Muhammed Ali Erişmiş: The Chess Enigma
Meet Muhammed Ali Erişmiş, a warrior of the 64 squares whose journey through chess in 2025 was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! With a rapid rating peaking at 458 and a blitz high of 673 (yes, that number still makes opponents blink), Muhammed navigated the chessboard with a blend of steady brilliance and surprise tactical flair.
Chess Career Highlights:
- Rapid: Played 178 games, snagging wins in over 53% of them. Known for some sneaky openings that he calls "Top Secret" — keeping opponents guessing (and often shaking their heads in disbelief).
- Blitz: With 340 games under his belt, Muhammed clocked an impressive blitz arsenal though the win rate hovered just under 50%. He’s got the speed but sometimes the bulletproof plan slips away.
- Bullet: Only dipped his toe into bullet with 4 games — like a sprinter who prefers the middle distance because the 1-minute marathon is a bit too wild even for him.
Playing Style & Psychological Quirks:
Muhammed’s style is a unique cocktail: He resigns early only about 6% of the time, proving he fights to the bitter end, and he loves the endgame — over half his games make it there. His average game length? A healthy ~52 moves in victories and a bit longer in losses, showing he enjoys a good chess marathon.
When behind, Muhammed’s comeback rate is a whopping 61%, and if he loses a piece? Consider the point instantly reclaimed — his win rate after losing material is a flawless 100%. Either he’s got superpowers or the chess gods favor his stubbornness.
Day & Night Battles:
His best hours on the clock? Early mornings at midnight with a mysterious 100% win rate (whether it's his lucky charm or chess zombification in action), followed closely by 8 AM (76%) and the strategic prime time around 16:00-19:00 where he consistently outshines the competition.
Notable Opponents & Rivalries:
Muhammed's record against some players reads like a chess soap opera — undefeated against “moreltom,” “fadibo,” and "majdyosef," while others like “pandorex20” have seen him struggle with only a 33% win rate. Rivalries keep the fire burning and the pieces trembling.
The Human Side:
A tilt factor of 7 suggests Muhammed is human after all — sometimes letting emotions seep into the game, but never for too long; after all, who can resist a good comeback? And speaking of streaks, he’s had a longest winning run of 8 games, though his current streak is a humble zero — a calm before the next storm, no doubt.
Whether facing a blitz onslaught or slowly outmaneuvering foes in rapid, Muhammed Ali Erişmiş is the chess player you want to watch — if only to figure out how exactly he does it.
