Muhammet Ahmetoğlu (Username: vodemha89)
Muhammet Ahmetoğlu, known online as vodemha89, is a chess enthusiast with a flair for the blitz battlefield and a knack for tactical skirmishes. With a peak blitz rating flirting just below the 1000-mark (996 in April 2023) and a rapid rating zenith of 1055 in October 2022, Muhammet is proof that chess is as much about perseverance as it is about puzzles.
Playing Style & Personality
Muhammet approaches the game with a balanced mix of patience and aggression. Averaging about 53 moves per win, he enjoys the long haul but isn't afraid to clinch victory early by resignation—his early resignation rate is a modest 4.8%, so he knows when to bow out gracefully and when to throw down the gauntlet. A true tactician, his comeback rate of 71.43% shows he's no stranger to turning the tables, though losing a piece can still be a slight setback with a 43.24% win rate in those situations.
Endgames are definitely his playground, with nearly half (49.69%) of his games reaching that fascinating phase. Despite occasional tilt (11 on the tilt factor scale), Muhammet's best time to unleash chess wizardry is around 1 AM — proving that for some of us, nocturnal brilliance is real!
Performance Highlights
- Blitz: Over 2,880 games with almost an equal number of wins (1397) and losses (1387), and a sprinkle of 99 draws. He’s battled opponents repeatedly and holds a roughly 48% win rate with his “Top Secret” opening strategy.
- Rapid: More steady with 724 wins and 736 losses across more than 1,500 games, showing consistent competitive spirit.
- Opening Repertoire: Muhammet experiments with a wide range of openings but boasts a notable 62.5% win rate with the Englund Gambit in blitz games—certainly a gambit bold enough for a player with guts!

He’s proven he can handle openings from the tried-and-true Ruy Lopez to the feisty Scandinavian, all with a swagger only true chess warriors possess.
Fun Facts
