Profile of Makhmood24: The Tactical Rapidfire Challenger

Meet Makhmood24, a rapid chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as dynamic as his rating swings. At just 24 years old, this player is on a rollercoaster ride of rapid chess performance, weaving through peaks and valleys with style and a sprinkle of charm.

Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style

Starting off in early 2024 with a modest rapid rating hovering around 182, Makhmood24 quickly accelerated to a jaw-dropping peak rating of 519 in May 2025. Though like any great rollercoaster, ups are followed by some thrilling dips — the rating somewhat receded to the high 300s in June 2025. This player’s rapid career is a showcase of gutsy fightbacks and learning on the fly.

Makhmood24’s playing style balances endurance and decisive tactics, averaging about 51 moves per win and 46 moves per loss—a testament to their persistence in the middlegame and resilience right through to the endgame (which features in over 40% of matches).

Opening Experimenter With a Flair for the French and Scandinavian

If chess openings were an art gallery, Makhmood24’s would be a fascinating mix of classics and surprises. Although the King’s Pawn Opening is their playground most often (win rate: ~35%), this player shines brightest in lesser-trodden territories like the Scandinavian Defense (winning over 57% of games here!) and the ever-tricky French Defense with a solid 67% win rate.

Some favorite lines include the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation and the Van t Kruijs Opening, both yielding impressive results—it's as if Makhmood24 enjoys making opponents think, “Wait, what? I need to read up on that one!”

The Streaks, The Comebacks, The Tilt

The longest winning streak stands at a respectable 7 games, matched by an equally dramatic 7 game losing streak. Such swings speak to the emotional rollercoaster of competitive chess — which might explain a modest tilt factor of 7. But fear not! Makhmood24 is a comeback artist, boasting a near 70% comeback rate after getting behind—a sign of a fighter who doesn’t throw in the towel easily.

Friendly Rivals and Fierce Battles

Among the many opponents on the battlefield of rapid games, moazzamabbasi11 stands out as the arch-nemesis with a nearly even split: 27 wins, 27 losses, and a solitary draw. It's a rivalry so close it might be best described as “Schrödinger’s matchup” — until one finally pulls ahead.

On brighter notes, Makhmood24 has perfect records against a handful of players like im_ram19 and harmrendra—meanwhile, some others, such as sankovgs and fkinthecoffee, remain elusive victories.

When to Watch the Magic Happen

The early riser’s magic hour? Makhmood24 plays best around 7 AM — an almost mythical time when the brain is sharp, and the pawns obey with extra obedience. Mornings between 7-8 AM show a perfect 100% win rate, though beware afternoons and weekends where the win rate drops, especially on Sundays (a mere 28.57%)—perhaps a chess hangover from all that intense Saturday battling.

Recent Triumphs (With a Pinch of Drama)

Makhmood24’s recent games include spectacular wins by resignation and checkmate, notably outmaneuvering moazzamabbasi11 multiple times. One memorable victory featured a strategic toxic cocktail of the Reti Opening, where Makhmood24 seized victory by resignation in just over 20 moves—showing that patience and relentless pressure does pay off.

Of course, the rollercoaster isn’t one-sided. Recent losses came in fast and furious, including a crushing checkmate at the hands of the same rival. But hey, what’s a chess career without some epic revenge matches lined up?

Final Thoughts

With a tendency to sometimes resign early (roughly 14% of games), Makhmood24 proves that even the boldest warriors know when to conserve energy for future battles. Whether friend or foe, this rapid player embodies the spirit of chess: unpredictability, resilience, and the infinite quest for improvement.

Keep an eye on Makhmood24 as they continue this exhilarating ride — perhaps next time, they’ll convert all those losses into glorious wins, one tactical twist at a time.

“If chess is war over the board, Makhmood24 is a tenacious general still learning the battlefield — but watch out, because when the pawns march, the surprises are just beginning.”
