Meet Ali Bitalzadeh – The International Master with a Bullet Blitz!

Also known in the chess realm as Arashy_CC, Ali Bitalzadeh is not your everyday chess player. Officially titled as an International Master by FIDE, Ali’s journey through the 64 squares is a mix of fierce battles, cunning tactics, and occasionally throwing in a cheeky move just to keep the opponent guessing.

A Rating Rollercoaster with a Bullet Engine

Ali’s rating history reads like a thriller novel: starting from humble beginnings in 2012 at around 1343 bullet rating, sprinting upwards with a max bullet rating surpassing 2600 in 2025. That’s some serious speed chess mastery! Blitz ratings are nothing to scoff at either, peaking close to 2640. And if you thought Ali only played fast, think again. Though daily ratings are a modest 773 (perhaps favoring quick games over coffee breaks), Ali’s blitz and bullet records showcase a relentless warrior ready to outblast the clock.

Playing Style: The Comeback Kid

Ali has an impressive 81.5% comeback rate, proving that giving up is never on the menu. Losing a piece? No worries! Ali holds a nearly 46% win rate after losing material — a testament to resilience and resourcefulness. The average bullet game win clocks at about 75 moves, which might seem long for bullet enthusiasts, but that's because Ali savors the fight until the very last second.

Psychological Trends & Quirks

With a low early resignation rate of just 0.34%, Ali prefers to wrestle with fate rather than quit early. The best time to challenge this master appears to be around 11 PM, when Ali’s win rate peaks — maybe fueled by midnight snacks and caffeine! Mood swings? A tilt factor of 16 keeps things interesting, but the games always stay captivating.

Match Record Highlights

  • Bullet: Approximately 8,695 wins out of 17,735 games (nearly 49% win rate).
  • Blitz: Holds a respectable 51.7% win rate with over 2,500 games played.
  • Daily: Perfect record so far: 2 wins in 2 games. Slow and steady… or just slow?
  • Rapid: Has dipped toes with good results around 44% win rate.

Notable Opponents & Rivalries

Ali's favorite sparring partners include users like mw86 and grandemas, having clashed in hundreds of games. And if you ever fancy a match, beware the ghost of titanic streaks: Ali boasts a longest winning streak of 17 games and has bravely survived a 16-game losing streak — because hey, everyone has “that” time!

Recent Triumphs & Agonies

Ali’s latest victories have been a spectacle of strategic depth and tactical prowess — from slick checkmates delivered with style to battles won by resignation from weary opponents. Of course, even the best sometimes face defeat — but true to form, Ali bounces back ready for the next dance.

Fun Fact

If chess had a "marathon bullet" category, Ali would be a gold medalist. Combining lightning speed with remarkably long average moves per win, Ali doesn’t just blitz through games; Ali enjoys a dramatic, high-octane saga on every board.

In summary, Ali Bitalzadeh is a formidable International Master whose name commands respect in the bullet and blitz arenas. Whether conquering the clock or weaving intricate tactical webs, Ali’s chess story continues to unfold – one move at a time.

Recent Game Analysis

Ali, your recent games show a solid understanding of the middlegame and endgame strategies. In your recent win you demonstrated strong control in a complex position, successfully executing a tactical sequence that led to checkmate. Your handling of piece coordination and king safety was commendable.

However, the recent losses highlight some areas that could be improved:

  • Time management: Losing on time suggests the need to manage your clock better in bullet games. Try to allocate a consistent amount of time per move even when under pressure.
  • Opening familiarity: Some opponents capitalized on your opening choices. Deepening your preparation in openings you frequently encounter, such as the Sicilian Defense and Modern Defense, can give you an edge.
  • Defensive accuracy: A couple of games ended with your position deteriorating due to tactical oversights. Sharpening defensive tactics will help reduce such losses.

Strengths

  • You have a strong overall win rate around 50%, adjusted for opponent strength, which is excellent in bullet pace.
  • Good grasp of tactical motifs and attacking opportunities.
  • Ability to convert complex positions into winning endgames, as seen in your recent victories.
  • Solid performances with openings such as the Modern and Amar Gambit, both showing win rates above 50%.

Areas for Improvement

  • Opening Repertoire: Your results indicate uneven success across openings. Investing study into openings with lower win rates like the Alekhine Defense and East Indian Defense could boost your confidence and results.
  • Time Management: In bullet games, quick decision-making is critical. Try to avoid time trouble by practicing speed drills and pre-moving where safe.
  • Consistency Over Time: The recent downward rating trend (-113 over 6 months) suggests there may be fluctuations in performance. Regular review of your games to identify recurring mistakes and working with thematic exercises could help stabilize and improve your level.
  • Endgame Precision: Continue to strengthen endgame skills, which will help you convert advantages without errors under time pressure.
  • Tactical Awareness: Focus on tactics training tailored to rapid and bullet play to reduce oversights during critical moments.

Tips for Training

  • Use short timed puzzles and drills to simulate bullet conditions and improve your intuition.
  • Analyze key losses to understand tactical blunders and time management fails.
  • Refresh your knowledge of key opening lines you play frequently to save time on the clock.
  • Practice endgame scenarios focusing on king activity and piece coordination.
  • Incorporate regular physical breaks to maintain focus and prevent fatigue.

Summary

Your bullet performance is impressive, especially with a solid win rate against tough opposition. To further raise your game, concentrate on sharper time control management, enhancing opening preparation, and improving tactical defense. Consistent review and practice will help reverse the recent rating dip and continue your strong chess growth.
