Amanmuhammet Hommadov — National Master and chess raconteur
Amanmuhammet Hommadov (username: amanmuhammethommadov) is a National Master known for grinding long, technical battles and an almost comical appetite for late‑night blitz marathons. Though officially titled "National Master" by National, Amanmuhammet treats each game — from a sleepy Daily to a breathless blitz bullet — like a short story with a beginning, a dramatic middle and a satisfying endgame chapter.
Preferred time control: Daily — yes, really. Off the clock he trains in blitz, but he says he likes the idea of chess delivered by carrier pigeon (or at least via Daily moves that let him think and sip coffee).
Career snapshot
- Title: National Master (National)
- Prolific online presence — thousands of blitz games played, often in long decisive battles that run 70–90 moves on average.
- Peak blitz rating: 3062 (2025-11-23) — a milestone that underlines Amanmuhammet’s ferocity in short time controls.
- PreferredTimeControl (profile): Daily — patient, deliberate, and a little theatrical.
Playing style & strengths
Amanmuhammet is an endgame‑loving grinder. Expect long games, careful piece play and a knack for turning tiny advantages into full points.
- Endgame specialist: a high endgame frequency and long average game lengths (around 80 moves) mean he’s comfortable in technical finales.
- Resilience: an impressive comeback rate — he thrives after setbacks and often reverses unfavorable positions.
- Psychology: strongest around 23:00 according to his own data — prime time for heroic saves and last‑minute brilliancies.
- Not afraid of complications — tactical alertness is proven by a solid win rate after losing material.
Openings & repertoire
Amanmuhammet favors classical and flexible systems, but with a few spicy choices to keep opponents honest.
- Most-played in blitz: French Defense: Advance Variation — a reliable battleground where he converts many middlegame edges.
- Other favorites: Sicilian (including Alapin and Najdorf lines), Petrov’s Defense, Caro‑Kann (Exchange), and the occasional Bishop’s Opening: Urusov Gambit when he wants to surprise.
- In Daily and slower games he experiments more — expect unusual sideline tests and deep preparation.
Rivalries & memorable opponents
Amanmuhammet has a few recurring opponents who have become part of his online folklore.
- Most-played rival: Azat Nurmammedov — more than 200 games and a razor-close head‑to‑head that reads like a long chess soap opera (two sides, many twists).
- Other frequent names: practicemakesok, seochesspie, mergenkakabaev — solid competition that keeps Amanmuhammet sharp.
- He treats frequent repeats as tiny tournaments — each match is another chance to try a new idea and refine the repertoire.
Quirks, streaks & quick facts
- Streaks: has enjoyed long winning streaks and lived through brutal slumps too — chess life in microcosm.
- Average first capture occurs around move 7 — patient opening play that often leads to rich middlegames.
- Favored hour to strike: late night. If you play him at 23:00, bring your A‑game (and coffee).
- SEO nod: Amanmuhammet Hommadov — National Master, blitz specialist, endgame technician, and Daily chess enthusiast.

.Final note
Amanmuhammet Hommadov is the sort of player who will outlast you in a technical endgame, out‑prepare you in a Daily duel, and still crack a joke in the chat after a nerve‑wracking blitz finish. National Master, endurance specialist, and uncompromising competitor — keep an eye on him at the board (especially after 11pm).
Quick overview
Nice momentum — two clean daily wins and clear, active play in both the French Advance and the Benoni. You create pressure, play for space, and you're comfortable in sharp pawn-structure fights. Below are focused, practical suggestions to help you convert more positions reliably (and to avoid depending on the opponent flagging).
Replay the games
First game (you as White vs Mergen Kakabayev):
Second game (you as Black vs Shahruh Turayev):
What you’re doing well
- Active opening choices — you’re picking fighting systems (French Defense: Advance Variation and Benoni Defense: Four Pawns Attack) that lead to imbalanced games where you can create chances.
- Space and pawn advances — you push pawns to grab space and open lines for your pieces, which produced concrete opportunities in both games.
- Practical pressure on the clock — you convert psychological and time pressure into wins; that’s a useful skill in daily chess.
- Willingness to simplify into favorable lines — when opportunities appeared you were ready to trade and keep the initiative.
Where to improve (short and actionable)
- Don’t rely on flags as the primary conversion tool. Practice converting small advantages so you win on the board even if both players have plenty of time.
- Watch for premature queen moves and target squares that expose queens to tactics (Qb6-style play can be double-edged). Before a queen sortie, ask: does this help development or create targets?
- Increase calculation depth in sharp pawn-structure fights — count candidate captures and checks before committing a pawn push that opens the center or a wing.
- Endgames and simple technical conversions: if you win material or get a passed pawn, practice the clean method to convert (king activity, restrict opponent king, eliminate counterplay).
Concrete drills and a 4‑week plan
- Daily (10–20 minutes): tactics puzzles focused on forks, pins, discovered attacks. Aim for 8–12 solved puzzles/day. These patterns appear often in the pawn-structure fights you like.
- Twice a week (30–40 minutes): analyze one of your wins with an engine and by hand. Find at least 3 moments where you could improve a move or a plan and note the alternatives.
- Weekly (one session): 1 endgame exercise — king + pawn, rook endgame basics, and converting a single passed pawn. Repeat until conversion feels routine.
- Opening work (2 short sessions/week): for the French Advance and the Four Pawns Benoni, learn 3 typical pawn breaks and 3 typical plans for each side. Use the French Defense: Advance Variation and Benoni Defense: Four Pawns Attack placeholders as study targets.
- Play & reflect: after each daily game, write 3 bullet points: one good decision, one mistake, one concrete improvement to try next game.
Quick pre-game checklist (use before each move in daily games)
- Are my pieces developed? If not, can I finish development before starting an attack?
- What are my opponent’s immediate threats? (checks, captures, advanced pawns)
- If I make this pawn push or capture, what tactical shots does it open for both sides?
- Do I have a simple plan for the next 3 moves? If not, pick a safe improving move.
- If I’m ahead in material/position, can I simplify safely and exchange pieces to make the win easier?
Next steps & encouragement
You’re on a positive streak. Keep the focus on converting advantages cleanly and building a few repeatable routines (tactics, a short endgame checklist, and targeted opening plans). Small, consistent practice will turn these wins into a reliable skillset.
