Omar Alabbasi

Profile: OmarAlabbasi

OmarAlabbasi, a determined and persistent chess enthusiast, might not be your typical grandmaster, but he's got a style all his own. With a peak Blitz rating soaring to 1214 in early 2024 and a Rapid peak flirting with 1260, Omar shows a steady climb through the ranks fueled by sheer grit and perhaps a dash of caffeine-fueled inspiration.

His playing style reveals a love for the long game, boasting an impressive average of about 51 moves per win and diligently grinding through endgames nearly 58% of the time. Not one to throw in the towel easily, Omar exhibits a remarkable comeback rate of 78%, proving that when the going gets tough, the tough start plotting their next tactical masterpiece.

With nearly 8,900 games played in Blitz alone—where his secret opening keeps opponents guessing—Omar fights an epic battle of wins (4253) and losses (4419) peppered with strategic draws. His bullet games are another adventure, featuring daring gambits like the Queens Pawn Opening and Scandinavian Defense, showcasing his willingness to tango with high-stakes chaos.

The peaks and valleys of his rating history tell a story of resilience: from an initial blitz high of 987 in late 2020 to a strong resurgence surpassing 1150 in 2024. Though his current winning streak rests at a humble zero, don’t underestimate this thoughtful warrior; his longest winning streak reached a respectable 12 games—a feat worthy of celebration.

His psychological savvy peaks in the morning hours, with a best time to play around 9 AM, and he's been known to stare down the clock and opponents alike with a tilt factor low enough to ensure focus without turning into a poker-faced robot.

Memorable Moments

Among his most recent achievements is a brilliant checkmate victory on June 4, 2025, executing a precise and beautifully orchestrated endgame after a fierce battle featuring the Indian Game. Omar’s final move, Rh6#, was like the icing on a king-sized cake.

Despite the occasional tough loss, such as a time loss to Naryn8888 in a Scandinavian Defense duel, Omar maintains his fighting spirit and eagerness to improve.

Off the Board

Outside the arena, OmarAlabbasi might just be the chess version of a calm storm—quietly calculating his next move while perhaps secretly plotting world peace, or at least a way to finally win a bullet game without losing on time.

Whether a casual evening blitz or a rapid game to warm up the brain, Omar brings passion, determination, and a hint of humor to the 64 squares.
