Abdel Rahman Hany (aka Hanei11) – The Resilient Chess Warrior
Abdel Rahman Hany, better known by his username Hanei11, is a chess player whose journey could be described as a rollercoaster ride on a wooden knight! With peak rapid rating of 722 achieved back in 2020 and a tenacity reflected in his 82.42% comeback rate, Abdel has proven himself to be a formidable opponent, especially in long, strategic battles.
Abdel’s love for the Alekhine’s Defense is apparent — managing a solid 50% win rate over 18 fierce rapid games. When stepping into Blitz and Bullet arenas, his sharp play shines brightest in openings like the Alekhine’s Defense and the Four Knights Game, both boasting a 66.67% win rate in blitz. It's clear that when the clock speeds up, Abdel’s tactical skills shift into overdrive.
Despite some tough patches and losing streaks — including a current four-game losing streak that he surely laughs off — Abdel’s psychological resilience is remarkable. His tilt factor is a modest 6, and he finds his sweet spot playing around 8 PM, probably after dinner when the brain is fuelled and ready for some chess combat. His early resignation rate might be near 10%, but hey, even the best sometimes throw in the towel before getting checkmated!
Abdel’s endgames are a sight to behold, engaging in them nearly 60% of the time with an average of 57 moves fought before victory or defeat. Whether playing White or Black, his win rates hover close to 40%, demonstrating a balanced and adaptive style. Noteworthy is his fondness for the Queens Pawn Opening and its rich tapestry of variations, showing a liking for classical, strategic battles over risky gambits.
When looking at Abdel’s opponents, he’s got a mixed record but shines brightly against many lesser-known challengers, often scoring 100% against several rivals — a sign that when Abdel’s on, he's absolutely on. His most recent win against “BeeXiTT” featuring a graceful resignation finish shows his skill in wearing down foes.
Abdel Rahman Hany might not yet be grandmaster material (at least not according to ratings alone), but he's certainly mastered the art of persistence, tactical chess drama, and occasional cheeky victories. Expect many more fierce battles, unexpected comebacks, and perhaps a sudden genius move or two that'll leave his opponents scratching their heads.
“Chess is not always about winning, but about surviving the chaos of the board... and Abdel does that rather beautifully.”
