Grandmaster Enamul Hossain (Username: RZ0)

Enamul Hossain, officially titled as a Grandmaster by FIDE, is a chess player whose games can be described as a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the board — expect sharp tactics, stubborn defense, and the occasional brilliant sacrifice. Rated among the top blitz players with a peak rating soaring to an impressive 2646 in March 2023, Enamul brings lightning-fast moves and a tactical prowess that often leaves opponents wondering, "Wait, what just happened?!"

From humble beginnings in 2013 with a blitz rating of around 1350, Enamul quickly climbed the ranks, grinding through thousands of blitz games. With a blitz record boasting over 5600 wins against nearly as many losses, plus a generous serving of draws, Enamul clearly embraces the motto: "Play every game like it's the last... or at least the next one is just around the corner." Their resilience shines through an impressive 86.45% comeback rate after losing material — proving it's never over until the king falls (or the flag drops in bullet time control!).

Enamul's style is not for the faint-hearted: games average around 70 moves when winning and over 80 moves when losing, revealing a player who loves both the long battle and the tactical skirmish. Fun fact — their best hour to challenge foes is the wee hours around 4 AM, perfect timing for insomniacs and night owls ready for a blitz brawl!

Favorite Openings & Performance

  • Top Secret (blitz): over 11,000 games with nearly 49% win rate, because mystery is always a good strategy.
  • Trompowsky Attack: an even split of wins and losses, showing that Enamul likes to keep things balanced... most of the time.
  • Nimzo Indian Defense Kmoch Variation: an 71% win rate where opponents often get pleasantly surprised.
  • French Defense Advance Paulsen Euwe Variation: an 80% success rate — because sometimes the French really know how to charm and attack.

Psychological Trends & Quirks

With a tilt factor hovering at just 11%, Enamul keeps calm whether winning, losing, or pondering the eternal question: "Should I have played that pawn push?" Known to resign early about 0.31% of the time (grandmasters gotta save time for the next victory!), their endgame frequency sits impressively high at over 80%, showing determination to fight till the very end.

Recent Highlight Game

In a recent live blitz encounter against wanyaland, Enamul demonstrated superb handling of the Catalan Opening, securing a win by resignation after a complicated midgame.
