Ali Bahmani (aka dayarw7) - The Blitz and Rapid Maverick

Meet Ali Bahmani, a chess player whose ladder climbing adventures easily rival the rollercoaster rides in theme parks—except all the thrills come from 64 squares and some cleverly maneuvered knights! With a peak blitz rating of 483 and a rapid rating soaring even higher at 584 in 2025, Ali is a competitor who knows how to keep opponents on their toes and queens slightly nervous.

Playing Style & Strengths

Ali’s games often feature a deep endgame frequency (62% of matches head that way), suggesting a resilient mindset that thrives long after the opening fireworks. Expect games with an average length of over 54 moves when Ali wins—a true testament to stamina and strategic patience.

His early resignation rate is just over 3%, proving that Ali prefers to fight it out rather than bow out early. The comeback rate is an impressive 75%, showing not only tactical awareness but also a stubborn refusal to let setbacks keep him down.

Favorite Openings

Ali seems particularly fond of the Van t Kruijs Opening and the King’s Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation, where his win rates vary but often reflect a fighter who balances risk and reward. In rapid games, the Van t Kruijs Opening shines brightest, boasting a win rate north of 58%. Fun fact: in bullet games, Ali’s win rate with the Leonardis Variation is a perfect 100% over two games—clearly a secret weapon!

Battlefield Records

Ali’s overall blitz record is a nail-biter with almost equal wins and losses (252 wins to 256 losses), while rapid games tip the scale slightly in his favor with 241 wins against 220 losses. Bullet and daily formats are less explored territories but still show the fire of a competitor who’s always up for a quick or slow tussle.

When pushing his limits, Ali has ridden both winning streaks as long as 7 games and suffered the heartbreak of 10-game losing streaks. Although currently cooling off, his love for chess remains undimmed.

Psychological Edge & Quirks

Ali’s documented “Tilt Factor” of 10 suggests even this stoic warrior sometimes lets a bad move haunt him, but his best time to play is reportedly 4 AM. Night owls, this is your buddy! His win rates peak around early mornings and late nights, probably fueled by coffee or sheer stubbornness.

Recent Highlights

Recently, Ali dazzled with a brilliant checkmate victory against jjomon23 in a sharp Italian Game where the attacking flair was undeniable. On the flip side, every hero experiences setbacks—his latest loss was a tough game against Sebzick in the Sicilian Defense French Variation.

In Summary

Ali Bahmani, a.k.a. dayarw7, is a passionate player who embodies the spirit of chess battles: resilient, resourceful, and never shy of a challenge. Whether he’s pulling off comeback miracles or steadily grinding through endgames, Ali’s journey on the 64 squares is one chess fans love to root for—with a bit of envy for his sneaky opening repertoire!
