Meet Mohamed Mahdy, better known in the chess world as Marshmelooo – a rapidly rising star who turns pawns into candy and opponents into humble admirers (or at least tries to). Starting with humble beginnings in 2021, Marshmelooo launched onto the scene with a modest rapid rating of 411, and since then, has been steadily climbing the rating ladder, reaching a peak rapid rating of 1128 as of March 2024. Not too shabby for someone who obviously knows how to sweeten the board!
Playing Style & Stats
Rapid: With over 440 rapid games played, Marshmelooo boasts a win rate of about 55.23%, which is basically saying “I’m here to play and sometimes make you cry.”
Blitz: Blitz may be faster than a hiccup, but Mohamed’s skills shine here too, hitting a peak rating of 971 and winning more than half his games.
Bullet and Daily: Bullet chess shows Marshmelooo keeps cool at lightning speed (peak 758 rating), while daily chess stats remind us that patience is a virtue, even if there are only a few games played.
Quirks & Highlights
This dynamic player is known for a strong comeback rate — nearly 76% of the time, Marshmelooo bounces back after losing a piece, proving resilience is their middle name. The classic “Marshmelooo never quits” vibe is backed by an impressive longest winning streak of 12 games, which is basically enough to start believing in magic (or at least extraordinary opening prep).
Mohamed enjoys playing in the late evening, with the best time to challenge him being around 10 PM, when presumably his marshmallow brain is perfectly toasted and ready to roast opponents alive on the chessboard.
Signature Openings
Though the exact openings remain classified as “Top Secret,” Marshmelooo’s experience reveals a strong, tactical player who knows how to navigate the complexities of the Modern Defense and Sicilian variations with finesse — a delicious recipe for both sweet victories and occasional bitter lessons.
Recent Battle Tales
In his latest triumph, Marshmelooo secured a convincing win by resignation – a testament to his strategic pressure and unrelenting attacks. On the flip side, even Marshmelooo knows that sometimes the marshmallow melts, having been checkmated in a tough battle against a seasoned rival. But with an 8-point tilt factor, one can be sure the comeback is always underway!
A Friendly Reminder
Mohamed Mahdy’s chess journey might still be in progress, but the charm, determination, and persistence displayed make him a player worth watching. Whether you want to face a fierce competitor or just someone who might offer you a smores recipe after the game, Marshmelooo is the opponent who keeps every match interesting.
