Esam Ehab - The Chessboard Biologist
Meet Esam Ehab, also known in the online petri dish as esamehab24. A player whose chess moves evolve faster than bacterial culture under a microscope, Esam has cultivated an impressive yet quirky profile in the world of chess.
With a tactical genome boasting a 60.56% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece, Esam demonstrates resilience that would make even the toughest single-celled organism proud. Sometimes prone to an early resignation rate of 11.31%, Esam knows when to fold the claws of this chess creature, showing a healthy survival instinct.
Esam’s rating has undergone several mutations over the years. Starting strong with a daily rating plateau of 400 in 2023, his rating blossomed dramatically to a peak of 777 in 2024 and currently cruises around 850 in rapid chess by 2025—a real evolutionary leap in the rapid division!
When it comes to openings, Esam’s favorites seem to be the classic King's Pawn and Italian Game, with a double helix of openings like the Philidor Defense and Scandinavian Defense also in his kit, proving that this player’s repertoire is as diverse as the lifeforms in a thriving ecosystem.
Off the board, Esam’s win rates oscillate with the circadian rhythm: most dominant during the bright hours of 8 AM (a solid 72.31% win rate) and early morning, perhaps a sign that Esam is a chess-playing diurnal creature. Esam plays most frequently on Tuesdays and Mondays, taking advantage of the midweek biological momentum with a 57.83% win rate on Tuesdays.
Despite some losses (who doesn’t shed a few cells during growth?), Esam holds a robust White win rate of 52.59% and a respectable Black win rate of 47.75%, revealing versatility akin to an adaptable organism thriving in varying environments.
With an average of 54 moves per win and a penchant for endgames (appearing in 44.35% of games), Esam’s style is a patient predator on the chessboard—waiting for the right moment to pounce, just like a well-adapted species in the wild.
In sum, Esam Ehab is a fascinating study in chess evolutionary biology: resilient, adaptive, and occasionally prone to strategic “cell death” (early resignations), but always ready to replicate success on the 64-square petri dish.
