Fatma Arslan: The Chessboard's Dauntless Duelist
Meet Fatma Arslan, known in the online chess arena as 17fatma, a player whose journey through the ranks has been as intriguing as a well-timed queen sacrifice. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 1188 in May 2019 and an impressive blitz peak at 1185, Fatma isn't just playing pieces – they're crafting stories one checkmate at a time.
Fatma's style? Well, it's a cocktail of patience and boldness. With an average game of nearly 54 moves on wins and a penchant for gritty endgames (occurring in almost 64% of their games), it’s clear that giving up isn’t in Fatma’s vocabulary. Even when the going gets tough, Fatma's comeback rate dazzles at a striking 74%—a testament to their resilience and tactical awareness.
Though Fatma shines brightest with the white pieces, boasting a white win rate close to 50%, they've never shied away from the challenges black brings either. Their psychological resilience is notable too, with a low tilt factor of 11, proving that losing a bishop or a pawn is just another opportunity for a comeback rather than a crisis.
