FIDE Master Maher Ayyad (aka CuteRook)

Meet Maher Ayyad, a chess virtuoso whose brain probably generates more moves per second than most of us can blink. Holding the prestigious title of FIDE Master, Maher thrives in Bullet and Blitz battles, where speed and precision are the name of the game.

Since storming into the competitive scene around 2017, Maher has demonstrated remarkable resilience and tenacity. With a peak Bullet rating soaring near 2475 and Blitz topping at an impressive 2579, this player’s lightning-fast tactics have left countless opponents scratching their heads.

Known for an extraordinary comeback rate of 75% and an almost superhuman 93% win rate after losing a piece, Maher doesn’t just play chess—he dances with it, making remarkable recoveries that might make even a scriptwriter blush.

With over 1,600 Bullet games played—winning close to half—Maher’s stamina is no joke. Their longest winning streak of 18 games shows a level of focus that would intimidate even the most stoic grandmasters. However, everyone needs a breather; currently, Maher’s in a 'thinking pause' with no ongoing winning streak. After all, even the best need to strategize their next masterpiece.

Maher’s style leans toward the endgame, spending an average of 64 moves before sealing victory—proof of thorough planning and patience. And speaking of psychology, Maher keeps a playable tilt factor of 12, which means they occasionally get annoyed but never enough to throw a rook off the board in frustration.

Fun fact: Maher’s peak winning hours are around noon and early afternoon, a perfect excuse to grab a coffee before unleashing some killer moves on the board.

Whether wielding White pieces with a 54% win rate or maneuvering Black at nearly 48%, Maher Ayyad embodies the spirit of the dedicated chess warrior—fast, clever, and with a knack for turning the tables at just the right moment.

Watch out, chess world—Maher "CuteRook" Ayyad is always ready to strike!
