Sajjad Zabihi - Master of the Biological Chessboard

Meet Sajjad Zabihi, the chess player whose brain cells are always in check and balance! Known in the chess ecosystem as brbz, Sajjad has navigated the rapid, blitz, and bullet time controls with the finesse of a cell dividing at just the right moment.

Evolution of a Player

Sajjad’s rapid rating has blossomed from a modest 925 in 2020 to over 1300 at his peak, proving that his chess skills undergo a constant mitosis of improvement. Though his rating has fluctuated, his average rapid rating hovers comfortably around 1100-1200, showing strong adaptability and resilience despite occasional losses (like a cell repairing DNA!).

Playing Style - The DNA of His Game

With an early resignation rate of just over 2%, Sajjad prefers to fight battles akin to a microorganism clinging to survival—endgame heavy and averaging over 62 moves per win. White pieces enjoy a 51.37% win rate under his command, demonstrating a slightly more dominant phenotype compared to his Black's 46.07%. His comebacks are legendary, boasting a 77% comeback rate as if powered by a mutation that revives lost ground. After sacrificing a piece, his win rate is a perfect 100%, a true testament to his cellular repair mechanisms.

Opening Repertoire - Cellular Responses to Opponent Stimuli

Sajjad’s favorite openings are the King's Pawn Opening and its derivative variations, with a solid win rate near 55% in rapid games. In blitz, the Scandinavian Defense acts like a strong enzyme boost with a win rate surpassing 70%. He’s not afraid to experiment with biological diversity in response to different opponents, showing tactical versatility between the Sicilian Defense, Philidor Defense, and even the Bishops Opening.

Opponent Interaction - The Ecosystem of Competition

Sajjad’s relationships with opponents are just as dynamic as his chess cells. While some foes like kisjooooooo and faxz713 have been decisively outplayed (100% win rate!), others like artyfitz and radicalsssss provide tougher challenges, showing a 0% win rate — the evolutionary arms race at its finest.

Chess Bio-Rhythms

Fascinatingly, Sajjad performs best during the wee hours (2 AM to 4 AM) with win rates soaring over 55%, possibly syncing his cognitive mitochondria for peak performance. Conversely, slightly lower efficiency during afternoon hours suggests his neurons may prefer nocturnal activity—nature’s way of dodging the midday metabolic slump!

Fun Fact

With an average of over 60 moves per win, Sajjad’s games are biological marathons, not sprints. He’s the player who lets ideas ferment and defenses evolve — truly a master of chess natural selection.

Whether he’s deploying a French Defense like a selective gene or unleashing a King's Pawn Opening with cell-like precision, Sajjad Zabihi’s journey through the cellular world of chess continues to thrive, mutate, and challenge.
