Profile Summary: Abakar Galma (GALMAABAKAR)

Abakar Galma, better known by the username GALMAABAKAR, is a fascinating chess enthusiast whose journey across the 64 squares has been anything but dull. With a peak rapid rating of 1372 achieved back in early 2021, this player reveals a love for sharp and tactical battles, leaning heavily on the Scandinavian Defense and its many spicy variations.

Playing Style & Notable Traits

GALMAABAKAR doesn’t shy away from complications—a fact evidenced by a rather respectable comeback rate of 68.28%, which means giving up a piece doesn't necessarily mean giving up the fight! The player tends to enjoy endgames, featuring an endgame frequency of nearly 55%, and generally stretches games out, with an average of 55 moves per win. With roughly equal success on both White and Black sides (around 46-47% win rates), Galma is well-rounded, but one might say the Scandinavian Defense is their playground of choice.

Rating Roller Coaster

The chess rating roller coaster ride has seen GALMAABAKAR reach a bullet peak of 837 and blitz best of 980. While recent bullet ratings hover near 500-600, the steady increase in 2025 rapid play (peaking over 900!) shows a player definitely honing their craft, slowly but surely transforming into the grand strategist that peak ratings hint at.

Opening Repertoire Fun

Known for tactical flair, Galma loves the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation — 86 games played with a near-even win rate of 45%. Oddly enough, the French Defense Exchange Variation tops the win percentage chart at an impressive 63.64%! Whether it’s surprising opponents with less common lines or shuffling through classic gambits, GALMAABAKAR keeps adversaries on their toes.

Recent Battles

The latest games serve as a thrilling saga of quick decisions and sharp tactics. Most recently, GALMAABAKAR performed a checkmating dance using the Scandinavian Defense against astr123, converting dynamic play into a swift victory. Yet, like any mortal on this chessboard battlefield, losses happen—such as the time pressure defeat against giommino. But don't worry, these setbacks just fuel the fiery comeback spirit that defines this player!

Personality & Quirks

With a tilt factor of 10, GALMAABAKAR can get a bit antsy under pressure—so it’s probably best to avoid tempting fate too much after a tough loss. The best time to challenge this player? Midnight, when their brain fires on all cylinders with a spectacular 100% win rate (probably fueled by late-night snacks and caffeine). Their unique rhythm makes every game a dramatic saga of brilliance and occasional blunders—the perfect combo for chess entertainment.

Fun Fact

GALMAABAKAR once won an exquisite game in the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation by checkmate on move 20. Quick, efficient, and no-nonsense—that’s how to make a point!
