Ataa Imam aka "cool_booy"
Meet Ataa Imam, a chess adventurer whose rating journey looks a bit like a rollercoaster designed by a mischievous grandmaster. With a peak rapid rating of 1035 in March 2025, Ataa's games combine moments of brilliance with the kind of unpredictable flair only true enthusiasts can appreciate.
Specializing mostly in Rapid chess, Ataa has braved 184 rapid games, gathering 72 wins, 91 losses, and 21 draws. Not afraid to experiment, this player dabbles with a variety of openings — from the classic Scandinavian Defense (a personal nemesis with a 27.78% win rate) to the rather elegant Slav Defense, where results get a bit sunnier with a 50% win success.
When in bullet mode, Ataa demonstrates lightning reflexes, hitting a top rating of 199. Blitz and daily games tell a similar story of a player who embraces challenges with gusto, even if the scoreboard doesn't always smile back. Ataa’s games tend to last around 40 moves on wins, but drag out to almost 54 moves when the tides turn.
Despite a modest rating, this player masters the art of comebacks: a whopping 70.27% comeback rate means Ataa rarely gives up without a fight. On the downside, the tilt factor stands at 8, so some days the chessboard feels more like a battlefield than a playground.
Ataa’s best times to play? The early morning hours around 5 AM seem to inspire sharp strategy and focus, which may explain why the defeats at 1 AM are comparatively few. Sundays and Fridays offer the most favorable win percentages – perfect days for grinding out victories or just having fun.
Opponents beware: Ataa's record shows a mixed bag, but with a perfect 100% win rate against a number of players like alikamasika and ramz_sama5, this is no pushover. Though rivals like basheer_363 have had the upper hand, “cool_booy” shrugs it off to prepare for the next match.
Memorable Moments
Ataa’s recent victories include a gritty triumph over alikamasika in a Van Geet Opening battle where tactical ferocity ruled, and a strategic resignation victory against ramz_sama5 in the Queen’s Pawn Opening. Of course, every hero has their defeats, such as a tough checkmate loss to Basheer_363, but it only adds fuel to the fiery spirit.
In sum, Ataa Imam is the quintessential passionate chess player: embracing ups and downs, always eager to improve, and forever ready to challenge the board — with a username that carries just enough swagger to keep opponents guessing.
