Sahebali Atanejhad - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Sahebali Atanejhad, known in chess circles simply as Atanejhad, a player who’s mastered the delicate art of making pawns dance and knights prance. Awarded the prestigious title of FIDE Master, Atanejhad’s style merges deep tactical awareness with an uncanny ability to stage comebacks when things look bleak—because who doesn’t love a good underdog story on the 64 squares?

Playing Style and Highlights

Atanejhad boasts an impressive early resignation rate of merely 2.8%, proving he’s not one to throw in the towel without a fight. With a penchant for long, calculated battles averaging around 79 moves per win, their games often resemble thrilling chess novels full of plot twists, sacrifices, and brilliant endgames.

The endgame, famously tricky to master, is Atanejhad’s playground, with an endgame frequency of over 85%. And those tricky situations where a piece is lost? No worries—their comeback rate skyrockets at nearly 87%, with a near 44% win rate after losing material. Clearly, giving up material is more like a halftime adjustment for this master!

Rating Rollercoaster and Statistics

From blitz battles to bullet blitzfires, Atanejhad navigates varied time controls with flair. Their peak blitz rating hit a jaw-dropping 2628 in early 2020, while bullet peaked at a respectable 2524. Don’t expect them to slow down anytime soon—they're still hovering strong above 2500 in blitz in 2024.

Win rates hover around the mid-40s percent on tough opponents, but watch out below their own rating—they dominate with a win rate surpassing 66%. Their longest winning streak was an epic 18 games, while the longest losing streak a cruel 16, reminding us that even FIDE Masters have their sad Mondays.

Fun Facts & Quirks

  • Favorite playing hour? The crack of dawn at 4:00 AM—because nothing says “chess genius” like a sleepy brain making brilliant moves.
  • Known for an enviable psychological resilience, their tilt factor is just 16, so they keep calm even when their rook unexpectedly vanishes.
  • Despite playing hundreds of games as “Top Secret” opening aficionado, the details are so secret that even the chess engines are scratching their heads.

Recent Battles

Just recently, Atanejhad scored a convincing win against SuperBlitz01 using the Slav Defense, proving their strategic mettle. Games typically end by resignation, not stalemate or timeout—because opponents prefer to concede rather than see their kings get cozy under Atanejhad’s pressure.

When losing happens, it’s often to fierce opponents or tricky time scrambles, reminders that even masters must keep an eye on the clock (and maybe their pawns).

Conclusion

In the world of chess, Sahebali Atanejhad is a warrior-poet of the board, blending tactical ferocity with strategic patience—and a sense of humor about the occasional blunder. Whether blitzing or bulleting, when Atanejhad plays, expect a rollercoaster of thrills, carefully engineered tactics, and a story worth telling.
