Farouk Abdulaziz (aka faroukAhmed16)

Farouk Abdulaziz is a chess enthusiast whose game teeters on the edge of brilliance and delightful unpredictability. Starting with a modest chess rating, Farouk has shown persistent growth, especially in rapid and blitz formats, where his quick thinking proves to be quite the spectacle.

Rating and Style

With a peak blitz rating of an impressive 824 in March 2023, Farouk dazzles on the clock, winning 63 out of 90 blitz games with a sharp 70% win rate. His rapid play is no less commendable, hitting a peak of 648 in early 2024 and maintaining a solid 58%+ win ratio.

Bullet chess? Well, let's just say Farouk's bullet battles are a rollercoaster ride, highlighted by a peak rating of 719. Though the bullet win-loss record sits near even, it's clear he attacks with fearless abandon and entertains with both spectacular wins and learning opportunities alike.

Playing Habits and Psychology

Early resignations occur in about 6% of his games—yes, sometimes even heroes know when to walk away. His psychological tilt factor is relatively low at 8, meaning that even after a tough loss, he’s the type who shakes it off rather than throw his board across the room.

Interestingly, Farouk's best time to fire up the board is bright and early at 5:00 AM. A true morning warrior! His best winning days? Wednesdays and Thursdays, where his win rates are near 70%, proving mid-week blues simply don’t apply here.

Favorite Openings & Opponents

His opening repertoire remains a Top Secret (and we respect that), playing over 200 rapid and blitz games with this elusive style, boasting win rates hovering around 58% in rapid and an impressive 70% in blitz.

Among opponents, Farouk holds a striking record with players like adhmsayed, beating him roughly 78% of the time, and even maintains perfect records against some lesser-known challengers. Though against the likes of steadzo and seifplayschess, the score is a tad tougher—showcasing that every hero needs a worthy rival.

Memorable Moments

Legacy builders take note: Farouk’s longest winning streak stands at an admirable 13 games. His recent victory against “SteadZo” by resignation in 2025 demonstrates tactical prowess and composure, sealing the deal in a smooth Torre Attack.

However, he’s not without his setbacks. The last loss by checkmate showed that even the best can find themselves tangled in tricky Sicilian webs or underestimated threats—no shame in that for a passionate player.

In Summary

Farouk Abdulaziz is the kind of chess player who keeps both opponents and fans on their toes. His blend of aggressive blitz tactics, steady rapid improvement, and the occasional bullet chaos make each game with him a thrilling adventure. Whether you’re facing him on a quiet Tuesday afternoon or catching him in his early morning chess hours, expect some serious moves and just a pinch of chessboard mischief.
