Jad Nasir — The Chess Enigma aka best58
Meet Jad Nasir, a battle-hardened warrior on the 64-square battlefield who has experienced the full spectrum of chess emotions—from exhilarating wins to humbling defeats. Known online as best58, Jad’s journey is less about flawless victories and more about tenacity and flair.
Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style
Jad’s chess rating has been nothing short of a wild rollercoaster ride. From a rapid rating high of 1418 in 2023 to a modest 415 in 2025, Jad shows the resilience of a true fighter—who probably cheats at Tic Tac Toe for a confidence boost. His blitz and bullet ratings might raise eyebrows (or chuckles), with bullet being his distinct Achilles’ heel at a mere 100 rating. But hey, nobody’s perfect.
Despite that, Jad loves to dive deep, averaging over 50 moves to secure a win, proving patience and strategic complexity are his middle names. Although persistent, he has a 15% early resignation rate—perhaps because sometimes, even Jad knows when to save his energy for the next thrilling game.
The Comeback Kid
Jad’s tactical awareness is impressive—showcasing a hefty 61% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. Losing a piece? No problem, Jad turns adversity into opportunity, proving that even on shaky terrain, he’s the guy you want on your side.
Frenemies & Foils
Opponents beware: Jad has a love-hate relationship with some. While he boasts perfect records against players like rymwid, ahmedrezqallah, and grennielss, he’s still trying to crack the code against others like izakka87 and thesheepsleeps, who have caught him napping a few times.
When & How to Challenge Jad
Timing is everything. Jad's prime hours for victory seem to be early morning (1 AM with a whopping 77% win rate!) and afternoon (2 PM and 5 PM also shine bright). Meanwhile, Saturdays might be best to avoid—only an 18% win rate there, maybe because who wants to play chess when there's a weekend beckoning?
Psychology & Quirks
With a tilt factor of just 6, Jad keeps his cool better than most after brutal losses (and probably drinks less coffee). His rated versus casual win difference of nearly 31% suggests when stakes are high, so is his game—though the losses do seem to keep him humble.
In the end, Jad Nasir is not just a chess player; he's a delightful paradox—a strategic gladiator whose battles are as entertaining as they are instructive, reminding us all that resilience, humor, and heart make the perfect chess companion.
