Playing Style
Ramin’s games tend to be long, strategic affairs where endgames are common and preparation pays off. Expect deep maneuvering, patient probing, and a readiness to punish tiny inaccuracies.
- Endgame-oriented: high endgame frequency (plays the long game — literally).
- Resilience: remarkable comeback rate and nearly half the time wins even after losing material.
- Lengthy battles: average decisive games run well over 65 moves; Ramin’s wins often come after marathon struggles.
- Mental profile: moderate tilt factor — capable of rebounds but prefers calm mornings (see schedule).
Favorite Openings & Repertoire
Ramin is a specialist in the Amazon Attack family and loves sharp, less-trodden sidelines that create tactical messes for opponents. He plays both as White and Black and adapts openings to force complexity early.
- Amazon Attack — a trademark choice; the Siberian subline is a personal favorite.
- Czech Defense and the Benoni Gambit — counterpunching, dynamic replies as Black.
- Slav Bonet Gambit and Scotch Game — balance of practical theory and surprise value.
- When he wants to bewilder: occasional use of gambits (Amar, Diemer-Duhm) to invite chaos.
