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.
