Mohiz Zia - The Rapid Tactician

Known in the chess world by the handle Mohizia, Mohiz Zia is a rapidly ascending star with a penchant for thrilling comebacks and a knack for turning the tide when the odds seem against him. His journey through the ranks is peppered with victories, crushing defeats, and a sprinkle of dramatic checkmates — because why win quietly when you can win with flair?

Rapid Rise and Rapid Rating

Mohiz's rapid rating peaked at 562 in March 2025, a testament to his strategic depth and persistence. Despite occasionally throwing caution to the wind (his early resignation rate is a cheeky 7.7%), his endgame skills shine through with an impressive 40% endgame frequency, proving he’s not just about flashy openings but also grinding down opponents in the late game.

Opening Gambits and Tactical Flair

Mohiz favors the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation in rapid play — going so far as to claw victory from the jaws of defeat with a win rate near 64% using this line. The Three Knights Opening is another favorite, boasting a winning rate above 58%. He's also quite versatile, dabbling in games like the Vienna Game (with respectable success) and even the oft-misunderstood Van 't Kruijs Opening.

Blitz and Bullet: Quick but Calculated

When the clock ticks faster, Mohiz adapts like a nimble fox. His blitz peak rating sits at a solid 425, with a perfect 100% win record in the Italian Game and Three Knights Opening in blitz. Bullet rating might be lower at 379, but he’s still got his moments of brilliance, holding a 100% bullet win rate in the Three Knights Opening.

Statistics With a Twist

• Total Rapid Games: Nearly 800 games fought for glory, with a near-even win-loss record (395 wins to 386 losses).
• Longest Winning Streak: A roaring 12 games in a row — a chess hot streak worthy of applause.
• Comeback King: A whopping 65% comeback rate when falling behind, as if saying, “I’m just warming up!”
• Best Time to Challenge Mohiz: 3 AM — clearly a night owl who thrives in the quiet hours when most pieces are asleep.

Psychological Battlefield

With a tilt factor of 8, Mohiz is human after all — moments of frustration do creep in. But these are quickly washed away by the thrill of the game, as shown by an enthusiastic drive to bounce back. He's the kind to learn from his losses and pounce right back on the board.

Memorable Victory

In June 2025, Mohiz delivered a stunning checkmate against 09kt in a rapid game, complete with a masterful use of the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation. After a fierce battle involving knight sacrifices and queen maneuvers, Mohiz ended the game decisively with a queen checkmate — a quiet but elegant "boom!" moment for fans.

Mohiz’s record against opponents varies like a rollercoaster — some face his wrath time and again, like haliomand and dusatribe, who have battled him three times each. Against many, Mohiz holds an intimidating 100% win rate, proving that underestimating this player is a mistake at your own peril.
