Known in the chess realms by the username YousefZsc, Yousef Zayed is a player who proves that steady perseverance beats flashy moves every time. His journey through the ranks from 2021 to 2025 reads like an epic saga of dedication, tactical comebacks, and the occasional hair-pulling setback.
With a peak rapid rating flirting just above 1570 in 2023, Yousef has exhibited commendable growth from a modest 1065 in 2021. His blitz and bullet ratings, reaching over 1200 and 1080 respectively at their peaks, highlight his versatility across time controls—though it’s clear he finds a cozy home in the longer formats.
Yousef's games tend to be long affairs, with an average of about 70 moves to win and almost 76 moves to lose, suggesting battles that would give even the mightiest warriors some sore fingers. But when he wins, he often does so convincingly, boasting an impressive 82% comeback rate—meaning if things start going south, don't count him out just yet!

Talk about making lemonade when life offers you lemons or, more accurately, when the queen is taken early!
His playing style favors the endgames, showing up in about 74% of his matches, indicating a patient strategist who thrives when most players are ready to call it a day. At the days and hours he plays his best, Yousef shines brightest late at night and early morning—perhaps powered by midnight snacks and endless cups of coffee.
While Yousef’s opening repertoire remains a Top Secret (quite literally from his stats!), his steady improvement and resilience have earned him notable victories against a wide range of opponents. His longest winning streak is a mighty 13 games, a testament to his grit and determination—because even chess gods must start somewhere.
