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.

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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
| Week | Main focus | Concrete task |
|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | Clock discipline | Play 20 blitz games with a visible count-down annotation “Time check after every 5 moves”. |
| 5-8 | Technical endings | Finish Silman’s end-game “rook vs pawn” chapter & summarise 5 rules in your notebook. |
| 9-12 | Defensive skills | For 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:
Your quick stats
- Peak Blitz rating: 2951 (2025-06-12)
- Hourly performance:
- Most common opponent: Anthony Atanasov – you score 45 %
Next step: Pick the end-game routine above and start today. Small, regular habits will convert your dynamic style into even more wins on the scoreboard.
Good luck, and happy hunting on the 64 squares!
