Mohamed Abdelkader: The Bullet Chess Marathon Man
Mohamed Abdelkader, known on the board as Mo7amed_3bdelkader, is a chess player built for volume, speed, and relentless rematches. While he has competed across all time controls, his heart clearly belongs to bullet chess. With tens of thousands of games logged and a rating curve that keeps climbing, his profile reads less like a single player and more like a small online chess server with a very busy schedule.
A Rapid Rise From the Start
Mohamed first appeared in August 2016 with a blitz rating near 1427 and a bullet rating near 1363. He did not stay anonymous for long. Within a year he crossed 2000 in both blitz and bullet, and by December 2025 he reached a blitz peak of 2448. His bullet peak of 2391 arrived in December 2023, proving he can thrive when the clock is the loudest voice in the room.
A Style Built on Speed and Surprise
If you queue into Mohamed expecting a quiet main line, you have been warned. His opening repertoire leans on unorthodox and aggressive setups. He has played the Barnes Defense thousands of times, and he is equally comfortable with the Scandinavian Defense when the position calls for solid, direct play. Add the Amar Gambit and the Amazon Attack to the mix, and you get a player who is never afraid to make the board feel uncomfortable.
His yearly stats show a heavy preference for 1.Nf3 and a willingness to outlast opponents in long battles. His average winning game lasts around 74 moves, which is a testament to his patience even in bullet.
Rivalries That Define a Career
No biography of Mohamed would be complete without mentioning his great online rival like_good. The two have faced each other 2,335 times, with Mohamed holding a narrow edge of 1,128 wins against 1,071 losses. Another frequent foe, Ahmed Abdallah, has met Mohamed 653 times, with Mohamed winning 385 of those encounters. These are not casual matchups; they are marathons of mutual respect and relentless rematches.
Tactical Resilience and Psychology
Mohamed does not panic when things go wrong. His comeback rate sits at 88.79 percent, and he still wins 42.42 percent of games after losing a piece. His best time of day is 14:00, when the tactical gears turn fastest. He also has a remarkable ability to punish lower rated opposition, winning 72.6 percent of games against players rated below him.
His longest winning streak and longest losing streak are both 21 games, which suggests he plays with the same fearless rhythm whether he is flying or falling. His peak blitz rating is 2448 (2025-12-09) and his peak bullet rating is 2391 (2023-12-01), but the real number that defines him is the sheer volume of battles he has accepted.
