Her tactical prowess shines through an impressive 85.4% comeback rate after facing a setback, demonstrating resilience that would make even the most stubborn chess pieces reconsider their fate.
Favorite Openings - and Why They Work
- Sicilian Defense (Bullet): Perfect for the player who likes a sharp, double-edged knife in their arsenal. Mobina has a flawless 100% win record in four bullet games using this opening. Clearly, not even the Sicilian can resist her charm.
- Reti Opening - Kings Indian Attack: Scoring 75% in bullet games, this reflects Mobina’s preference for flexible, strategic setups that let her outmaneuver opponents in the opening dance.
- Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation and Black Mustang Defense: Both with an 80% win rate in bullet, proving Mobina likes to mix elegance with a dash of surprise.

Mobina thrives in the pressure cooker. Her best time of day to shock opponents? 4:00 AM, no less — while many are reaching for another snooze, Mobina is meticulously threading tactics through the night.
Despite a modest tilt factor of 14 (chess players can be "passionate"), she keeps her composure perfectly. And the average game lengths? About 84 moves for wins and 90 for losses, which means if you get Mobina in a long fight, expect a battle royale that sift through all corners of the chessboard.

Feedback for Mobina Alinasab
Mobina, your recent games show strong fundamentals and good positional understanding, especially in complex middlegame positions. You consistently play solid openings, such as the Nimzo-Indian, English Opening, and Closed Sicilian, which gives you a reliable foundation to build on.
Strengths
- Opening knowledge: You handle a variety of openings confidently, often achieving equal or better positions early on.
- Endgame technique: You demonstrate good technique converting advantages, especially in rook and pawn endgames.
- Positional awareness: Moves like Rd1, Be3, and timely exchanges show good strategic planning.
- Time management: You manage your clock well in longer games, taking advantage of your opponent’s time pressure.
Areas to Improve
- Tactical alertness in critical moments: Some losses happen in positions where more precise calculation and tactical awareness could save or improve your position. Consider doing daily tactical puzzles to sharpen this skill.
- Handling pressure from active opponent play: When faced with aggressive plans by your opponents (e.g., pawn storms or piece activity on the kingside), sometimes your response can be passive. Work on active counterplay and prophylactic moves to restrain their initiative.
- Exploiting small advantages: While you reach playable endgames, look for opportunities to increase pressure earlier. Improving your ability to convert minor spatial or structural advantages will help increase your win rate.
Suggestions for Training
- Tactical exercises: Focus on motifs such as pins, forks, discovered attacks, and traps in your opening repertoire.
- Analyze your losses: Spend time reviewing the critical turning points of your lost games to understand the root causes.
- Endgame practice: Continue practicing basic rook and pawn endgames; mastering these can turn many drawn positions into wins.
- Study classical games: Review master games in your preferred openings to see how grandmasters handle typical middlegame plans and transitions.
Keep up the great work, and continue building on your strengths! You have a solid foundation, and with focused practice on tactics and active defense, your game will improve significantly.
