Player Profile: Alousi
Meet Alousi, a chess enthusiast whose journey is anything but boring on the 64 squares. While not quite a Grandmaster, Alousi brings a unique blend of perseverance, tactical flair, and a dash of comedic resilience to every match.
Rating Rollercoaster
From humble beginnings with a blitz rating bouncing between 100 and 510 back in 2021, Alousi has steadily improved, boasting a respectable 407 blitz rating in 2025 after battling through over 200 games with an almost even win-loss record (104 wins to 92 losses). Rapid games tell a story of cautious experimentation (max 925 in 2021, dipping to ~534 in 2025), while daily games reveal a fighter not afraid to grind despite a tough record (4 wins to 18 losses).
Opening Moves: A Mixed Bag of Surprises
Alousi favors well-known classics with a fierce grip on the Scandinavian Defense—an opening that’s evidently working with an undefeated run: 17 games, 10 wins, and zero losses! The King's Pawn Openings and their variations also have a cozy spot in the repertoire, showing solid success rates north of 55%. Other openings like the Philidor Defense and Petrov's Defense add diversity and keep opponents guessing.
Playing Style & Grit
Known for resilience, Alousi shines brightest when the game gets tough—boasting an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece and an incredible 60% comeback rate. Although early resignation sneaks in about 6.5% of games (because sometimes you have to save face), the average moves per game hover around 52, indicating a love for long, strategic battles. Black seems to suit Alousi slightly better, with a 47.11% win rate compared to 45% as White.
Battle Scars and Triumphs
Not every day is checkmate and celebration. Tilt factor at 20 means Alousi occasionally feels the sting of defeat but quickly bounces back. Highlights include thrilling victories by resignation and a longest winning streak of 8 games—proof that when Alousi is on, the board trembles! Recent wins often occur against opponents like farmba and rajendrakshatriya, against whom Alousi holds a perfect win record.
Peak Performance Time
Forget morning coffee—Alousi performs best around 12 PM, 2 AM, and 3 AM, scoring an astonishing 100% win rate! Early afternoons (2 PM) are also golden hours with over 70% wins. Weekdays tend to be kinder than Sundays, where winning dips to around 27% - perhaps the weekend distractions are real.
Fun Fact: The Last Game Highlight
In a recent blitz skirmish following the Scandinavian Defense, Alousi flawlessly forced a resignation by their opponent after a tactical infiltration on move 26, proving once again that patience and precision win the day.
All in all, Alousi is a player who embraces the ups and downs of chess with humor, grit, and a love for strategic complexity. Whether puzzling out openings or fighting tooth and nail in the endgame, this player’s journey is a testament to loving the game beyond rankings and trophies.
