Amir Mohammad Hamidi, aka Blackmind96

Title: FIDE Master

Amir Mohammad Hamidi is a chess tactician of impressive caliber, boasting a FIDE Master title—a badge worn by those who have proven their mettle on the international stage. Known in the online chess world as Blackmind96, Amir blends deep strategic understanding with lightning-fast bullet and blitz play that keeps opponents on their toes.

Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style

Starting from humble beginnings with a bullet rating of 1584 back in 2017, Amir quickly rocketed to a breathtaking peak of 3273 in bullet chess by 2025. This is no mere fluke; with an astonishing average rating above 3000 in recent years, Amir has clearly mastered the art of speed chess where precision meets adrenaline.

Blitz and rapid formats suit Amir just as well, with blitz ratings nudging close to 2950 and a sturdy rapid rating over 2100. Don't let the "rapid" label fool you—Amir’s games often stretch beyond the expected, averaging over 90 moves per win, proving that patience is still a virtue even in fast-paced battles.

Record and Rivalries

With over 30,000 bullet games in the bag, Amir’s win count is nearly 15,000 with a win rate hovering just under 50%. His tenacity is legendary, demonstrated by a comeback rate surpassing 90% and a near-perfect 99.91% win rate after losing a piece. This player doesn’t panic—they strike back with precision.

Amir has tangled most often with shadowking71 (1396 games) and 0gzpanda (878 games), among others, developing fierce but often friendly rivalries. Notorious for a tilt factor of 30, Amir’s mental resilience is tested but never broken, making every comeback story possible.

Openings and Psychological Prowess

Amir’s "Top Secret" opening strategy has secured nearly 50% wins in bullet and over 70% in daily games. Whether it's bullet or daily, Amir's opening play surprises opponents and leaves chess detectives puzzled.

Besides chess, Amir’s psychological game is as sharp as his moves: while occasionally prone to early resignation (1.22% of the time), the mastery in endgames shines through nearly 83% of the time, where most matches are decided.

The Human Side

Despite the grandmaster-level ratings, Amir is not immune to the quirks of online chess life. At times frustrated, at others focused and relentless, Amir’s chess journey is a tale of perseverance, adaptability, and a mind wired for chess chaos and brilliance.

In sum, Amir Mohammad Hamidi or Blackmind96 is not just a FIDE Master — they’re a bullet chess superhero whose keyboard clicks echo through the realms of blitz, rapid, and daily chess alike. Opponents beware: when Amir’s on the board, every move could be your last!

Hi Amir Mohammad Hamidi!

You are an energetic, initiative-driven player whose games are full of dynamic pawn breaks, active piece play and tactical ideas. Below is a quick health-check of your chess along with a practical improvement plan.

What you are doing well

  • Opening feel for “Indian–type” structures. Your wins as Black in the Old-Indian, King’s Indian and Benoni show good familiarity with typical plans such as …c6/a5/Na6-c5 or kingside pawn storms.
  • Calculated aggression. You’re not afraid to sacrifice pawns (e.g. 6…g5!? in a QGD and 10…g4!? vs Anthony Atanasov) to grab the initiative.
  • Tactical alertness. The conversion 29.Qh6+! in the Benoni win and 45…Qd1# in the Old-Indian highlight sharp finishing skills.
  • Consistency across the week.

    suggests your performance is stable no matter the day—great for tournament play.

Biggest improvement levers

  1. Time management. In 6 of your last 10 losses you were winning or equal but flagged. Try the “10-20-70” rule:
    • 10 % of your total time for the first 10 moves (automatic theory).
    • 20 % for the next 10 (transition/plan choice).
    • 70 % saved for the middlegame complications & endgame.
  2. End-game technique. Several time losses (e.g. KID vs aa175) arose in won rook or queen endings where you drifted. Adopt a weekly “End-game Friday”:
    • Solve 3 practical rook-endgame studies.
    • Play one 15 | 10 training game starting from a technical position.
  3. Prophylaxis & king safety. Games lost to sudden counter-attacks (e.g. Four Knights Scotch: 51…Qe5#) usually started with an over-extended pawn (h-pawn pushes) and an exposed king. Add the habit “What does my opponent want?” before committing to pawn moves.

90-day action plan

WeekMain focusConcrete task
1-4Clock disciplinePlay 20 blitz games with a visible count-down annotation “Time check after every 5 moves”.
5-8Technical endingsFinish Silman’s end-game “rook vs pawn” chapter & summarise 5 rules in your notebook.
9-12Defensive skillsFor each loss, annotate one critical moment where a quiet move could have neutralised the attack; store in a “prophylaxis file”.

Key moment from your latest win

Notice how the final back-rank motif was prepared many moves earlier by doubling rooks and fixing the light-squares:
