Profile Summary: MedSalah86

Meet MedSalah86, a resilient contender in the online chess arena whose journey is as dynamic as his moves on the board. Peaking at a rapid rating of 911 in early 2024 and blitz rating of 791 in mid-2025, MedSalah86 proves every day that persistence trumps instant genius—even if the rating graph sometimes looks like a rollercoaster designed by a sadistic programmer.

This player’s blitz records show a mixed bag with 19 wins, 22 losses, and a few draws out of 45 games in 2025 alone—suggesting that MedSalah86 is not afraid to take risks and gamble on bold moves. In rapid chess, the story is similar, with nearly as many wins as losses, and some fascinating peaks such as a perfect 5 out of 5 wins using the Van t Kruijs Opening. Clearly, unconventional strategies are part of the charm here.

When it comes to openings, MedSalah86 shines brightest in the Four Knights Game Italian Variation (100% win rate in blitz!) and the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack in blitz too, proving a flair for classic lines sprinkled with less-trodden variations. However, the Kings Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation in rapid is where tough times linger, with zero wins in seven games—apparently, that particular enemy is the chess equivalent of stepping on a LEGO brick.

Style-wise, patience defines the game as MedSalah86 averages about 60 moves per win or loss, showing that quick-fire checkmates or lightning defeats are, thankfully, rare. Endgames happen frequently, and when adversity strikes, this player boasts an impressive 85% comeback rate after setbacks, turning losing pieces into opportunities for comeback magic.

Psychologically, MedSalah86 experiences a slight tilt factor of 8 (so "tilting" is more like mildly annoyed) and prefers the sweet spot of 3 PM for performing chess miracles—probably after a cup of coffee. With an early resignation rate kept low at under 3%, our player is clearly not one to quit easily, even if a blunder creeps in.

Opponents beware: recent match data reveals a 100% win rate over numerous foes like recepzdemir1 and bahaa_mosalam. In fact, the list of players MedSalah86 dominates reads like a “Who’s Who” of the chess underworld... though there’s room to improve against a handful of nemeses who have snatched victories now and then.

Fun fact: His most recent victory was a thrilling checkmate in a Scandinavian Defense Closed game—ending with the queen swooping in elegantly at move 30, leaving his opponent no mercy!

All in all, MedSalah86 is a spirited competitor with a poker face, a strategic mind, and a willingness to dive deep into endgames where others might sprint away. Whether clashing in blitz or planning methodically in rapid, this player is a force to be reckoned with—and possibly a great candidate for your next friendly match.

May the forks be ever in your favor, MedSalah86!
