Hasan Atis: The Candidate Master Who Plays Like There’s No Tomorrow
Meet Hasan Atis, a chess lover who decided that “fun” and “fierce competition” could co-exist on the 64 squares. Awarded the prestigious Candidate Master title by FIDE, Hasan has graciously accepted the challenge of outwitting opponents at lightning speed.
Known online as soul_mortall (because mortal he is — until the clock runs out!), Hasan specializes in the adrenaline-pumping domains of Bullet and Blitz chess. With a peak bullet rating of an impressive 2628 (April 2025) and a near-equal blitz peak at 2616 (March 2025), Hasan dances dangerously close to the realm of the super-rapid grandmasters.
Fancy a battle where each player has less than a minute? Hasan thrives here, averaging victories right around the 50% mark, with a notable penchant for coming back from behind — boasting a sensational 88% comeback rate. The time control may be fast, but Hasan’s tactical awareness never is. The secret sauce? An eye for openings such as the mysterious “Top Secret” and the spicy Sicilian Defense Open Accelerated Dragon Modern Variation, where they maintain a win rate north of 60% in bullet.
Despite the speed, Hasan doesn't rush to resign early (only about 1.8% early resignations!), savoring the endgame in nearly 80% of his matches. Moves per game hover around 80, so don’t expect blitz games to be short and sloppy here. Endurance and precision meet in the weird, wonderful world of Hasan’s play.
When is Hasan at their fiercest? Early mornings at 5 AM — the time most of us are snoozing — is when the brain truly buzzes. Just beware scheduling a match around then if you want to survive! Interestingly, Fridays and Mondays are not the best days to face Hasan, but Sundays have been their lucky charm.
Notable Stats
- Total Wins: 524 across bullet and blitz combined (with 500+ losses, because who’s perfect?)
- Longest Winning Streak: 17 games straight (chess or lucky streak?)
- Preferred Time Control: Blitz, because patience is overrated
- Favorite Openings: Top Secret (hush, hush!), Sicilian Defense (for a spicy battle) and French Defense (Chigorin variation for the flair)
