud’s journey in chess ratings tells a story of persistence, strategy, and the occasional rollercoaster ride. With a peak rapid rating of 1227 in November 2020 and a blitz high of 1378 just days later, he once blitzed through opponents faster than you can say "checkmate," before settling into a rockier but steady climb.

His game count in rapid formats dons the badge of experience: over 250 games with 91 wins, 117 losses, and 13 draws. His solid endgame approach shines with an endgame frequency of 66.67% and an impressive comeback rate of nearly 76%. When the going gets tough and the pieces start disappearing, Mahmoud holds strong and fights for victories against the odds.

The openings? Oh, he’s a curious strategist. Preferring the mysteries of "Unknown Opening" and "Top Secret" (no spoilers here!), Mahmoud also favors the classic Queen's Pawn with a respectable 61.54% win rate. Interestingly, he hasn't shied away from the occasional King's Pawn gambit, boasting a perfect 100% win rate in those rare bouts. Perhaps he treats the King's Pawn like a secret weapon – use it wisely and watch the magic!

Despite a few stumbles (nobody likes losing streaks, but his longest was eight games, proving patience is a virtue), Mahmoud’s current winning streak is alive and kicking at one, eagerly awaiting the next challenge. His typical day? Chess thrives best when others snooze – Mahmoud's best play time is a mysterious 3:00 AM, perhaps under a solitary lamp, conjuring tactics that surprise even himself!

And speaking of tactics, don’t blink! He has an average of about 62 moves when winning and doesn’t quit easily, with an early resignation rate hovering just above 2%. When he wins, it’s often by resignation or checkmate – no quick draws here.

Off the board, Mahmoud is known to be a psychological wielder of "tilt factor" 8—meaning he's human and can feel the sting of a losing match, but clearly rebounds well. His resilience is epitomized by notable wins like the recent resounding victory over jakefofs, where precise Queen maneuvers and knight forks orchestrated a brilliant resignation.

To sum it up, Mahmoud Alferu is a chess player who blends patience, calculated risks, and a sprinkle of midnight madness to keep his foes on their toes. Whether rapid or blitz, his games tell a tale of learning, fighting, and sometimes triumph – all with a touch of charm and unwavering love for the royal game.
