Zineb Dina Abdi

Woman International Master (WIM)

Meet Zineb Dina Abdi, known in the chess circles and online domains as chourahbil, a chess virtuoso who has earned the prestigious title of Woman International Master from FIDE. A player with a strategic mind and a killer instinct, Zineb dances through the board like a cunning maestro conducting a symphony of knights, pawns, and queens.

With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2320 and a rapid rating cresting at 2163, Zineb has clocked thousands of games, demonstrating persistence, resilience, and a touch of blitz magic. Their bullet skills peak valiantly around 2211, proving speed and precision are part of the arsenal! Daily chess? Also no stranger — hitting a solid 2082.

Known for embracing the French Defense with a flair, it seems Zineb has a penchant for turning the tide in the most classical of battles, often finishing games by resignation or the elegant checkmate swoop. Fun fact: their longest winning streak is a hefty 27 games — basically a grandmaster streak disguised with a casual username!

Statistically speaking, Zineb’s win rate spikes in the afternoon and early evening with a cheeky 54.97% success around 16:00 hours — perfect timing for a quick game before dinner or some deep thinking on the next move. Their battleground is often blitz, where over 35,000 games paint a picture of love, sweat, and sacrifice on the 64 squares.

Despite an early resignation rate of nearly 74%, don’t be fooled — that’s just the sign of a player who knows when to pivot and conserve their mental energy for the real war to come. And a tilt factor of 21? Sounds like a calculated dose of drama to spice up the game!

  • Average moves per win: ~17, proving decisive and swift
  • Known to capitalize on comebacks, bouncing back almost 20% of the time after losing a piece

Recent Form

Zineb’s latest victories include brilliant strategic wins by resignation and checkmate, often featuring exacting precision against strong opponents. Just check their recent game where an elegant maneuver with 20.Nd6+ secured a winning blow in a French Defense battle — a masterstroke demonstrating nerves of steel and chess sharpness.

Humble in defeat and fierce in victory, Zineb continues to challenge the best and push the boundaries of online chess. Whether it's a bullet rush or a rapid hunt, chourahbil remains a formidable contender.

In the battlefield of chess, Zineb Dina Abdi commands their pieces with both the grace of a ballet dancer and the cunning of a fox. Watch the board, or you might just get checkmated before you blink!

Coach’s Review for Zineb Dina Abdi

Hi Zineb! I went through your latest rapid games. Your chess is energetic and creative, but a few recurring patterns are holding back your rating climb. Below is a focused action plan.

1. What you already do well

  • Active openings. You steer for dynamic positions instead of passively copying theory. In your win against teddyonslow2004 you punished an over-extended French set-up with 15 Nxf5!—a textbook clearance tactic. (

    )
  • Tactical alertness. Forks and pins rarely escape you; several victories started with a sharp combination or sacrifice.
  • Piece activity. You value open lines and aren’t afraid to trade a pawn for the initiative—an excellent habit at your level.

2. Repeating difficulties

  1. Early tactical accidents in the Ruy López (Black). In the loss to oldchess69 7…Bg4? walked into 8.Qxg7! and the game ended immediately. Memorise the Exchange-Ruy traps: delay …Bg4 until the king is tucked away and your queen guards g7.
  2. Clock management. Two recent defeats (vs. ImPieman and vitopop2005) were on time despite holdable endings. Try the “30-20-10” routine: 30 s for the first deep think, 20 s to calculate, 10 s to blunder-check. In quiet positions make a habit of moving within 10 s.
  3. End-game technique. With material advantages you often push flank pawns before centralising the king, allowing counter-play (games vs. S4hv & WastedTalentFG). Review rook endings—Lucena, Philidor, the “cut-off king”—until you can convert them in your sleep.

3. Opening tune-up (next 14 days)

Your sideCurrent weaponHomework
White vs. Pirc/Modern4.Be3 lineMemorise the critical 9…Nd4 ideas and the c3-d4 space clamp.
Black vs. 1.e4Sicilian & Caro-KannPick one main line and learn ten moves deep so you save clock time.
Black vs. 1.d4QGD / Catalan structuresStudy the pawn-sac ideas that cost the vitopop2005 game.

4. Tactical & positional drill menu

  • 20 puzzles/day at 85 % accuracy. Theme mix: back-rank mates, zwischenzugs, minor-piece endgames.
  • Play King-and-pawn & rook-and-pawn table-base drills vs. engine until conversion feels automatic.
  • Analyse one classical game featuring the isolated d-pawn every evening.

5. Progress tracker

Your current 2163 (2021-09-03) is strong; aim for +50 elo in four weeks. Use these charts to spot good & bad days:

6. Next lesson preview

  1. Spotting critical moments—learning to ask “What has changed?” every move.
  2. Transforming an attack into a won ending without losing momentum.

Keep the energy, refine the discipline, and those narrow defeats will flip to confident wins. Looking forward to our next session!
