FIDE Master Yousef A. Alhassadi

Known in the chess arena by the username AlhassadiYousefA4, Yousef A. Alhassadi holds the prestigious title of FIDE Master. This title, awarded by the international chess federation, recognizes Yousef’s tactical intelligence and dedication to the royal game.

Yousef’s journey through the blitz battlefield has been a rollercoaster of battles, with a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2253 in January 2025. Bullet chess enthusiasts will note a peak of 2134 in February 2025. With a game style that often marches toward the endgame, Yousef frequently tests endurance and strategy, averaging about 56 moves when victory does come, proving patience is indeed a virtue.

The scoreboard tells a tale of grit: despite a challenging blitz win/loss record of 2 wins to 12 losses, and a bullet record evenly split at 1 win and 1 loss, Yousef’s resilience shines—he boasts a 100% comeback rate. Losing a piece? No worries! Yousef’s fighting spirit means he still snatches victory 20% of the time from these dire situations.

Every streak tells a story and Yousef’s includes a humble longest winning streak of 2 games, peppered with a few nail-biting losing streaks up to 6–because in chess, you learn much more from losses than wins. When things get tense, he rates a modest tilt factor of 6, meaning frustration visits briefly before the focus resets.

Humorously, opponents can consider themselves lucky—or unlucky, depending on perspective—since Yousef’s wins sometimes come from timeouts (yes, he once won on time like a true ninja). His preferred times to play are afternoon to early evening, especially around 5 PM, when the brain apparently clicks its strategic gears best.

“Chess is 99% tactics and 1% stubbornness,” Yousef might say after a game, given his early resignation rate of about 8%—he knows when to fight and when to conserve energy for the next battle.

His opening repertoire remains a bit of a Top Secret weapon with a blitz win rate of roughly 14%, but he’s shown promise by squeaking out a 50% win rate in bullet matches with these mysterious lines.

Whether facing chess veterans or newer challengers, Yousef’s tenacity on the 64 squares proves that it’s not always about winning instantly, but about fighting smart, staying sharp, and sometimes, winning on time.

For those interested in witnessing his future duels, the latest games — for better or worse — are always thrilling skirmishes rich in tactics, timing battles, and a spirit that refuses to quit.
