Anton Frank - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Meet Anton Frank, or as they are known in the online chess realm, "antonusss" – a Candidate Master recognized by FIDE whose game speaks as loudly as their username's triple 's' might suggest speed and style.
From Pawn to Master
Anton’s journey through the ranks is nothing short of a rollercoaster: climbing from bullet ratings around 1600 in early 2021 to a blistering peak of 2595 in March 2025. Their blitz and rapid performances echo similar brilliance, peaking at 2484 and 2281 respectively, making it clear that whether it's a lightning-fast bullet game or a strategic rapid duel, Anton brings the heat.
The Style and The Substance
With an impressive endgame frequency of over 75%, Anton isn’t just about quick wins - they love a good fight to the bitter end, averaging nearly 75 moves per win. Their resilience shows in a stunning nearly 79% comeback rate – because giving up just isn’t in their vocabulary. And if you thought they panic under pressure, think again: one-sided losses are a mere 4.28% of the time.
Favorites & Foes
The "Top Secret" opening (we're guessing Anton’s preferred bag of surprises) dominates their repertoire, with nearly 10,000 bullet games played under this enigmatic banner. Not far behind are staples like the Indian Game and the London System, with some top-notch 100% win performances on rare but fierce openings like the Alekhine's Defense Normal Variation.
Anton’s list of most-played opponents includes some familiar usernames like julost and gusber1, but beware: Anton has undefeated perfect win rates against an impressive array of opponents – some even fear the triple 's'!
Not all Knights are Born Equal
Psychologically, Anton has a tilt factor of 18, which means they probably mutter some creative phrases when losing but bounce back soon after. The prime time to catch this player in top form? 9 AM – morning coffee and a killer attack seem to be the right combo.
Recent Battles and Memorable Moments
In a recent thrilling bullet clash, Anton outlasted SadigMammadov_003 on time control with clever moves and a knightly finesse that would make Lancelot envious. Not all fights end happily, of course – losses like the one against Nouali_Mohamed remind us Anton is human (though sometimes it may feel like a Grandmaster).
In Their Own Words… If Anton Were to Write a Bio
"Chess is not just a game, it’s an expedition of neurons. Sometimes I win on time, sometimes I win by cunning, and sometimes I just lose gracefully – but I always come back swinging. You can call me the Candidate Master with Candidate Moves and Masterful Blunders."
Whether you face Antonusss across the board or just marvel from the sidelines, one thing is certain: this Candidate Master knows how to make the chess clock tick a little faster and the audience sit a little straighter.
