Mazen Mohammed (aka mazen2777)

Mazen is a fiery chess enthusiast who thrives in the realm of rapid chess, where quick thinking and bold moves dictate the battlefield. With a peak Rapid rating of 442 achieved in May 2025, Mazen has shown a remarkable climb from humble beginnings. Starting at a modest 234, he skyrocketed to the upper echelons in just over a year—proving that persistence and a dash of daring can pay off handsomely.

Known for his gritty comebacks with a stunning 70.86% comeback rate, Mazen doesn't just play to win; he plays to entertain. Whether executing a surprising sacrifice or grinding through endgames (which he frequents in over half of his matches), his games often stretch beyond the usual—averaging about 48 moves in victories and a stubborn 65 moves even in losses. If chess games were marathons, Mazen would be the one sprinting at the 40th kilometer.

Opening Choices

Mazen’s opening repertoire is a mix of classical staples and sneaky variations. Favorites include:

• King’s Pawn Opening with a solid 61.9% rapid win rate
• Queen’s Pawn Opening - Zukertort Chigorin Variation where he dominates with 66.67% wins
• Scandinavian Defense Closed boasting a whopping 71.43% success rate

Blitz and bullet are less traveled terrain for Mazen, but he still maintains respectable performance, peaking at 226 in Blitz and 147 in Bullet. His preferred time control is undoubtedly Rapid, where his strategic depth and tactical awareness shine brightest.

Personality & Playing Style

When Mazen is not sweating over the board or keyboard, you might find him chuckling at his own “early resignation rate” of 6.52%. After all, not every battle is meant to be won, and who wants to waste time against a pass-the-move machine?

Though he occasionally tilts (an 8 on the tilt factor scale), Mazen compensates with sharp attacks, clever defenses, and a knack for turning the tables after losing a piece (43.32% win rate in such moments). Despite a rather balanced White (57.89% wins) and Black (42.28% wins) performance, he confidently strides into positions that tend to stretch the opponent’s nerves to the limit.

Recent Battles

His latest victory was a dazzling triumph by resignation, illustrating his knack for pressing advantages until the final sigh from opponents like krishupla and abulith_1. In contrast, losses sometimes come from strong adversaries such as westwardchap — proof that even warriors face occasional setbacks.

Fun fact: One of Mazen's favorite hours to play is 22:00, where his win rate hits a remarkable 83.33%. Maybe that’s when the chess gods whisper to him, or he just drinks the right amount of coffee.
