Mustafa Samimi: The Friendly Grinder of Blitz Chess

Who Is Mustafa Samimi?

Mustafa Samimi, known online as MustafaSamimi, is a tireless online chess competitor whose activity spans from 2011 into 2026. His favorite time control is Blitz, and it shows in an enormous volume of fast games. Yet his Rapid results are equally fascinating: after years hovering near 1700, he eventually climbed to 2347 (2025-09-22) in September 2025. This is a player who improved through sheer persistence and a love of playing.

Repertoire and Playing Style

Samimi's openings blend classical foundations with sneaky fun. As White, he is happy to play the Center Game, explore the open pieces in the Scotch Game, or march into the Accelerated Dragon. As Black, he frequently enters the Ruy Lopez, the Queen's Gambit Declined, and the bold Blackburne Shilling Gambit.
