Abdel Ghany - aka "ghenwa22"
Abdel Ghany, known online as ghenwa22, is a chess player with an intriguing mix of tactical flair and resilience. With a peak Bullet rating soaring to 645 in May 2025 and an even prouder Rapid rating high of 707 earlier that year, Abdel proves that quick thinking isn’t just for morning coffee runs.
Playing Style & Strengths
Abdel’s style is a cocktail of patience and aggression, with an average of around 55 moves per win and the mental stamina to stick around for the endgame more than half the time. Early resignations are rare (under 3%) because giving up isn’t in this player's vocabulary — unless the coffee runs dry.
Remarkably, Abdel boasts a 73% comeback rate after falling behind, showing a determination that makes opponents sweat. Whether wielding the White or Black pieces, winning chances remain strong, with win rates of about 56% and 52% respectively.
Favorite Openings & Battles
In Bullet chess, Abdel enjoys the classic King’s Pawn Opening and squares off confidently in the Four Knights Game Scotch Variation Accepted, where the win rate hits an impressive 78%. Other crowd favorites include the Scandinavian Defense and Italian variations — openings that help set the stage for quick combos or subtle positional squeezes.
Rapid games reveal mixed fortunes with the Four Knights Italian opening (low 14% win rate), but Abdel compensates with strong showings in the Scotch Variation and King's Pawn variations, proving adaptability in longer time controls.
