Profile Summary: Maden Ahmed (gr8_mad)
Meet Maden Ahmed, or as the chess world knows him online, gr8_mad — a rapid-fire tactician who treats the chessboard like a battlefield of wits and occasional blunders. Despite his rating rollercoaster in 2025, with rapid ratings hopping between 127 and a peak of 348, Maden's tenacity remains unmatched. Whether it’s rapid, bullet, blitz, or daily, he’s always in the thick of the action, often biting off more than he can chew but rarely backing down.
Playing Style & Strengths
Maden’s playing style shows a flair for whimsical openings and a notorious tendency to resign early (almost 25% of the time). He’s quick on his feet with an average of 30 moves per win, but sometimes his complex endgames stretch to the brink of sanity. His success with the Bishop's Opening in rapid games is notable, boasting a solid win rate of 73.33% — apparently, he’s quite fond of bishops creeping diagonally across the board to cause some mayhem.
Tactical Highlights
His tactical resilience is to be admired. Maden has an impressive 57.45% comeback rate and confidently battles even after losing material, winning over a third of such skirmishes. But beware his infamous tilt factor of 8 — a hint that when things don't go his way, the emotional storm brews quickly and the queen might fly off the board (metaphorically, of course).
Performance & Trends
With a peak bullet rating of 362 and daily rating soaring to 329, Maden is not one to be underestimated. His best time to strike? Evening hours, especially around 9 PM — the hour when the stars align and his wolves come out to howl at the pawns. Fridays and Thursdays are his lucky days, with win rates surpassing 50%, offering a glimmer of dependable hope for his fans.
Recent Battles on the Board
His recent victories show a knack for endgame patience and timing — winning a nail-biting game by time against Abespira, and delivering a quick royal smackdown with a surprise checkmate against Hsn3090. Yet, his losses often tell tales of bitterly resigned fights or sudden tactical oversights, proving every champion has their off days.
Notable Quirks
- Has faced fadel69oxd 5 times, winning 60% — they must have some epic mini-rivalry brewing.
- Loves Kings Pawn Opening and variations, but somehow the Englund Gambit remains his Achilles' heel (win rate less than 10%).
- Plays chess with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated squirrel; expect thrilling victories and puzzling losses in equal measure.
In short, Maden Ahmed is the kind of player who makes chess exciting: a mix of brilliance, surprises, occasional chaos, and always a fight to the finish. For opponents facing gr8_mad, prepare for anything — the game might be over in two moves, or drag on to an epic battle of attrition. Stay tuned; his next move could be a masterpiece or a comedy of errors.
