Not your everyday chess player, maftooh battles on the 64 squares with a unique blend of tactical awareness and colorful resilience. With a blitz rating teasing above 1200 at peak, and rapid ventures flirting with the 1500 mark, they balance speed and strategy despite the relentless pace of online play.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting modestly in blitz with ratings around 700-1000 in early 2024, maftooh steadily climbed to an impressive peak of 1218 in February 2025. Rapid ratings show even stronger moments, soaring to a peak of 1504 in 2024, while daily chess specialists will appreciate maftooh's zen-like patience hitting 1529 at peak.

Signature Openings & Style

Known as a fearless adventurer in the opening phase, maftooh adores the Englund Gambit—a daring choice that yields a respectable 54% win rate in blitz games. Queens Pawn variations and the Chigorin have also been fruitful hunting grounds, with win rates often surpassing the 55% mark. When faced with the Sicilian Defense or Indian Game, sometimes things get spicy, but the fighting spirit never dims.

Endgame Enthusiast & Comeback Kid

With over 60% frequency in endgame appearances and an 84% comeback rate, maftooh refuses to go down without a fight. Even when losing a piece, they claw back almost half of the time, proving resilience is more than just a buzzword here.

Psychological Fun

Though a slight tilt factor of 12 indicates moments of frustration (who doesn’t get them?), maftooh shines brightest early in the morning around 5 AM—that’s prime time for checkmating dreams! Also notable: a sweet spot for winning when playing around 11 AM with a solid 56% win rate, and at 1 PM where a cheeky 70% win rate may suggest lunch breaks are more than just food.

Recent Battles

maftooh’s recent games tell the tale of thrilling victories by resignation, showing patience and pressure-building skills. One of the most recent triumphs came from a masterful execution of the London System, converting a critical advantage into a resignation from the opponent after 68 moves – talk about perseverance! Losses sometimes sting but make room for growth; after all, nobody's perfect on the battlefield of the mind.
