Profile Summary: HamedGhanbarii
Meet HamedGhanbarii, a chess warrior with a penchant for the Nimzowitsch Defense and a rapid-fire style that keeps opponents guessing. In 2025, Hamed embarked on a rollercoaster journey through the ranks, reaching a personal best rapid rating of 479 and blitz peaks at 210. While these numbers may not make grandmasters tremble, his persistent grind in the rapid format—over 500 games and nearly as many wins as losses—showcase a relentless spirit who’s not afraid to mix it up.
With a win rate hovering around 50% in his favorite openings like Nimzowitsch Defense and Three Knights Opening, it's clear Hamed plays the long game—both tactically and psychologically. He’s notable for his comeback rate of 75%, meaning losing a piece is just a blip, not a death sentence, and his opponents better watch out: Hamed is comfortable turning tides when underestimated.
His style? Early resignations are uncommon (less than 10%), but expect chess battles to last. Games won on average after about 47 moves hint at endurance and deep endgame prowess—with a slight edge playing Black (50.2% win rate), proving he’s no pushover when defending.
Psychological resilience? A tilt factor of 9 means he sometimes lets the pressure get to him, but with his best time to play around dawn and early morning hours (7 AM being prime), Hamed might just be the chess equivalent of a sunrise—slow to rise but brilliant when at full strength.
Speaking of brilliance, his recent most triumphant game saw him dismantling alamjjk001 with the crafty Nimzowitsch Defense, winning by resignation after a fierce middle game tussle. Conversely, no chess hero’s tale is complete without defeat: his last loss by resignation came against afifixq, reminding us all that even the toughest knights sometimes get caught.
Hamed’s favorite dink in the openings repertoire is the Nimzowitsch Defense, with a courageous 50% win rate in over 50 rapid games—an almost poetic balance between victory and tight contest. When moving into the battlefield, he faces down opponents with a long lineup of familiar challengers and recently shows a respectable 50% win record against popular names like danusia1990 and azar_786.
In short, HamedGhanbarii is a dedicated chess enthusiast whose playstyle blends dogged persistence, tactical audacity, and a bit of "never say die" grit. If chess were a comedy, Hamed’s story would be the lovable underdog who wins by outlasting the competition—one move at a time, with a wink and maybe a coffee at 7 AM.
