International Master Khaled Abdel Razik (aka Khallod)

Khaled Abdel Razik, affectionately known in the online chess circles as Khallod, is a fierce competitor who holds the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE. In the ever-accelerating world of chess, Khaled has demonstrated remarkable prowess, particularly in blitz and bullet formats, where his reflexes and sharp tactical awareness truly shine.

Starting with a modest blitz rating of 1322 in 2015 (barely a fledgling!), Khaled rocketed up the ranks like a shooting star, peaking at an impressive 2643 in blitz by late 2022. This guy does not just play chess; he blitzes through opponents like a whirlwind, boasting a solid overall blitz win rate of around 63%. Bullet chess? Even better. With a peak bullet rating of 2601 from April 2025 and over a thousand bullet games played, Khallod’s speed and precision intimidate even the fastest hands at the keyboard.

On paper, his statistics tell a story of a competitor who loves a good tactical melee:

  • Longest winning streak: 34 consecutive wins (because why not?)
  • Impressive comeback rate of over 80%, proving he never gives up, even when down a piece
  • Psychologically strong with a tilt factor of 7 - apparently, even chess masters have their moments!

His style? Khaled prefers to play long and deep battles, averaging about 70 moves per victory, which hints at a fondness for grinding down opponents more than quick knockouts. White pieces or black, he maintains a commendable win rate (60% and 54%, respectively), showing versatility and strategic adaptability.

When does he play best? According to his stats, 2 PM is prime time for Khallod to deliver crushing blows on the board, with win rates cresting above 77% around that hour. Morning riser or afternoon strategist? Seems like the latter!

Off the beaten path, his opening repertoire remains a bit of a “Top Secret” — but with over a thousand games logged in blitz and bullet under this shroud of mystery, it’s clear it’s working. Opponents beware!

As for recent adventures on the battlefield:

  • Latest Victory Highlight: In April 2025, Khallod conquered a challenging opponent with a Queens Pawn Opening, Mikenas Defense, winning by resignation after a tactical masterpiece lasting nearly 50 moves. Check it out here.
  • A Tough Loss: Even masters stumble. A recent game against capatl ended in a time forfeiture, showcasing the brutal time pressure and razor-thin margins common at high-level play. Learn from every setback, they say!

To sum it up, Khaled Abdel Razik is not just a chess player; he’s a tenacious tactician with a rocket for a mouse and a mind sharpened to precision. Whether he’s streaking through bullet games or orchestrating a marathon blitz battle, Khallod is a name that lights up the chessboard – and occasionally, the internet chat rooms with his quick wit and unstoppable gameplay.

Next time you see a 2500+ rating flash in your opponent list, just remember – you might be facing the relentless Khallod!

Hi Khaled!

First of all, congratulations on a solid run of games around the 2550–2600 bullet range (2601 (2025-04-08)). Your tactical alertness and willingness to play fighting chess stand out.

What is already working

  • Fast tactical vision. Your wins against higher-rated players such as Ken_2014 show an excellent ability to spot mate nets under severe time pressure.
  • Pressure with pawn storms. Consistent use of h-pawn or a-pawn thrusts (e.g. 20 h4 h5 vs adj911) often forces concessions before pieces are developed.
  • Practical instincts near time trouble. Many opponents drop pieces or flag once you create complications late in the game.

Key themes to improve next

  • Time-management discipline. Four of your last five losses were on the clock rather than on the board (see the game vs capatl). • Aim to reach move 20 with >40 % of your initial time. • Use pre-moves in forced recaptures; avoid burning seconds on obvious replies.
  • Over-reliance on the “Early c3” system with White. Opponents are starting to meet 1 d4 d5 2 c3 with immediate breaks (…c5 or …e5), equalising fast. Add one main-line d4 system to your repertoire (e.g. the London or Colle) to stay unpredictable.
  • Queen placement in the Caro-Kann with …Qb6. In the loss to sortechess your queen was trapped after 12 Bxb6. Train that pattern: if White can answer …Qb6 with Nc3-a4-b6 or Bxb6, rethink the move. (Tip: look for an intermediate zwischenzug or develop with …Nd7 first.)
  • Piece activity before pawn moves. Games where you push h- or a-pawns too early often leave pieces undeveloped (see vs rohith-p). Make it a rule: two minor pieces out before the third pawn push in the opening.
  • End-game conversion. The loss to Grandseto reached a winning rook ending, yet you flagged. Spend 10 minutes/day on basic K+P and R+P drills so the moves become automatic.

Illustrative moment

Below is the decisive phase of your win against adj911 where you converted a material edge with accurate calculation. Replay it once, but then hide the board and narrate the moves to yourself—this builds visualization.


Micro-goals for the next 20 games

  1. Finish development before pushing the third flank pawn.
  2. Keep >10 seconds after move 30 (

    shows a sharp dip when you drop below that).
  3. Add the line 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 g6 3 c4 to test a King’s Indian structure and practise playing against a blocked centre.

Tracking progress

Re-check the

after one week. If time-losses fall below 15 % you are on the right track.

Good luck, keep the pieces active, and remember: every saved second is an extra tempo you can spend on a winning tactic!
