Profile Summary: ishamassih

Meet ishamassih, a rising rapid chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as dynamic as it is entertaining. Having reached a peak rapid rating of 472 in April 2025, ishamassih shows a resilient spirit, even if the rating graph sometimes looks like a plot twist in a thriller novel!

With 20+ rapid games under the belt in 2025 alone, ishamassih displays a fighting spirit—clocking in 5 wins against 14 losses and a draw. Their longest losing streak reached five games, but hey, every chess hero’s story includes some epic battles lost before the glory!

Tactical quirks: Known for an adventurous approach, ishamassih’s games average around 30-35 moves, suggesting a mix of cautious strategy and bold gambits. Early resignations occur about 29% of the time—some might say it’s strategic humility, others might call it “knowing when to save your sanity.” The comeback rate rests at a respectable 20%, proving perseverance is in the playbook.

When it comes to openings, Van 't Kruijs Opening is their playground — winning half of those (2 out of 4) games. But beware the Pirc Defense: only a 25% success rate there, which might explain why opponents like kevindillingham have had the upper hand. Fun fact: against rhayasjshdhd and aymane20djjs, ishamassih sports a perfect 100% win rate—clearly some foes just bring out the best moves!

As for timing, mornings at 8:00 AM seem to be the magic hour where the brain wakes and strategizes best—anyone else up for a chess coffee meet-up at dawn? Performance on Fridays also edges ahead, hitting win rates up to 37.5%.

The most recent victory came swiftly with the Van ’t Kruijs Opening, where ishamassih managed to coax an opponent into resignation by move 5—talk about efficient ambush!

Whether battling through losing streaks or celebrating shiny wins, this player’s passion and quirky style makes them a memorable friend of the game.

Fun fact: Given the early resignations and tactical twists, friends suspect ishamassih might be secretly training to become a chess ninja—strike fast, disappear faster.
