Starting his chess journey with a rapid rating of 825 in 2020, Ismail has shown steady progress over the years, peaking at 1326 in 2023, proving that perseverance beats raw talent every time.
With over 1,100 rapid games under his belt and an almost even win-loss record (538 wins vs. 532 losses), Ismail embodies the spirit of a true warrior on the 64 squares.

Playing Style and Personality
- Known for early resignations at a modest 3.38%, he gives hope that every game is worth fighting for.
- Displays impressive tactical grit with a comeback rate near 74% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — clearly, never count Ismail out!
- Endgame lover with a knack for long battles, averaging over 58 moves per win and battling well past 69 moves even when losing.
- White pieces bring out his slightly better results with a win rate of 51%, while Black requires a bit more elbow grease at 46%.

Fun Facts & Quirks
- His Saturday win rate (56.91%) might make you think he’s secretly a weekend warrior.
- Oddly enough, his worst performing hour is around 10 AM (35.29%) — anyone told him chess doesn’t like mornings?
