Mahmoud Reda - The Blitz Maestro
Meet Mahmoud Reda, also known in the online chess universe as mahmoudreda123, a formidable blitz player who's been lighting up the online chessboards since 2021. From humble beginnings with a blitz rating of 264, Mahmoud’s rise has been anything but slow — zooming past 1500 in 2024 and peaking at a blistering 1621 in October of the same year. Talk about a fast mover!
With over 7,700 wins in blitz alone, Mahmoud has battled his way through more than 15,000 games, winning almost as many as he’s lost, and proving that persistence is the name of the game—even if sometimes luck isn't.
