Chess Odyssey & Style
Tareq plays a fiercely competitive Rapid format, boasting almost as many wins as losses (158 wins to 156 losses) and a proud collection of 33 draws — because even warriors know when to pause and reflect.

Losing a piece doesn’t faze him much — he still manages to convert in over a third of such games.
