Meet Hassan_sosa: The Rapid Roller
Hassan_sosa is a fierce chess enthusiast whose love for the game is matched only by his rollercoaster of a rating! Primarily a rapid player, Hassan reached his peak rapid rating of 1202 in April 2025, dazzling opponents with a flair for openings like the Nimzowitsch Defense (where he commands a solid 66.67% win rate) and the Four Knights Game (a perfect 100% win rate, because why not?).
Not one to shy away from challenges, Hassan's journey is peppered with thrilling victories and humbling setbacks. His blitz and bullet ratings, admittedly on the modest side (501 and 239 peak respectively), suggest that lightning-fast time controls might ignite a bit too much adrenaline – or maybe he's just plotting his next strategic masterpiece at a more leisurely pace.

Memorable Match Highlight
