Profile Summary: Youssef_El_Sheikh
Meet Youssef_El_Sheikh, a chess warrior whose journey through the battlefield of pawns and knights is as fascinating as it is unpredictable. With a max rapid rating touching 1502 in 2024, Youssef has shown moments of brilliance, especially in rapid chess, where he’s almost always ready to spring that "top secret" opening surprise after nearly 2,000 games. Clearly, practice does make perfect... or at least, very entertaining!
Youssef's playing style is a curious mix of cautious resilience and some “Why not?” gambits. His average games last around 66 moves when he wins—long, thoughtful duels—while losses cut a bit shorter around 55 moves. This indicates a player who fights hard until the bitter end, with an impressive comeback rate of 77.65%. If you manage to snag a piece from him, expect to pay dearly: his win rate after losing material is a perfect 100%, proving he’s the ultimate underdog champion.
Not just a rapid aficionado, Youssef tries his hand at blitz and bullet with varied success—his bullet max rating peaks at 1452, but watch out! His bullet win rate dips around 35%, hinting he might sometimes prefer thoughtful strategy over sheer speed. And hey, who doesn’t love a good nail-biter? His longest winning streak of 10 shows that when the stars align, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Psychological warfare? Youssef keeps it mostly cool with a tilt factor of 13, but like all great humans, he’s not immune to the occasional frustration. His early resignation rate is a humble 1.76%, proof that he’s a fighter to the very last square. Gameplay is not just about skill, but also about timing, and Youssef shines brightest during afternoon hours (peaking at 14:00 with a 53% win rate) and the mysterious "witching hour" of 0:00, where his wins sneak above 54%.
His White pieces tend to have a slight edge with a 47.05% win rate, but don’t discount his Blackside valor at 44.36% wins. Youssef's opponents should beware: he's undefeated after losing a piece, boasting a 100% comeback victory rate — sheer determination or some ninja-level tactical wizardry? We’ll let the pawns do the talking.
Off the board, Youssef_El_Sheikh might just be the chess player to root for when the game gets tough and the clock is ticking down. Whether you face him in rapid or bullet, be prepared for a battle of wits, willpower, and a dash of "Did they just resign?" moments.
