Player Profile: masrawy94
Meet masrawy94, a chess enthusiast navigating the battlegrounds of the 64 squares with a flair for both brilliance and occasional blunders. Starting 2025 with a blitz rating bouncing between 100 and 253, masrawy94 rapidly climbed to a peak of 253 in Blitz and an impressive 493 in Rapid, proving there's no speed limit on their tactical escapades!
With over 300 rapid games played in 2025 alone, a win count near the 200 mark isn’t something that just happens by accident. Sometimes victories came by trickery, other times by patience, but every game was a story: an epic duel with the Queens Pawn Opening, daring ventures into the Caro Kann Defense, and even bouts of the French Defense that would make any modern philosopher proud.
Style & Strategy
Known for an average winning game spanning about 45 moves — almost a full epic novel on a chessboard — masrawy94 enjoys long strategic battles more than quick tactical fireworks. Their impressive comeback rate of nearly 60% speaks volumes of their tenacity: even if a piece or two goes missing, resigning isn’t in the vocabulary just yet.
A connoisseur of the Queens Gambit Accepted Central Variation Modern Defense, masrawy94 also manages to charm opponents with the French Defense Normal Variation and nothing less than a 100% win rate in these rarer lines. Early resignations happen only about 10% of the time—this player fights until the very end, or until the clock mercifully ends the duel.
Memorable Games
Recent triumphs include a stellar checkmate victory featuring the classic Queens Gambit Accepted Central Variation Modern Defense, where skill and patience paid off in a beautiful checkmate at move 26. A swift victory on time against formidable foes, such as nohohank02 and hussain_alaa10, highlights the blend of tactical sharpness and time management that masrawy94 has mastered.
Losses? Oh yes, a few—such as to the crafty BlitzTom who managed a resignation win, and others who exploited occasional moments of overconfidence. But fear not, these setbacks only fuel the next winning streak, which has been known to reach a heroic 9 games in a row.
