Basit Dahri - The Chess Virtuoso

Meet Basit Dahri, also known by the username Basit-Al, a resilient and somewhat cheeky chess enthusiast blazing a trail through bullet, blitz, rapid, and daily chess games with more enthusiasm than a caffeine-fueled grandmaster!

Rating & Progression

From 2024 to 2025, Basit's ratings skyrocketed like a well-executed queen's gambit: starting 2024 at respectable scores across formats (Bullet: 795, Blitz: 1002, Rapid: 1144, Daily: 669), and by 2025 hitting impressive peaks (Bullet: 1138, Blitz: 1348, Rapid: 1415, Daily: 849). The upward trajectory isn't just a coincidence; it's hard work, countless pawns sacrificed, and a stubborn refusal to settle for less.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for an early resignation rate of about 55%—apparently he doesn’t like to drag out losing battles (who does?)—but when he fights, he fights like a lion. Basit's endgame frequency is a solid 67.66%, showing a preference for finishing strong rather than making last-minute blunders.

Average moves per win hover around 62, but losses tend to linger a bit longer with 70 moves on average—guess Basit enjoys the suspense. His win rates favor the white pieces slightly at 56.05%, but even with black, he holds his own with a near 48.12% success rate.

Tactical Brilliance

Basit's tactical awareness is worthy of admiration: a staggering 77% comeback rate suggests he never throws in the towel early, and his 100% win rate after losing a piece is downright scary for opponents—basically, losing material just lights a fire under him. Plus, his one-sided loss rate is just 2.67%, proving he's rarely crushed without a fight.

Openings Arsenal

With a solid fanbase of openings, Basit loves to keep things fresh and sometimes spicy:

• Bullet chess: Old Benoni Defense reigns supreme with a splendid 66.67% win rate, and the friendly Reti Opening loves him back with 73.33% wins.
• Blitz battles: The Kings Indian Attack is Basit’s trusted steed, bagging a cool 60% win rate over 155 games. The Sicilian Defense? Also a favorite, wielded with 54.8% success.
• Rapid duels: He mixes tradition with flair, favoring the Kings Indian Attack and the trusty Italians, showing he appreciates both aggressive and classical playstyles.
• Daily games: The Kings Pawn Opening shines brightest with an 85.7% win rate, reminding us that sometimes, keeping it simple is the best strategy.

Psychology & Timing

Basit battles the infamous chess tilt like a seasoned warrior, maintaining a low tilt factor of 8. Also, he's a creature of habit and seemingly thrives when most of us are winding down—his best win rates happen between 11 PM and 3 AM. Night owl or chess ninja? You decide!

His highest winning probabilities appear on Fridays and Wednesdays, because what better way to welcome the weekend than with checkmates?

Records & Rivalries

With 2,300+ wins across all formats combined (we tried counting, it’s a lot), Basit has an impressive catalogue of triumphs. Fun fact: he’s undefeated against some opponents (looking at you, ohnomyhard and infernist96) and hasn’t backed down even when facing tough cookies who’ve handed him losses.

In a Nutshell

Basit Dahri is the kind of player who turns the chessboard into a thrilling rollercoaster—full of daring moves, dramatic comebacks, and tactical fireworks. Whether it’s bullet speed or slow, thoughtful daily games, he’s always up for a challenge, armed with a stash of elegant openings and a fighting spirit that refuses to quit.
