Profile Summary: anthonyy_federico
Meet anthonyy_federico, the chess enthusiast who started from humble beginnings with a Rapid rating bouncing between 192 and 467 in early 2023, and has since dramatically climbed the ranks to a peak elo north of 1180 by January 2025. His journey is a testament to perseverance, probably fueled by equal parts coffee and determination.
Known for a steady and strategic approach, anthonyy_federico favors the Pirc Defense Classical Variation in Rapid games, wielding it in nearly 1900 battles with a commendable 50% win rate – essentially flipping the board's fate one calculated move at a time. Not just a one-trick pony, he’s also dabbled in openings like the Sicilian and the Scandinavian with mixed but spirited results.
His playing style? Well, he usually ends games by resignation, claiming victory more than a thousand times, but don't mistake him for a quitter – with an endgame frequency over 60%, he's got the stamina of a marathon runner, grinding down opponents in long strategic duels averaging about 60 moves per win. On rare occasions, he even pulls off comebacks when the odds aren’t in his favor, boasting a clutch comeback rate of 75%.
When it comes to speed-chess (Blitz and Bullet), anthonyy_federico handles the pressure with impressive agility, having peaked near 900 in Blitz and mid-800s in Bullet ratings. Sure, he sometimes tilts (a modest 9 tilt factor), but who doesn’t when their bishop mysteriously disappears? His best hours to play are around 13:00 and 19:00, so if you see him online then, prepare for a fiery match.
His recent games show he's no stranger to delivering checkmates with flair, often capitalizing on the Pirc Defense to overwhelm opponents creatively. Though he’s suffered losses (nobody’s perfect – except maybe his opening choices), each defeat only sharpens his resolve with a tactical awareness that keeps opponents guessing.
Off the board, anthonyy_federico is presumably the kind of player who laughs at their own blunders, sips tea with the calm of a zen master, and casually plots the next queen sacrifice—because in chess, as in life, fortune favors the bold…and the well-prepared.
Challenge anthonyy_federico if you dare; just be warned, he’s been known to turn a tense stalemate into a dazzling checkmate before his opponents can say "en passant".
