Fahad Almamari - The Relentless Rapid Rook

Meet Fahad Almamari, known in the chess realms as NotFahad00, a player whose rapid games are as lightning-fast as his rise (and occasional tumble) on the leaderboard. Specializing in rapid time controls, Fahad has dazzled opponents with a peak rating soaring to 304 in May 2025, proving that his brain runs on turbo mode when the clock is ticking.

Fahad's style? A curious blend of tactical fireworks and occasional early resignations (about 18% of the time)—because why drag out a losing battle when you can go out with flair? His games typically last around 37 moves when victorious, suggesting he enjoys a good fight rather than rushing to checkmate.

His opening repertoire is as diverse as his mood swings, with a notable fondness for the Nimzowitsch Defense Declined — boasting a respectable 75% win rate in blitz—and an adventurous approach in the Modern Defense and Sicilian Defense. He also throws in the King's Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation for good measure, showing tactical prowess and a knack for surprising even the savviest challengers.

Fahad’s psychological resilience shines through with a comeback rate of over 71%, meaning when the chips are down, he’s just getting started. But beware: his tilt factor of 9 hints he might occasionally vent his frustrations with a metaphorical knight’s fork to his own ego.

Energy-wise, Fahad is a true morning person, with a 100% win rate at 6 AM and an impressive 80% at 7 AM—perhaps fueled by coffee, or just pure chess adrenaline. Interestingly, his lunchtime games are a bit less stellar, hovering around the 28-30% mark, suggesting maybe he’s hungry for more than just pawns.

When things go right, Fahad’s style culminates in brilliant victories, including a recent triumph with a swift resignation from his opponent after a fierce Giuoco Piano duel:
