Mohamed Mostafa (soln10): The Chess Adventurer

Mohamed Mostafa, playing under the username soln10, is a rapidly rising star in the chess world who blends tactical ingenuity with a penchant for thrilling battles on the 64 squares. Starting with modest rapid ratings in the 300-600 range in early 2021, Mohamed has impressively surged past the 1400 mark by 2024, showcasing dedication stronger than a pawn chain and resilience sharper than a knight’s fork.

Rating Journey & Playing Style

From his early days, Mohamed's rapid rating story reads like an epic tale of ups and downs, featuring thrilling comebacks and nail-biting finishes. With a peak rapid rating of 1466, a blitz peak of 1256, bullet soaring to 1094, and even a solid daily rating of 800, he’s got all time controls in his repertoire.

Mohamed likes to keep his opponents guessing, often opting for openings wrapped in mystery — cleverly labeled as “Top Secret” — with nearly 1900 games played in this style alone. But don’t be fooled; he has also shown prowess with classical lines like the Sicilian Defense and French Defense where his win rates top 100% (yes, perfection is possible in small samples!).

Known for an endgame frequency rate exceeding 60%, Mohamed’s patience is legendary — fights that stretch to 60+ moves are his comfort zone, proving that sometimes the slow and steady really do win the race... or the game.

Psychology & Tactics

While Mohamed’s tilt factor sits at a manageable 25%, his comeback rate is an impressive 78%, making him a nightmare for opponents who think they’ve snagged an advantage. He wins almost half of the games where he’s lost a piece, proving that losing a bishop is just another puzzle to solve for this resilient player.

However, Mohamed values sanity, often resigning early about 8% of the time — a polite nod to the game that “some battles aren’t worth the heartbreak.”
