Koorosh Bahmani (Korosh2011342)

Candidate Master & Chess Aficionado

Meet Koorosh Bahmani, a titled Candidate Master whose chess journey is a thrilling rollercoaster ride through tactical skirmishes, time scrambles, and occasional heroic comebacks. With a username like Korosh2011342, this player has made a name for themselves in the digital battlegrounds of online chess, where every rating point earned (and lost) is a badge of honor.

Chess Credentials

  • FIDE Title: Candidate Master
  • Peak Blitz Rating: 2568 (May 2025)
  • Peak Bullet Rating: 2460 (December 2024)
  • Peak Rapid Rating: 1800 (July 2021)
  • Daily Rating: Best recorded at 1067 (November 2020) - because who really plays daily these days?

Playing Style & Strengths

Koorosh is not just in it for the quick kills (though the bullet peak rating of 2460 suggests an ability to blitz opponents into submission at lightning speed). They demonstrate a strong tactical awareness with an impressive 81.86% comeback rate after falling behind — proof that giving up is simply not in their playbook.

Whether navigating the strategic complexities of the English Opening or the sneaky traps of the Caro Kann Defense, Koorosh has a versatile repertoire. Their favorite opening (or perhaps their most guarded secret) even goes by the name “Top Secret,” with solid win rates around 48-55% across formats.

Battle Stats

Like any great warrior, Koorosh has known both glorious victories and humbling defeats. With nearly as many wins as losses in blitz chess (290 wins to 287 losses), the journey is a testament to experience and persistence. Most games end in the classic fashions of resignation or timeout, suggesting that opponents often concede before the clock runs out or the king is toppled.

Despite a notorious 13-game losing streak, the overall spirit prevails — after all, a candidate master doesn't cry over spilled pawns; they just plot their next stunning checkmate.

Recent Battles

In May 2025, Koorosh delivered a swift victory in a Chess960 tournament, showcasing creativity and adaptability on the chessboard when the usual order is scrambled. Their latest impressive win came against “miracmelihtopuz7” with a tactical flourish that forced resignation after a carefully calculated sequence of moves.

Of course, not all battles end in triumph, as seen in a recent defeat by “Magila31,” where even the best can be caught off guard. But hey, that's chess — a game of infinite surprises.

Fun Facts

  • Best time of day to play: 11 PM — apparently, Koorosh's brain switches to grandmaster mode after dark.
  • Longest winning streak: A modest but respectable 10 games. That’s a full harvest of victories before the opponent figures out the secret sauce.
  • Has a quirky opening named "Top Secret" that’s been played hundreds of times — guess it’s working!
  • Average moves per win hover around 74, meaning Koorosh enjoys a good, hearty chess tussle rather than quick knockouts.

In summary, Koorosh Bahmani’s chess career is an exciting blend of fierce tactical battles, strong mental fortitude, and a dash of mystery. Whether blitzing, bulletting, or slow-cooking a crazy endgame, this Candidate Master keeps the chess world entertained and on their toes.

What You're Doing Well

Koorosh, it's clear from your recent blitz games and overall performance that you have a solid understanding of various openings, particularly Chess960 which requires flexible thinking. Here are some highlights of your strengths:

  • Opening Variety: You successfully play a diverse range of openings, including the Nimzo-Larsen Attack and English Openings, adapting to different opponents' styles.
  • Strong Tactical Awareness: Your wins show good tactical sharpness, especially in complex positions like those encountered in Chess960.
  • Competitive Resilience: Despite the ups and downs, your strength adjusted win rate close to 57% indicates that you're performing well relative to your competition.
  • Time Management: You have managed to avoid severe time trouble in your wins, maintaining a good balance of speed and accuracy in blitz.

Areas to Improve

Improvement opportunities from your recent games and trends include:

  • Handling Pressure in Crucial Moments: Some losses were by time or resignation in endgame scenarios. Focus on technique and time management in complex endgames -- practice converting advantageous positions under time pressure.
  • Opening Consistency: While you use varied openings, some such as the Colle System or Nimzo-Larsen Attack have below 40% win rates. Consider deepening your preparation on those lines or selecting openings that better suit your style.
  • Drawing Opportunities: With fewer draws in your record, try to improve your ability to hold balanced positions when needed, especially against stronger or equal opponents.
  • Recent Rating Decline: The recent 3-month and 6-month rating drops suggest frustration or inconsistency. Analyzing your mistakes in recent losses, especially in middlegame transitions, could help stabilize your play.

Practical Tips

  • Review your losses with a focus on critical moments where you lost time or positional advantage, especially endgame scenarios.
  • Solidify your understanding of your preferred openings with updated theory and typical plans; incorporate themes from openings where your win rate is higher (e.g., London System, English Opening).
  • Work on tactics training daily to keep your calculation sharp and reduce blunders under blitz time control.
  • Practice slower time controls occasionally to improve your strategic thinking and reduce impulsive errors.
  • Use time wisely during games, especially in complex positions, to avoid losing on time in winning or balanced positions.

Long-Term Development

Your overall trend over 12 months shows positive progress despite some short-term fluctuations. Maintain your training consistency and focus on learning from each game. Gradual rating increases will follow as you refine your endgame technique and opening choices.
