Basheer Alqudaimi: The International Master with a Bullet Flair
Meet Basheer Alqudaimi, a chess virtuoso who earned the esteemed title of International Master from FIDE. Not just your ordinary strategist, Basheer has a penchant for playing at the speed of light – his bullet rating peaks ominously close to 2800, proving that when it comes to blitz and bullet chess, he’s less human and more chess machine.
Since making waves around 2016, Basheer's daily rating skyrocketed from humble beginnings at just over 1400 to a peak of 2386 by 2019. But don't let the "daily" doldrums fool you – his rapid and blitz performances often edge dangerously near grandmaster territory, with rapid peaking above 2500 and blitz inching to a snarling 2607.
His playing style is a cocktail of patience and dynamism: averaging nearly 82 moves per win, he loves lengthy battles, squeezing out every advantage. And if you think he folds under pressure, think again – with a staggering 87.1% comeback rate, Basheer could lose a piece, lose the plot, then snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Talk about resilience!
