Profile: Mahmoud Zammar (mahmoud2mz)
Meet Mahmoud Zammar, aka mahmoud2mz, a chess player whose blitz rating journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster, climbing from a humble 282 in late 2023 to a blazing peak of 891 by April 2025. Not one to shy away from fierce battles, Mahmoud has logged over 1,100 blitz and rapid games combined — and yes, he wins more often than he loses, but not without a good tussle.
A tactical wizard with a flair for comebacks — boasting an impressive 83.66% comeback rate — Mahmoud thrives when the chips are down. His games often last around 60 moves when he wins, proving he’s patient enough to squeeze the opponent dry but quick enough to avoid long, drawn-out fights when behind. His favorite time to wreck your defenses? Oddly enough, the wee hours around 2 AM — when most of us are asleep, Mahmoud is sharpening his tactical claws.
Opening repertoire? From the mysterious depths of the “Top Secret” opening, with nearly 50% win success, to shining brightest with the “Unknown Opening” and the reliable Caro-Kann Defense (where he has some sweet 70% win streaks in variations), Mahmoud’s gamebook is eclectic and effective. He even dares the Italian Game, though his win rate there could use a bit more love.
Off the board, Mahmoud’s psychological resilience is tested by a tilt factor of just 7 (low-key calm, or does he just blame the pawns?), and he’s earned a reputation for being a formidable opponent on Fridays and Sundays with win rates above 53%. Beware if you face him at 10 AM or 3 AM; his win rate soars above 60% during those hours — clearly the perfect time for a chess duel or a secret caffeine boost.
Recent games highlight his mastery in the Caro-Kann and Philidor Defenses — where he delivered checkmate victories and out-timed opponents alike. Though occasionally toppling against the swift checkmates of opponents like loryloko, Mahmoud’s resilience and ability to bounce back remain his trademark.
In summary: Mahmoud Zammar is a fiercely competitive, strategic thinker with a penchant for late-night blitz dominance and surprising comebacks. He keeps opponents on their toes, claiming wins with both style and substance — a player to watch and definitely someone you don’t want to underestimate, especially if you plan to face him on a Friday morning coffee break or a Saturday night blitz party.
