Hasan Ali: The Rollercoaster Rapid Maverick

Meet HasanAil, a chess player whose rapid rating journey looks like a thrilling rollercoaster ride through 2021 to 2025. Starting with a promising peak rapid rating of 983 back in June 2021, Hasan’s rating took some adventurous dips and climbs, most recently hovering around the low 200s in mid-2025.

With 16 wins, 21 losses, and 7 draws in rapid games, Hasan is not one to shy away from challenges. He has mastered the art of comebacks with an impressive 81.25% comeback rate after losing a piece — that's some serious never-give-up attitude on the board!

Hasan’s opening repertoire is quite eclectic, featuring the mysterious and successful Top Secret opening with a nearly 50% win rate, alongside less fortunate ventures into the Polish Opening and Indian Game. Notably, he holds a perfect 100% win rate in the Queens Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense and Chigorin Variation — clearly some favorite secret weapons to unleash.

Style-wise, Hasan prefers lengthy battles, with average wins lasting about 59 moves and losses around 60 moves. Early resignation is rare (4.76%), proving he fights hard until the final checkmate, which he’s delivered 9 times – offense is the best defense!

His psychological edge shines at night: Hasan’s best time to dominate the board is 1 AM, boasting a 100% win rate at that hour. Also, Wednesdays and Tuesdays seem to be his lucky days with over 57% wins. On the downside, Thursdays and some daytime hours appear to be his not-so-glorious moments.

Fun fact: Hasan’s toughest rival is j1990l, against whom he sports a respectable 54% win rate, but he has an unblemished victory record over mrarkgaming and zonz10 — watch out opponents, he’s got your number.

HasanAil may not yet be a Grandmaster, but with a track record full of fierce battles, clutch comebacks, and a strategic mix of openings, this player is definitely one to keep an eye on — just don’t be surprised if he sprawls on the ground hunting for his lost knights after a Polish Opening encounter!
