Meet Alkhin Ghahreman, a chess player who could probably write a book titled "How to Win with Indian Game and Scare Your Opponents". With a Blitz peak rating soaring up to 2285 in 2024 and a Bullet max of 1884, Alkhin’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of dramatic comebacks and intense tactical battles.
Alkhin’s style? A healthy dose of patience combined with a preference for the Indian Game, where he boasts a stellar 68% win rate in Bullet and keeps opponents guessing in Blitz with a mighty impressive 54% win rate. He’s also partial to classic openings like the Giuoco Piano and Sicilian Najdorf, showing versatility that keeps competitors on their toes.
Known for his 81% endgame frequency, Alkhin doesn't just blitz through games—he grinds the game down to its nervous endgame, where his tactical awareness really shines. His 86% comeback rate is proof he can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, making him a nightmare for opponents who think they have the upper hand.
But beware—Alkhin does have a quirky side. His early resignation rate is under 1%, showing he’s all about perseverance, unless he stumbles on a blunder so big even computers gasp. His average moves per win is around 63, meaning he enjoys a good strategic marathon rather than a quick knockout.
When not battling in Bullet or Blitz, Alkhin can be found puzzling through losses and wins at odd hours, with his best win streak clocked at an impressive 11 games. Evening strategist or early morning maestro? Well, according to his stats, the 6 AM hour is his golden time with a 58% win rate, and let's face it, waking up early is tough for all of us.
With a career peppered with fierce rivalries and many tough battles (he has played over 2,600 Bullet games!), Alkhin Ghahreman is a testament to the enduring spirit of chess—always learning, always fighting, occasionally frustrating opponents with non-stop pressure.
