Muhammad Saad - The Rapid Riser of the Chessboard
Meet Muhammad Saad, or as chess.com knows him, heheehere — a player whose rapid rating skyrocketed from humble beginnings to an explosive peak of 666 in May 2025. That's right, the number of the beast, but fear not, Muhammad uses his powers for good — and checkmate.
Journey Through the Ranks
Starting 2024 with a modest rapid rating hovering around 140, Muhammad's tenacity quickly bore fruit. By early 2025, he was cruising with a solid 336 rating and ended up dominating May 2025 with a sizzling 666 rating — a meteoric rise fueled by 26 games with a stunning 23 wins and only 3 losses.
Style & Strengths
What makes Muhammad tick? A balanced mix of persistence and flair. He enjoys engaging endgames — nearly 41% of his games reach the final battle — proving his stamina and strategic depth. He’s a reliable finisher with a remarkable 76% win rate when playing white and a tough 69.5% when handling the black pieces.
His comeback skills are nothing to scoff at either: a cool 50% comeback rate and a 66.7% win rate even after losing a piece. Basically, if Muhammad loses material, don’t count him out — he’s often just warming up.
Opening the Game
Muhammad’s secret weapons? The King’s Pawn Opening and its King's Knight Variation, boasting winning percentages of 60% and 75%, respectively. He’s also undefeated (so far) in the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Modern Variation and several other more exotic openings — talk about a well-stocked toolbox.
Winning Against, and Failing Against...
Against most opponents, Muhammad is almost unstoppable, with perfect 100% win rates against players like happylady555, superpressing, and clacub12c. The only one who managed to sneak past him recently is rykertyu — forgive him, for he knows not what he does!
Peak Moments & Noteworthy Games
His latest masterpiece? A checkmate victory in a rapid game against happylady555 on May 23, 2025, finishing with a ruthless queen hunt that left the opponent gasping for mercy. Witness the carnage here!
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Best playing time: The mystical hour of 1 AM — clearly, Muhammad loves to play when the moon is high and others are asleep.
- Psychological tilt factor: A low score of 2, meaning rage quitting is not on the menu.
- Average moves per win: Around 40 moves, not too fast and not too slow — just the perfect pacing for a thriller.
If Muhammad Saad were a chess piece, he'd be a queen — versatile, powerful, and occasionally unstoppable. Keep an eye on this rising star; his journey through the ranks is nothing short of legendary (and entertaining!).
