Mahmoud Haizoun (drbrownmachine)
Meet Mahmoud Haizoun, also known in the chess community by his daring username drbrownmachine. This chess enthusiast has been sharpening his skills through countless battles on the 64 squares, proving that resilience is just as important as strategy—especially when your win/loss record reads like a roller coaster!
Mahmoud’s rapid rating has seen a meteoric rise, climbing from humble beginnings around 200 points to a peak rating of 659 in August 2024, a feat that deserves a round of applause and maybe a celebratory pawn promotion. But don’t let the ups and downs fool you; with a commendable comeback rate of nearly 79%, Mahmoud is the king of turning tides and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
Though his bullet battles can get fierce, he's achieved an impressive peak bullet rating of 732—speed combined with strategy, like a chess ninja striking before you even blink. Blitz and daily games are no strangers to him either, with steady climb and a knack for squeezing wins in unexpected ways.
Playing Style & Personality
- Average Moves per Win: 43.4 - patience is a virtue, and Mahmoud plays the long game.
- Endgame Frequency: 37% - if the game reaches the endgame, you better be ready.
- Psychological Fortitude: With a tilt factor of just 10, Mahmoud keeps his cool even when his rook gets greedy.

Mahmoud mostly keeps his opening secrets close to the chest—in fact, most of his rapid games feature an "Unknown Opening," proving he's full of surprises. But when he does reveal his cards, expect some Pirc Defense mastery (with a 100% win rate in rapid!) and a fondness for unconventional openings in bullet games like the Top Secret and Mieses Opening variations.

Even champions face setbacks though—Mahmoud's recent loss against JacquelineGMVC was a tough time defeat, reminding us all that chess is a game of patience, practice, and occasional blunders (which he handles with grace).
