Rating Rollercoaster

Starting modestly with a Bullet rating of 327 in 2023, mossab skyrocketed to an impressive 872 by 2025, making bullet chess opponents tremble in their boots. Blitz ratings tell a similar story—from humble beginnings at 185 in early 2024 to a hefty 818 mid-2025, with a last recorded rating of 664, demonstrating consistency despite the chaos of rapid, frantic Blitz battles. Rapid chess, once a quiet forest of 100+ ratings in 2023, grew steadily into a wild jungle with highs near 639. Daily rated games? Let’s just say mossab played a bit more like a marathon runner than a sprinter there.

Though no one's perfect—there’s a healthy dose of losses and draws peppering the journey—the ever-resilient one has pulled off some impressive comebacks. Winning after losing a piece? 100% success rate. Talk about turning setbacks into stepping stones!

Style & Strategy

Known for a patient and thoughtful gameplay, mossab favors long battles. Expect endgames—because 63% of games stroll deep into that zone. Victory often crowns after about 60 moves, whether in triumph or defeat, hinting at a love for cerebral, tactical warfare instead of quick gambits.

Early resignations are rare—just over 6%—showing a tenacity that many grandmasters admire.

Rated games versus casual battles show a stark 48% difference in win rates, indicating serious competitive laser focus when stakes are high.
