Amal Harb: The Chess Microbiologist

Meet Amal Harb, a chess player whose game is as intriguing as a mystery novel titled "Top Secret"—their favorite opening, naturally. With a peak rapid rating nearing 1065 in 2025 and a relentless army of 1484 rapid games played, Amal is no stranger to the battlefield of 64 squares.

Amal’s style is a curious blend of caution and endurance, boasting an endgame frequency of 65.5% and weaving long battles averaging around 74 moves per win. Don’t be misled by their rapid ascent and struggle; Amal’s comeback rate is an astonishing 83%, proving they're more stubborn than a pawn refusing to promote!

While their blitz and bullet adventures were brief (only 2 games each), with a modest rating below 700, the rapid format ignites their true potential. However, they do have a slight tilt factor of 8—so don’t get on their bad side, especially after a loss, because their psychological game is almost as complex as their moves.

Amal’s most memorable streak? An epic 11 consecutive wins, followed by a steady current winning streak of 3 games. Their white pieces wield a slightly better success rate (49.3%) than black (47.5%), making every opening move a small suspense.

Daily battles are sometimes tough, but Amal shines especially on Tuesdays and Sundays boasting win rates exceeding 50%. And when it comes to timing, late-night sessions (10 PM and 11 PM) really see Amal firing on all cylinders, with a peak win rate of 66.7% at 10 PM.

Opponents beware: Amal holds perfect or near-perfect win rates against many rivals, including a clean 100% against multiple foes. One-sided losses are rare, just about 12.6%, which means either it’s checkmate or the furniture stays intact.

So if you ever find yourself sitting across from Amal Harb at the board, prepare for a game full of twists, patience, and maybe a few scientific experiments disguised as moves. After all, who better than a "Microbiologist" to micromanage every square on the chessboard?
