Sina Movahed
Sina Movahed, known online as Sina-Movahed, is a FIDE Grandmaster whose chess profile combines serious calculation, relentless endgame stamina, and a healthy willingness to make the clock nervous. The available statistics show a player especially active in fast online chess, with Rapid listed as the preferred time control.
Playing Style
Movahed’s games frequently develop into long technical battles. Endgames appear in 87.18% of the recorded games, while wins average nearly 83 moves. In other words, resigning early is apparently not part of the opening repertoire.
The statistics also highlight strong resilience. Movahed has a 90.75% comeback rate and wins 59.55% of games after losing a piece, suggesting that an unpleasant position is treated less as a disaster and more as an invitation to calculate harder.
Opening Repertoire
In fast chess, Movahed frequently turns to the Sicilian Defense, particularly the Najdorf Variation and Dragon setups. The Sicilian Najdorf produced a 68.15% win rate across the recorded blitz sample, while the Dragon Variation with the Yugoslav Attack also performed strongly.
The Caro-Kann Defense is another important part of the repertoire, producing a 62.21% win rate in blitz. Movahed also shows comfort with the French Defense, Italian Game, Scandinavian Defense, and a variety of less predictable choices that can make an opponent wonder whether the opening book has quietly left the building.
Competitive Record
The supplied record contains more than 10,000 games across Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Daily chess. Movahed has recorded 1,551 Bullet wins, 4,497 Blitz wins, and a 24-15-9 record in Rapid. The player’s longest winning streak spans 22 games, a sequence long enough to make even a digital chessboard feel slightly intimidated.
White has been particularly productive, with a recorded win rate of 64.12%, while the Black win rate stands at 57.32%. Movahed also delivers the first check in 53.21% of analyzed games and wins 66.28% of those games, making early initiative a recurring feature of the profile.
Rapid Chess Focus
Although Movahed has played extensively in Bullet and Blitz, Rapid appears to be the preferred time control. The Rapid opening data shows perfect results in the recorded sample with the Accelerated Dragon and the Caro-Kann Defense, while the sample remains smaller than the player’s extensive fast-chess archive.
