Riyadh Ahmed - The Blitz and Rapid Chess Adventurer

Meet Riyadh Ahmed, known in the chess world as Riyadhbaq, a player who approaches the 64 squares with the tenacity of a hawk and the unpredictability of a mischievous grandpa at family game night. Riyadh’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of thrilling wins, tough losses, and a few nail-biting draws sprinkled in for good measure.

Rating Highlights

• Peak Blitz Rating: 228 (May 2025)
• Peak Rapid Rating: 380 (January 2025) — that's some serious speed chess wizardry!

Playing Style & Strategy

Riyadh is a dynamic tactician with a knack for comebacks, boasting a 70.42% comeback rate that proves he never surrenders without a fight. His endgame savvy shines through with an impressive 61.11% frequency of pushing games all the way to the finale. Early resignation? Rarely seen here — at just 4.35%, he prefers to wrangle opponents in long, exhausting duels.

Favored Openings

Whether firing up the Modern Defense’s tricky Three Pawns Attack (Riyadh holds a perfect 100% win rate there in blitz!) or navigating the complexities of the French Defense, Riyadh keeps his rivals on their toes. In rapid play, the Kings Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation stands out as a personal favorite with a solid 80% win rate. So, if you see a pawn push to e4 or a Knight hop to f3, prepare for a battle!

Performance Patterns

You'll find Riyadh grinding his best games around 10 AM, with a dazzling 100% win rate at this hour — clearly, mornings are for checkmates, not coffee breaks. Thursdays and Wednesdays also see him in fine form, winning more than half his clashes. Online opponents beware: his win rates vary wildly, from an absolute friendly walkover (looking at you, whitelord_1 and peenu_123) to fierce battles that don’t always end his way.

Recent Battle Memoirs

On May 30, 2025, Riyadh delivered a textbook victory against peenu_123 in a French Defense Normal Variation, securing the win on time after a tactical slugfest. However, no chess hero’s tale is complete without scars; on the same day, he narrowly lost to suhebhoseen in a Queens Pawn Horwitz Defense encounter — a snappy reminder that even maestros have their off days.

The Personality Behind the Pieces

With a modest tilting factor of 6, Riyadh stays cool under pressure — mostly. His average victories last around 61 moves, meaning he loves a good prolonged chess drama. If he’s playing you, expect a chess match with resilience, strategic depth, and a dash of unpredictability. In short, Riyadh Ahmed is a player who turns every chessboard into a battleground for clever gambits, sharp mind games, and plenty of fun.

Ready to challenge him? Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself flustered by the “Three Pawns Attack” or outpaced in a rapid fire duel!
