Hamid Abdelrhman (hamidriad) - Chess Enthusiast and Tactical Operator

Meet Hamid, better known in the chess world as hamidriad, a resilient and strategic chess player whose battle over the 64 squares is nothing short of legendary. With a career spanning over a decade, starting back in 2013, Hamid has honed his skills in the rapid-fire world of Bullet games, the intense tempo of Blitz, and the thoughtful pace of Rapid chess. If chess were a battlefield, Hamid would be the commander who sometimes sacrifices a pawn but never the will to win!

Rating Journey & Achievements

Hamid’s Bullet rating soared to a peak of 1987 in September 2018, proving his lightning-fast instincts and nerve under pressure. On the Rapid front, he crowned himself with a 2234 rating in April 2021 – easily outpacing anyone contemplating a mid-game snack break. Blitz is also his playground, where he once reached an impressive 2149 rating in July 2014.

Not one to shy away from daily chess, Hamid reached a respectable peak of 1379 on one occasion, showing there's more to this tactician than just fast-paced games. Across all formats, Hamid’s total wins impressively number in the thousands: 5638 in Bullet, 7585 in Blitz, and a steady number in Rapid and Daily games too – clearly, the king’s safety is always his priority!

Playing Style & Opening Preferences

Known for his love of complex and dynamic openings, Hamid is a fan of the Pirc Defense in Bullet and Rapid games, diving into variations like the Modern Defense Geller System and Classical Variation with an almost scientific curiosity, though he maintains a slightly mischievous win rate just below 50% there – perfect balance for suspense! He's also fond of the Scandinavian Defense, boasting over 50% win rate in Bullet, proving he's as comfortable disrupting opponents’ plans as he is setting traps.

His Blitz games showcase a consistent preference for the Kings Indian Attack and Pirc Defense, showcasing an aggressive, tactical approach that keeps his opponents guessing. It’s been said that his midgame strategies could inspire an action movie script—lots of twists, comebacks, and heart-stopping moments. Approaching the endgames with patience, Hamid averages close to 63 moves per win, truly embodying the "endgame artist" title with 75% frequency.

Tactical Awareness & Psychological Profile

What sets Hamid apart is his knack for coming back from adversity. With an impressive 78.88% comeback rate and a respectable win rate after losing a piece, he’s the sort of player who never screams “Check please!” at life’s challenges. Sure, his tilt factor might hit 17 (hey, no one’s perfect!), but his best games come at 3 PM—a perfect time for coffee and crushing pawns.

Recent Games Snapshot

In his most recent victorious encounter, Hamid showcased finesse in the Kings Indian Defense, Fianchetto Yugoslav Panno System, outlasting his opponent on the clock and the board with resilience and style. Another highlight was a swift checkmate victory in the Scandinavian Defense—because who says you can't have fun while crushing your foes?

Fun Facts

  • Opening choice inspiration: Rumored to have learned Pirc Defense after watching a dramatic chess thriller. Or maybe he just likes to confuse opponents.
  • Preferred time to play: When the clock hits 3 PM, coffee is brewing, and Hamid is ready to check and mate.

Summary of Recent Performance

You've recently experienced some ups and downs in your bullet games, with a slight dip in rating over the past month and three months. However, your performance shows resilience and a strong foundation, especially with your overall win rate being close to 50% and your strength adjusted win rate just under 50% as well.

What You're Doing Well

  • Opening Repertoire: Your handling of openings such as the Scandinavian Defense and Amar Gambit is solid, with win rates close to 50%, showing good preparation and comfort in these lines.
  • Diversified Openings: You have a good variety of openings, from the Czech Defense to the Vienna Gambit and Pirc Defense, which indicates adaptability in your play style.
  • Finishing Skills: Your recent wins include clean checkmates, demonstrating sharp tactical awareness and the ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes quickly.
  • Time Management: Winning on time in some games suggests you're fairly comfortable managing your clock in rapid, bullet-paced games.

Areas to Improve

  • Consistent Rating Stability: Your recent one-month rating drop indicates some inconsistency. To improve, focus on maintaining steady performance by analyzing and learning from your losses.
  • Endgame Technique: Some losses and draws showed close endgame positions; strengthening your endgame fundamentals can convert more games in your favor.
  • Opening Preparation & Response: Although your openings are varied, some lines like the Caro-Kann and Modern have slightly lower win rates. Deepen your understanding of these lines to reduce losses.
  • Time Pressure Play: While winning on time is positive, it's important not to rely too heavily on this. Practice quick, reliable move selection to avoid blunders during critical moments.
  • Tactical Awareness: Some recent games finished quickly with checkmates, showing good attacking instincts. However, focus also on spotting and avoiding tactical traps from opponents to minimize sudden losses.

Recommendations for Improvement

  • Analyze your recent losses, especially the ones where the rating dropped, to identify repeated mistakes or misjudgments.
  • Study common endgame patterns and practice them with drills or practice games to improve your conversion rate in tight positions.
  • Refine your knowledge of openings with below-average performance by reviewing theory and playing training games to build confidence.
  • Work on your bullet game speed by doing tactical puzzles and playing timed exercises to balance speed and accuracy.
  • Focus on key moments in games where you can either gain advantage or avoid disadvantage. Pause briefly and evaluate threats to reduce blunders.

Final Thoughts

Hamid, your overall chess journey shows solid strengths in attack and opening diversity, but like many players, there is room to grow in consistency and endgame skills. Use your recent experiences as learning opportunities and keep practicing steadily. Your positive rating slopes over longer periods suggest strong potential for improvement. Keep challenging yourself, and don't be discouraged by short-term setbacks.
