Rebaz Nasr (aka Rebaz2001)
From humble beginnings in the chilly dawn of 2014, Rebaz2001 embarked on a blitz journey that looked like the rollercoaster ride of a daring thrill-seeker. Starting with a modest blitz rating around 1500, he turbo-boosted through the ranks, hitting a staggering peak of 2523 in November 2024. If chess ratings were rocket fuel, Rebaz would be orbiting Jupiter by now.
Playing Style
Endgame aficionado with a penchant for the long haul: Rebaz's games often stretch into legendary battles averaging over 80 moves per result. Early resignation? Only about 1.7% of the time — proving he's not easily scared off the battlefield. With a comeback rate near 87%, this player turns the tides faster than you can say “checkmate.”
Favorite Openings & Performance
Rebaz keeps his openings a “Top Secret,” engaging most opponents with solid strategies that hold nearly a 50% win rate. In the bullet arena, he loves mixing it up with the Pirc Defense (snagging a neat 56% win rate) and the ever-shifty Reti Openings. His rapid games show his attacking flair, boasting an impressive 71.7% win rate!
Chess Combat Highlights
- Bullet rating peak: a breathtaking 2703 (April 2025), when most mere mortals were still dreaming of the 2200 club.
- Rapid games win rate: 71.67%, proving that when there's time to think, Rebaz thinks like a chess ninja.
- Longest winning streak: 31 games — that's a month of uninterrupted brilliance (and probably some very shaken opponents).
Psychology and Habits
Beware when playing Rebaz at 2 AM — his best time to play according to his own stats — when his tactical radar is at its sharpest. Although he may tilt just a bit (12% tilt factor), he bounces back quickly with resilience that would put Rocky Balboa to shame. Despite loving his endgames, he sometimes trips on time pressure, winning many games thanks to opponents’ clock nerves.
Recent Drama on the 64 Squares
Just recently, the board witnessed Rebaz’s cunning victory using the Reti Opening Pirc Invitation: a tense game full of subtle maneuvers, forcing his opponent to run out of time — classic Rebaz time pressure mastery! Even when faced with setbacks, like a stern checkmate by ‘Ratatal,’ he’s never far from a comeback.
Fun Fact
If chess were an epic saga, Rebaz2001 would be the hero who refuses to quit, battles fiercely in every time control, and holds the chessboard like a trusted steed ready to gallop towards victory. Just don’t challenge him too late at night — his brain turns into a supercomputer!
