Profile Summary: Rahman Syed Mahfuzur (Emon005)

Meet Rahman Syed Mahfuzur, affectionately known by their username Emon005 in the chess cosmos. A proud FIDE Master, Rahman has carved a niche in the world of chess with a blend of tactical genius and a touch of creative madness that leaves opponents scratching their heads. If chess were a battlefield, Rahman is the general who commands with precision, yet sometimes throws in a delightful curveball just to keep the game spicy.

From blitz to bullet to rapid, Rahman's ratings have scaled the peaks and navigated valleys like a seasoned mountaineer. Their Blitz peak rating soared to an impressive 2166, while their bullet games have danced to a high of 2129. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Rahman's win rates hover around a commendable 60-70% in their favorite time formats — the kind of stats that make other players reconsider their strategy (or just resign immediately).

Speaking of strategy, Rahman's style is wonderfully unpredictable. With nearly 70% endgame frequency, they tend to drag battles deep into the zone where only nerves of steel survive. An early resignation rate below 10%? Clearly, Rahman prefers fighting to the bitter end — unless the coffee runs out (then all bets might be off).

Their longest winning streak was a jaw-dropping 32 games — that's nearly a grandmaster-level streak of dominance! But don’t think it’s all smooth sailing; Rahman has a tilt factor of 17, suggesting a pinch of passion and probably a few facepalms along the way. The best time to catch Rahman at the board? At 5 AM, when the mind is sharp and the opponent is probably still snoozing.

Rahman is also known for an almost supernatural comeback rate of 77%, bravely turning the tide after losing pieces — a true phoenix rising from the ashes on the chess battlefield.

Recent Adventures

In their latest Chess960 exploits, Rahman dazzled with victories achieved on time, a testament to not just skill but also endurance and clock management. Even when luck wasn’t on their side, the resilience shown is exemplary — sometimes the opponent gets lucky, but Rahman’s spirit never flags.

Fun Fact

It’s rumored that Rahman’s secret opening preparation is so classified it’s simply dubbed "Top Secret" — a fitting codename for a player whose games are filled with surprises and innovation.

Whether you're a fan, a fellow competitor, or just a chess enthusiast, Rahman Syed Mahfuzur is a player to watch: combining tactical wizardry with an undying fighting spirit and a dash of humor that makes chess not just a game, but a thrilling story unfolding move by move.

Personalized Feedback for Rahman Syed Mahfuzur (a.k.a. “Emon005”)

1. What you’re already doing well

  • Tactical Vision: Your live-game victories show sharp calculation. In the Scandinavian miniature you found the forcing line 8…Nd3+ followed by 10…Nxe1 and converted smoothly. Great use of double-attacks and forcing moves.
  • Opening Variety: You’re willing to play both 1…d5 against 1.e4 (Scandinavian) and counter-gambits against 1.d4, avoiding predictability.
  • Confidence against higher-rated players: Beating opponents such as zbigniew wieczorek (2314) proves you can handle pressure.

2. Biggest growth areas

  1. Time Management
    • All five recent Daily losses were on time. You’re giving away full points before a single tactical mistake occurs.
    • Even in blitz you occasionally drift under 10 s and miss clean mates.
    Target: Cut your time-forfeit rate below 5 % this month. (Current “timeouts” trend is visible in
    01234567891011121314151617181920212223100%0%Hour of Day
    .)
  2. Chess960 Fundamentals
    • Early moves often ignore development and king safety.
    • Because castling rights differ, copying classical openings doesn’t work. Learn generic principles: central pawn one-steps, quick minor-piece deployment, and early king evacuation.
  3. Opening Structure vs 1.d4
    • In the Accelerated London game you played …f6 and …Kf7; this held tactically, but the structure was shaky.
    • Consider sounder setups (e.g. the Slav or Queen’s Gambit Accepted) to avoid long-term weaknesses.

3. Action plan (next 4 weeks)

WeekFocusExercise
1 Daily-game routine • Set two phone alarms each day.
• Use conditional moves for forced replies.
2 Chess960 openings • Play 10 unrated 960 games; in each, spend first 3 moves checking king-side castling path.
• Watch for central pawn pushes & fast bishops.
3 Solid vs 1.d4 • Build a 10-move “core” repertoire file (Slav or QGA).
• Drill with 15 puzzles from that structure.
4 Blitz end-games • Solve 20 king-and-pawn studies to finish games quickly and avoid flagging.

6. Final encouragement

Your tactical eye is already at Expert level. Fix the clock issue and tighten your Chess960 fundamentals, and you’ll surpass the 2000 rating barrier before the year ends. Good luck, and keep me posted!
