El Taher Fouad (fofo65)
International Master

Armed with a sharp tactical mind and the uncanny ability to stage comebacks (an incredible 87.02% comeback rate, no less), Fouad has mesmerized opponents from Monday mornings all the way through Sunday game nights.
His blitz rating peaked impressively above 2500 multiple times since 2020, proving that when the clock ticks down, he thrives. With a longest winning streak of 29 games and a current hot streak rolling at 4 wins, he’s not just winning games—he’s on a mission! White or Black, Fouad boasts a formidable win rate (74.43% as White and 65.75% as Black), making no excuses and rarely resigning early (only 18.02% early resignation rate, because who gives up easily anyway?).
When it comes to preferred opponents, some have found themselves in Houdini-level trouble—losing every time to fofo65. Others might consider themselves lucky just to get a draw. And while his rapid and bullet records are lighter on data, his 100% win rate in bullet games screams deadly precision in bullet time.
Psychologically, El Taher has a bit of a Tilt Factor (9 out of 10), suggesting he’s human after all—occasionally tempted to throw a pawn or two across the room—but never letting that stop him from clawing back to victory.
A tactical wizard with an average game length pushing around 68 moves per win—because good things come to those who wait, especially in the endgame, where he shines 73% of the time.
Put simply: if you ever face fofo65 in a blitz or rapid battle, prepare for a rollercoaster of precise attacks, daring defenses, and the occasional sneaky trap. Because with El Taher Fouad, it’s not just a game—it’s an adventure.
