Hasan Yousuf: The Chessboard Biologist
Meet Hasan Yousuf, a chess player whose rating history suggests he’s been evolving faster than a rook on an open file! From modest beginnings in 2020 with a blitz rating of 256, Hasan’s rapid and blitz prowess has blossomed into something quite remarkable — peaking at a rapid rating of 862 in 2021 and maintaining solid strength across all time controls through 2025. It’s like watching natural selection unfold one move at a time.
Hasan's style is a fascinating genetic experiment: he maintains a high endgame frequency (46.6%), proving he thrives when the board is stripped down to bare essentials — really testing his survival skills in the wild kingdom of chess endgames. His average winning games extend about 53 moves, showing enviable stamina and persistence before closing the deal. Against all odds, his comeback rate clocks at a colossal 66.27%, and he boasts a 100% win rate after losing a piece, which might just be the chess equivalent of cellular regeneration!
Opening with a stable genome of choices, Hasan favors the Sicilian Defense in blitz and rapid with win rates hovering above 50%, including some specialized variants like the Old Benoni and the Hyperaccelerated Dragon. His adaptability is akin to an evolutionary chess chameleon, switching between aggressive and solid strategies depending on the prey — erm, opponent.
Psychologically, Hasan keeps his tilt factor low at 9, indicating a cool-headed strategist who doesn’t let blunders mutate into full-on panic. He also employs a mild bit of early resignation (about 14%), proving he knows when to conserve energy, much like an animal retreating to fight another day.
When it comes to his rivals, Hasan’s record is an interesting ecology of foes: he holds 100% win rates against many, suggesting a dominant predator status on the virtual battlefield, but he also has a few “koalas” who keep him on his toes, like jorgeruizz and mst_harsh_chuplunkar-69, against whom the win rate is 0%. Every ecosystem needs balance, after all.
Available most active during afternoon hours (win rates peak above 60% around midday), Hasan seems to have bio-rhythms perfectly attuned to chess combat. His skills form a dynamic dance of tactics, resilience, and endurance — a true grandmaster of survival on 64 squares.
In the vast wilderness of chess, Hasan Yousuf continues to make evolutionary leaps — because in this game, it’s all about who adapts, attacks, and strikes checkmate first!
