FLASH - فلاش

Player Profile: FLASH - فلاش (aka Dodo-flash)

Meet FLASH, the blitz maestro whose nickname might suggest speed but whose games reveal a fascinating blend of tactical cunning and endurance. Despite not yet having grandmaster status, FLASH’s journey through the chess ranks has been anything but boring.

Rating Odyssey

Starting from humble beginnings, FLASH’s blitz rating has seen a meteoric rise from 100 in 2023 to an impressive peak of 601 in 2025. This steady ascent reflects relentless dedication and a fair share of mouse-slamming moments.

• 2023 Blitz Range: 100 to 462
• 2024 Blitz Range: 212 to 404
• 2025 Blitz Range: 190 to a blazing 601 (currently sitting at 536)

Playing Style and Strengths

FLASH isn’t your typical player who surrenders at the first sign of sticky positions. With a come-back rate of 55.61% and a flawless win rate of 100% after losing a piece, FLASH embodies the spirit of “never say die” in chess battles. One-sided losses? Only about 19%, which means the player learns as much as they deliver sharp blowbacks.

Endgames are favored almost half the time (47.62% frequency), where FLASH’s patient and gritty approach shines through. The average win lasts 53 moves — a testament to their stubbornness and fighting spirit, while losses average slightly fewer moves, hinting at some surprise finishes and dramatic swings.

Openings Repertoire

Feeling traditional or fancy, FLASH has a broad opening arsenal. The Bishops Opening is a well-loved choice with near 51% win rate, and the “Van t Kruijs Opening” yields an impressive 59% win rate in blitz. Other fan favorites include the Scandinavian Defense and the King's Pawn Opening.

In bullet games, FLASH shows some daring spirit with an excellent 75% win rate using the Englund Gambit — not for the faint of heart! In rapid games, the legendary Englund Gambit even grabs 100% wins, proving that bold gambits aren’t just flashy but effective.

Psychological Profile and Habits

With a tilt factor of 16, FLASH isn’t immune to those moments of frustration. But hey, who is? Rated vs casual win difference of 16.07 suggests the pressure of rated games sparks some fiery determination.

Time-wise, FLASH is almost unbeatable at the witching hour, boasting a 55% win rate at 3am — clearly nocturnal chess is when inspiration strikes. Peak playing hours hover around 10-11am and 7-8pm, with some surprise spikes at 2am and 7am.

Memorable Recent Games
