Between jobs he wanders to a café near the ruins for slow, careful chess, treating the board the way he treats a damaged panel: one stone at a time, no hurry.

He has a solid feel for the basics and can calculate a few moves ahead, but he has never studied theory in any deep way.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"What opening does Mounir play?","Mounir has no fixed opening repertoire on file. He plays by feel rather than from memorized lines, picking setups at the board the way he picks stones from his tray, so expect variation rather than a signature system.",{"question":22,"answer":23},"How can intermediate players use Mounir to improve?","Intermediate players around 1500 to 1800 can use Mounir to practice handling tense, unsimplified positions, since he resists trades and keeps pieces on the board. His aggressive bent forces defenders to calculate accurately move by move, and his lack of deep theory means games are decided by middlegame understanding rather than memorized lines.","Shwaya shwaya — even Carthage was built one tessera at a time.","male","Ahla, ya sidi.
