Abdul Farrukh (aka maisoBM) - The Brave Chess Warrior

Meet Abdul Farrukh, a chess player whose journey through pawns and knights is as colorful as a rook’s unexpected journey across the board. Known online as maisoBM, Abdul has been carving his path in the 2025 chess scene with a style that’s equal parts strategic and... occasionally adventurous.

Rating Rollercoaster

Abdul’s peak ratings tell the tale of a fighter never out of the game. At his zenith in April 2025, he rocked an impressive Rapid rating of 815—a clear sign he can handle the pressure when given more than a minute or two to think. Blitz and Bullet have seen peaks of 267 and 195 respectively, proving he’s quick on his feet, though sometimes the speed also adds a splash of chaos.

Style & Strategies

Abdul has particular openings he trusts, and sometimes hates:

• Caro-Kann Defense: His personal favorite, boasting a striking 83% win rate in Blitz. Caro-Kann seems like home turf.
• Alekhine's Defense: Another strong suit, with an 80% win rate in Blitz—clearly, Abdul likes to invite opponents to dance on thin ice.
• King’s Pawn Opening: A bit of a love-hate story with more losses than wins, but that’s just part of the learning curve for our hero.

His gameplay is a balance of patience and boldness: averaging about 40 moves per win, implying he’s happy to slug it out in the midgame rather than rush to quick, reckless victories. But beware, his early resignation rate of ~9% suggests there are moments when the queen’s grenades explode a bit too close for comfort.

Statistical Highlights

Here's where it gets interesting:

• Biggest winning streak: 7 games in a row. Somewhere, his opponents were wondering if they had blundered into a tournament for grandmasters.
• Current streak: A stubborn losing streak of 1, because even champions have off days.
• Comeback rate: A resilient 67% — Abdul often bounces back after a lost piece like a chess phoenix rising from the ashes.
• Favorite time to play: 8 PM—because even chess players know to bring their A-game after dinner.

Opponent Chronicles

Abdul prefers a mix of friends and foes, with some opponents like osodabozo having faced him 29 times, and only 21% of those resulted in wins for Abdul. But he’s undefeated (100%) against many others—clearly some chess “easy splats” on the board.

Legend from Live Chess

His most recent shining moment features a spectacular checkmate victory over s_008 in under 32 moves! Link to the game is here—a must-watch move sequence with a queen and rook team combo that would make a chess movie climax jealous.

Final Thoughts

Abdul Farrukh is not just a player; he is a story of grit and growth, learning from losses with a spark that never fades. Whether blitzing through games or taking his time in rapid battles, he's a memorable name on the chessboard – one that never quite backs down, even if his opponents sometimes force him to resign early.

So, if you see maisoBM climbing your leaderboard, prepare yourself for a game filled with twists, tactics, and the occasional curveball. This is chess with character, and Abdul’s journey is still unfolding—perhaps your name will be next to feature in his epic rivalries!
