Mahdi Hassan (Mahdihassan1997) - Chess Enthusiast & Online Gladiator
From humble beginnings with a blitz rating just shy of 900 in 2017, Mahdi Hassan has relentlessly battled through thousands of games, transforming into a formidable force on the online chess battlefield. Known to dance through the chaos of blitz and bullet games with a style blending patience and tactical fireworks, Mahdi's journey is nothing short of inspiring — and occasionally sprinkled with friendly blunders that keep the game interesting.
Career Highlights
- Peak Blitz Rating: 2018+ (yes, we time-traveled) reaching an impressive 2018.
- Peak Bullet Rating: A blazing hot 2228, proving lightning reflexes and quick wit.
- Longest Winning Streak: A confident 13-game tear, because once the pieces start falling, they don’t stop.
- Endgame Guru: Engages in endgames more than 66% of the time — proving most battles are won with brains, not just brute moves.
Playing Style & Traits
Mahdi prefers longer fights with an average of around 64 moves per win — a marathoner rather than a sprinter. Interestingly, he boasts a 79% comeback rate, which means if things get rough, he’s suddenly the chessboard’s comeback king. Legend has it he never loses after losing a piece — 100% win rate in that scenario, which might just be the stuff of chess folklore.
Psychology & Quirks
Mahdi’s tilt factor (a measure of how often a player gets frustrated) sits modestly at 12%, balancing cool-headed strategic moves with the occasional OMG-I-can’t-believe-I-double-fault moment. He’s a night owl champion: winning over 56% of his games during the mysterious hours of 1 AM and 2 AM — clearly, Mahdi’s chess brain doesn’t sleep.
Favorite Opponents & Rivals
While Mahdi’s play record suggests he’s tough against most players, his win rate with "sneaky-boi" is a spicy 27%, showing that sometimes even the sharpest knight meets their match. He’s clashed with "leo96h" nine times with a respectable two-thirds success rate — so if you see Mahdi facing them, expect an intense match.
A Fun Fact to End On
Despite thousands of games logged and an almost scientific approach to chess, Mahdi Hassan is known to keep the mood light with a pinch of humor, proving that chess isn’t just about kings and pawns — it's about kings, pawns, and a good laugh (especially after that unexpected blunder)!
