Mostafa Fouad: The Unstoppable Chess Enthusiast
Mostafa Fouad, known in the chess world by the username mostafafoaud, is a player whose journey is as thrilling as a queen sacrifice at move 15. Starting his rapid rating adventure around 2020 with modest scores, Mostafa quickly climbed the ladder, reaching a peak rapid rating of 1177 in 2021 and maintaining respectable scores thereafter.
With over 700 wins out of more than 1,400 rapid games, and a blitz career sprinkled with nearly 1,000 battles, Mostafa has proven to be a tenacious opponent who won't back down easily. His longest winning streak of 14 games might suggest some serious magic on the board—or maybe just a well-timed coffee break from his rivals.
His style? A curious mix of patience and resilience: averaging around 60 moves to win and never one to surrender early, with an early resignation rate under 6%. Mostafa demonstrates remarkable tactical awareness, boasting a comeback rate above 70% and a perfect win record of 100% after losing a piece—clearly a master of turning tables and causing headaches for his opponents.
His weapon of choice remains Top Secret openings—a nod to mystery or just in tribute to keeping his opponents guessing. Against most competition, his win rates hover near 50%, but beware: he holds perfect records against some pesky opponents with 100% win rates on recent matches.
Playing mostly on Tuesday mornings and evenings (look out for the 2AM blitz games!), Mostafa has a knack for when to strike: his win rate peaks at nearly 64% at 2 AM—and yes, caffeine-fueled brilliance might be in play.
Some call him a relentless competitor, others suspect he’s part chess grandmaster, part secret agent. Whatever the case, Mostafa Fouad’s blend of strategic depth, psychological toughness (despite a tilt factor of 14, proving he’s human), and sheer grit makes every game with him a fascinating adventure on 64 squares.
Keep an eye on this rising star—he’s got the king in his sights.
