Mohanad Hamad (Username: XSRDM)

Meet Mohanad Hamad, aka XSRDM, a chess player whose rating graph looks like a rollercoaster — thrilling, unpredictable, and occasionally looping into the abyss. Mohanad reached a peak rapid rating of 1449 in February 2023, proudly rocking the mid-1400s before taking a deep dive down to the 300s in 2025. But hey, every master was once a disaster in disguise!

Specializing mostly in Rapid games but dabbling in Blitz and Bullet, Mohanad’s playing style is a curious blend of daring attacks and timely resignations — with an "Early Resignation Rate" of 6%. Sometimes it's all about knowing when to fold ‘em, and Mohanad knows that well.

He’s had a love-hate relationship with the Queen’s Pawn Opening—with a solid 50% win rate—but seems to enjoy challenging fate with aggressive moves in the Petrovs Defense Three Knights Game, boasting a 66.67% win rate there. English Opening Symmetrical Variation? Also a favorite, undefeated in 3 games (2 wins, 1 draw). The Reti Opening? Well, let's say Mohanad prefers to keep Reti openings in the "to be avoided" pile, with zero wins in 3 attempts.

When it comes to opponents, he’s got a mixed bag. He’s undefeated against players like pacobey and shrithh, rubbing shoulders with a 100% win rate. On the other hand, players like damineomari and ortofox12 seem to inspire the opposite reaction, with 0% success there. Oh, the drama of chess rivalry!

Psychological factors? Mohanad’s tilt factor is a manageable 9 — enough frustration to keep things spicy but not enough to lose the plot. His peak chess hours agree: 2 PM sharp is when his brain clock strikes genius, clocking an impressive 100% win rate at hour 14 — the magic hour for making foes sigh.

His longest winning streak stands proudly at 3 games, while his nemesis — a 9-game losing streak — reminds him that even grandmasters started from somewhere. In chess, every loss is just a plot twist in the epic saga of XSRDM.

Mohanad prefers to end games decisively: he has 10 wins by checkmate and even a few wins by resignation from opponents smart enough to quit early. Also, stalemates aren’t his favorite outcomes — 4 draws from stalemate reflect those moments where no one really wins, but nobody loses either, just a diplomatic chess pat.

If you want to take on Mohanad, brace yourself for a game rich in strategy and surprises. From celebrated victories to humbling defeats, each game tells a story of resilience, growth, and the ever-enticing quest to checkmate life’s complexities one square at a time.

For a glimpse into his most recent heroic victory, check out his win against c1ph3r25 where Mohanad, playing Richter-Veresov Attack, claimed victory by resignation. A true testament to his tactical mind and unyielding spirit!

May the pawns be ever in your favor, Mohanad!
