Competitive Spirit & Psychological Quirks
Chess is as much a mental game as a physical one, and Husam shows a tilt factor of 11 (a gentle reminder to keep calm and castle on). His highest winning percentage is between 10:00 and 12:00–so if you want to challenge him, avoid scheduling games right around Husam’s peak coffee hour! He tends to win slightly more often playing white pieces (52.24%) than black (46.23%), so perhaps those first moves come with a little extra mojo.
Noteworthy Games
Husam recently secured a stunning checkmate victory in a blitz game against DHACKNEY95 in June 2025. The game featured aggressive central pawn moves and a ferocious kingside attack, culminating in a graceful queen sacrifice and checkmate at move 49 — a true masterpiece worth bookmarking!
