Opening Choices

He prefers a varied opening repertoire:

• Queens Pawn Opening (10 games) – a classical start with a 20% win rate; clearly, the queen's gambit needs a bit more love.
• Mieses Opening – his secret weapon with the best win rate of 60%, showing that sometimes unconventional lines pay dividends.
• Alekhine’s Defense and King’s Pawn Opening yield balanced results, proving versatility.

Notable Streaks and Records

From thrill-seeking five-game winning streaks to the humbling five-game losing sprees, Mahdi's chess life is never dull. His comeback rate is a commendable 58.7%, reflecting resilience when down a piece or in a tricky spot.

Against specific opponents, Mahdi's results swing dramatically: a 0% win rate against emilienn29 but a perfect 100% against fans like daniyat17789 and samuel-khan. Guess he's got some friendly rivalries or maybe just some favorite foes.
