Meet Tarig Mosa
Tarig Mosa, known online as tarigmosa, is the kind of player who turns grind sessions into art. He joined the digital arena in 2013 and has racked up well over twenty thousand rated games since. He loves to attack, refuses to coast, and has one of the lowest draw rates you will ever see from a player at his mileage. When he has enough time to think, he prefers Rapid results, so expect his sharpest ideas when the clock gives him a little room to breathe.
Fighting with e4
Tarig is an e4 loyalist. His repertoire is built on classic sharp lines: the Scandinavian Defense, French Defense, Scotch Game and Alekhine Defense all show up with hundreds of appearances. He posts fiery White numbers in the Czech Defense and Scandinavian Defense, while as Black he often finds safety in French structures or striking back in Italian-esque fights. The board tends to heat up and the capture often happens from early at move 6 by his data.
Rivalries and endless rematches
Around the server, Tarig defines loyalty in rematches. Most common on his list: Atif Mhjop Ilhssan appears at the top, with over a thousand head-to-head battles. Next is Abdelazeez Mohamed 12202576, a nearly even rival, and Abubaker Tagelsir, another frequent exchange. Expect each meeting to be a little less friendly and a lot more open.
Clutch genes
Numbers can be fun, but they can also tell a story about fight. Tarim has won 31 games straight at his best, while also being willing to ride out a 14-game losing streak. He comebacks from losing positions in better than 83% of his tracked games, and he still wins around 50% of games after losing a piece. In short, almost no one is able to score a quick kill. He likes Sunday? Actually he performs better at 17:00 or noon.
- Longest winning streak: 31 games
- Longest losing streak: 14 games
- Comeback rate after falling behind: 83.7%
- Almost no draws in long-term Blitz, less than 10% of his games end peacefully.
