Ahmad Hilmi, more cunningly known online as amad-aisyah, is a rapid chess aficionado whose journey in the chess world feels a lot like a dramatic thriller—with a sprinkle of comedy. Playing predominantly rapid games, Ahmad has battled through over 580 matches in 2025 alone, demonstrating resilience, creativity, and the occasional daring gambit that leaves opponents questioning their life choices.

Chess Odyssey

With a peak rapid rating reaching 729 in April 2025, Ahmad is no stranger to ups and downs. A longest winning streak of 8 games and a bittersweet longest losing streak of 12 reflect an intense rollercoaster ride typical of a keen competitor who never gives up (even when the coffee runs out). Ahmad’s rapid win-loss-draw record stands impressively close to even keel: 286 wins, 272 losses, and 30 draws.

Opening Repertoire

Ahmad's moves are as unique as their username. Notoriously secretive about their top opening, listed as "Top Secret," they've played it 409 times with about a 48.7% win rate—clearly, a carefully guarded mystery weapon. Other favorites include the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation boasting a 75% win rate and a penchant for sneaky maneuvering, and the classic Philidor Defense, albeit with mixed results (33% win rate, but hey, every hero has their weaknesses!).

Style and Psychology

Ahmad is no quitter, clearly indicated by a low early resignation rate (~3%) and a commendable comeback rate of nearly 77% when trailing behind. With a tilt factor of 12, Ahmad occasionally lets emotions sneak in, but like a seasoned gladiator, recovers swiftly. Their best hours? Around 10 PM gaming sessions where the win rate shoots up to a dazzling 100%, so maybe it’s the late-night snacks or mysterious chess muses in the moonlight.

Notable Games

Their most recent victory was a strategic masterpiece against nicociro25, finishing fast with a decisive move 25.Nd6+. It ended in a rather unusual "game abandoned" termination—but hey, a win’s a win! On the flip side, the toughest recent challenger was jeal212, handing Ahmad a resignation loss in a tense, closely fought battle filled with twists and tactical strikes, proving that even the best have off days.
