Mahmoud Quttriyeh (Username: MAMAQ_H) - The Resilient Rapid Raptor

Meet Mahmoud Quttriyeh, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride filled with cunning tactics, strategic battles, and just enough drama to keep spectators on their toes. Known in the virtual chess world simply as MAMAQ_H, Mahmoud dances gracefully between peaks and valleys of the Rapid rating ladder, boasting a personal best of 1446 achieved in March 2025. Not quite a Grandmaster yet, but with over 3700 games logged in rapid format, it's clear this player loves playing the clock as much as the board.

With a nearly equal split between wins and losses (1858 wins to 1826 losses) and a respectable stash of draws (174), Mahmoud embodies the classic fighter who never shies away from a challenge. True to his style, games often stretch into marathons, averaging about 73 moves per win and even longer at 84 moves per defeat. In other words, don't expect to catch Mahmoud off guard with a quick trap — he’s in it for the long haul!

When it comes to openings, Mahmoud’s arsenal includes a love for the King's Pawn Opening: King's Knight Variation, which he has played over 540 times, almost evenly splitting wins and losses. He’s quite the aficionado of the Sicilian Defense family too, dabbling successfully in the Classic, Bowdler Attack, and the Smith Morra Gambit, proving that he enjoys both solid foundations and sharper tactical waters alike.

Psychologically, Mahmoud has a tilt factor rated at 8 out of 10, indicating that sometimes emotions run as wild as a queen on an open file. But don’t count him out! His comeback rate is an impressive 77.34%, and he even manages to win over 43% of games after losing a piece — a true testament to resilience and fighting spirit.

Timing is key for this player, who performs best in the early morning hours around 6 AM —the perfect time when most of us are still dreaming of checkmates. He also has a knack for playing well on Wednesdays, hitting a weekly peak win rate slightly above 51%.

Recent Highlights

Mahmoud clinched a recent victory against reydepista in a spirited King's Pawn Opening battle that ended in a resignation after some beautiful knight maneuvers. You can watch the game here and see how strategy and patience paid off!

Despite some recent defeats — often against tough opponents like THE_ENlGMA and mahmoud-elshiekh — Mahmoud keeps rising, equipped with an unwavering love for the game, a penchant for complicated endgames (played in over 81% of his matches!), and a determination that could rival any chess legend.

Fun fact: If chess were a battlefield, Mahmoud’s longest winning streak of 12 games would make him a general to be feared — and his current (brief) losing streak of just 2 games is a sign he's just warming up.

In short, Mahmoud Quttriyeh is that rare mix of grit, skill, and that wonderful unpredictability which keeps chess exciting. Whether you're a fellow player or a fan, follow MAMAQ_H and be ready for a tactical dance — where every move counts and surrender is never the first move!
