مهدی رفیعی - Chess Warrior and Occasional Time Traveler
Meet مهدی رفیعی, known across the chessboard universe as mahdir-f. With a penchant for the rapid time control, مهدی dances thoughtfully between bold attacks and graceful defenses, often finishing games in about 50 moves—because why rush when you can make a grand show of it?

Speaking of which, مهدی loves the endgame almost as much as coffee—engaging in more than half of his battles in those strategic final chapters.
