FIDE Master FaridZeynalov86
Farid Zeynalov, known in the chess cosmos as FaridZeynalov86, is a proud bearer of the prestigious FIDE Master title. From modest beginnings in 2018, with a Bullet rating that barely nudged 967 in a single game, Farid's meteoric rise has been nothing short of inspiring (and a tad exhausting for his opponents).
By 2019, Farid was blitzing through ranks, smashing a Bullet peak rating of 2320 and a Blitz top score pushing 2651. Not one to shy away from intense tactical battles, his comeback rate is an astonishing 92.57% — earning victories after setbacks that would make even seasoned grandmasters raise an eyebrow. His resilience shines brightest when losing a piece: he boasts a perfect 100% win rate in those nail-biting scenarios.
Despite the chess gods tempting him with chaos, Farid keeps his cool reasonably well, sporting a tilt factor of just 13 — which in chess, is like staying calm through checkmate threats and unexpected forks. On average, his games are marathons rather than sprints, with winning games running a healthy 78 moves and losses sprawling over 82 moves, proving he’s in for the long haul.
His style? A patient strategist with a penchant for endgames, engaging in them nearly 86% of the time — because nothing says chess mastery like outsmarting your opponent when just a handful of pieces remain. With white pieces, Farid wins over half his battles (51.7%), while defending with black earns him a respectable 43.9% win rate.
Off the board, Farid seems to have a global fanbase of opponents who either love him or love to hate him — he has faced some rivals as many as 65 times, embodying the true spirit of rivalry and perseverance. His most-played opponents know that when facing Farid, it's “Top Secret” territory, hinting at his cleverly guarded repertoire and unpredictable strategies.
Whether it's Bullet, Blitz, or Rapid, FaridZeynalov86 keeps blending deep tactical awareness with sheer determination. When asked about his chess career, he’d probably say, “I do not always make the best moves—but my comebacks are legendary.” And indeed, that’s his signature - a true heavyweight gladiator of the 64 squares.
