A Volume That Would Tire a Grandmaster
Since 2020, Ezat has played an astonishing number of rated blitz games, winning more than 10,000. He opens most games as White with 1.d4, builds quiet pressure, and then outlasts opponents in endgames, which appear in more than 80 percent of his games. His preparation depth has grown from five moves in 2020 to seven moves by 2026, a sign of a player who keeps sharpening the blade.
Favorite Battlegrounds
Ezat is a creature of habit in the best way. As Black, he leans heavily on the Caro-Kann Defense, a choice that has served him well in more than 1,300 blitz games. As White, he is equally comfortable in the Slav Defense and the King's Indian Defense, and he happily takes on the Sicilian Defense when the Alapin Variation is available. His win rate by opening shows a player who knows exactly where he wants the game to go.
Rivals and Rivalries
No serious online grinder is complete without a nemesis, and Ezat has several. His most frequent sparring partner is Florescu Codrut Constantin, who has faced him 92 times. Ezat leads that series 52 wins to 34, with 6 draws. Another familiar name is Nebojsa Djordjevic, who has played him 74 times; that rivalry is closer, with Ezat holding 35 wins, 28 losses and 11 draws. These repeated battles give his online career the feeling of a neighborhood chess club where everyone knows everyone's repertoire.
The Comeback King
Perhaps the most striking number in Ezat's profile is his comeback rate of 89.45 percent. He has lost pieces in thousands of games, yet he still wins nearly half the time after doing so. His longest winning streak reached 16 games, matched by a longest losing streak of 16 games, which proves he treats defeat as a temporary condition. His best time of day is 06:00, when his win rate climbs above 57 percent, so early birds should bring their best lines.
A Slow Burn in Daily Chess
For all the blitz fireworks, Ezat's Daily chess journey is a testament to patience. He climbed from a modest 400 rating in early 2022 to a peak of 1359 (2026-07-24), showing that even an International Master enjoys the slow burn of a correspondence-style fight. He almost never rage quits, with an early resignation rate around 2.65 percent, and he remains one of the most persistent players on the site.
