Profile: Mohammed Younes (mohammedman)

Meet Mohammed Younes, better known on the chess battlefield as mohammedman, a passionate chess enthusiast who has danced gracefully between triumph and defeat on the 64 squares. His journey in rapid and blitz formats shows a rollercoaster ride of ratings, sprinkled with moments of brilliance and, of course, some lessons learned the hard way.

Playing History & Style

Mohammed's peak rapid rating soared to a commendable 1411 in late 2021, and his blitz prowess peaked at 1253 in December 2022. While bullet remains his most challenging format, with a win rate far below his favorites, he nonetheless keeps fighting — probably because he knows chess is a marathon, not a sprint (even if some bullet games barely last a minute!).

His opening strategy remains a closely guarded secret, humorously dubbed "Top Secret" across all formats. With nearly 700 rapid games under his belt using this mysterious approach, he boasts a respectable win rate above 50%, proving that sometimes mystery really is a kid-friendly form of intimidation!

In the Trenches: Wins, Losses & Comebacks

With over 232 wins to 190 losses in rapid chess alone, Mohammed has an impressive knack for bouncing back, featuring a remarkable comeback rate of 73%. Apparently, losing a piece doesn't faze him much; he rewrites the script with a win rate close to 45% after such blowoffs. His longest winning streak stands proud at 17 games, while his longest losing streak (we all have them) is 7.

Psychology at Play

Chess is a mental sport, and mohammedman's tilt factor sits at a modest 7 — he’s human, after all. However, he shines brightest around noon, with a magical win rate spike at 12:00 PM, so if you ever want to take him on, maybe avoid scheduling a match during lunchtime. His favored time control appears to be rapid chess, where he demonstrates the patience of a grandmaster and the flair of a gambit lover.

Memorable Moments

Recent victories include a thrilling checkmate win against ilovesusu123 on April 18, 2025, showcasing trademark moves and a final queen's gambit of Qf1#. True to his unpredictable nature, he’s capable of shocking flashes of tactical genius especially when others least expect it (and sometimes when he forgets his opening book!).

Player Personality

A chess warrior known for resilience, Mohammed balances a competitive spirit with a good dose of humor — if losing streaks were trophies, he’d have a full cabinet by now. But don’t be fooled; every setback is merely a setup for a comeback. His battle scars are badges of honor, earned on chess.com’s virtual fronts, where usernames like ilovesusu123 have fallen victim to his calculated assaults.

Whether he's diving into blitz, strategizing in rapid, or slowly plotting in daily games, mohammedman continues to embrace every move — checking, mating, occasionally blundering, but always learning and enjoying the game.
