Fırat Akıcı - The Chess Enthusiast (aka annenc231)

Meet Fırat Akıcı, a player whose chess journey is as dynamic as his rating fluctuations! Known online as annenc231, Fırat has battled on the 64 squares with a fighting spirit that never quits — except maybe when resigning early, which he does only about 3.3% of the time. Mostly, he’s in it for the long haul, with an average of around 66 moves per game whether he wins or loses, proving that giving up quickly isn't in his nature.

Rating Rollercoaster

Over 2021 and 2022, Fırat's blitz and rapid ratings saw some ups and downs — his blitz rating started strong at 853 in early 2021, despite some dips to 445, ultimately resting around 632 by 2022. Meanwhile, his rapid rating peaked near 877 in 2021, showcasing his knack for speedier games. His blitz and rapid styles both have their charm, with win rates hovering in the mid-40%s, showing he’s a balanced threat whether playing fast or a bit slower.

Players Beware!

Fırat has tangled with many foes online, racking up wins, losses, and draws with nearly equal flair. Interestingly, some opponents have found no luck against him – anyone facing "alainluisa" or "2_papi" has felt his winning touch 100% of the time! But against others like "ilyasik_14" or "otiuqol", he’s still hunting for that first win. His longest winning streak? An impressive 7 games, showing he can channel his inner grandmaster streak every now and then.

When Does Fırat Play Best?

If you want to challenge him, pick a Wednesday, 11 AM, or 21 PM — those are his peak times with win rates soaring up to 76%! But be warned, 1 AM might not be his prime hour, with a 0% win rate as he possibly battles the post-midnight yawns.

Style and Strategy

Known for a high comeback rate of over 76% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Fırat thrives in chaos and seldom gives up when down material. With an endgame frequency above 72%, he's clearly comfortable navigating the battlefield till the bitter end.

Psychological Notes

Despite an 8/10 tilt factor, indicating he might occasionally feel the heat (or the coffee shortage), he manages to flip the script with a nearly 45% better chance to win rated games over casual ones — a sign that under pressure, annenc231 shines even brighter.

In summary, Fırat Akıcı isn’t just a chess player; he’s a passionate competitor who’s not afraid to grind through complex endgames and fight till the final move. Whether you're a casual opponent or a seasoned strategist, expect a fierce, tactical battle filled with surprising comebacks, occasional blunders, and plenty of memorable moments on the chessboard.
