Sina Movahed - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Sina Movahed, a force to be reckoned with on the chessboard and the proud bearer of the prestigious International Master title awarded by FIDE. Sina’s chess journey is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster — starting with humble beginnings and shooting past the 3000 blitz rating mark, which, by the way, is no small feat. If Blitz chess were an Olympic sport, Sina would surely be hoisting the gold medal (and probably throwing in some victory dance moves).

Over the years, Sina has dazzled in various time controls. Their blitz games reveal a sharp tactical acumen with an astonishing win rate over 52% and a jaw-dropping longest winning streak of 54 games. That's like a superhero streak, but instead of saving the world, it’s conquering foes with knights and queens. Rapid and bullet formats are equally dominated, with win rates soaring close to 67% and 61% respectively — proving that speed and precision are Sina’s signature moves.

Sina’s style of play is a cunning blend of tenacity and strategic depth: they have an exceptional comeback rate of 91% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. This means that underdog moments quickly turn into tales of triumph — if losing pieces had a fan club, Sina would be the president. Not to mention, they average over 79 moves per win, so patience and endurance are definitely in their toolbox.

But chess isn't just about numbers for Sina. Those late-night blitz battles at the stroke of 11 PM or the lunchtime rapid games around noon hint at a lifestyle deeply entwined with sucking the marrow out of every game, every minute of the day.

Always the gracious competitor, Sina’s record against a diverse set of opponents is impressively balanced — except perhaps against kingofthenil and dretch, who may want to watch their backs! Sina combines fierce tactical prowess with a streak of humor and resilience, ready to face any challenge with a smile and a killer checkmate.

Whether you’re an aspiring chess enthusiast or just someone who appreciates a master at work, Sina Movahed’s games are a treasure trove of thrill, skill, and a sprinkle of chess magic.
