Franco Trabattoni - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Franco Trabattoni, the chess player who doesn’t just play the game — he practically dances with pieces on the board. Awarded the prestigious title of FIDE Master, Franco’s blitz games have been a whirlwind of strategy, speed, and a sprinkle of (sometimes surprising) luck since 2009.
With a peak blitz rating soaring up to an impressive 2381 in 2024, Franco has engaged in over 26,000 blitz wins, proving time and again that quick thinking is his second nature. His love for rapid and bullet chess might be less documented, but make no mistake, when it comes to blitz, this master is a force to be reckoned with.
Known for an exceptional comeback rate of nearly 89% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Franco’s psychological resilience is as noteworthy as his technical prowess. Those who manage to capture a piece from Franco soon realize they’ve only ignited the fires of a fierce counterattack!
Despite a rather modest tilt factor of 13, Franco’s gameplay stays steady and focused, with average winning games spanning around 72 moves — a testimony to his strategic endurance. Early resignation? Only about 3% of the time, proving that surrender is for the faint-hearted.
Outside the board, Franco’s win rates by day and hour suggest he’s probably a night owl who thrives best in the calm hours of early morning — except when blitz demands lightning-fast decisions at any hour.
Whether facing familiar names or fresh opponents, Franco’s armory of secret openings keeps challengers on their toes, maintaining a winning rate above 56% overall in blitz — not too shabby for someone with a penchant for “Top Secret” moves!
So if you ever wonder what it's like to tango with a chess master who combines tactical brilliance with gritty determination and a dash of humor, look no further than Franco Trabattoni. Just remember: take his pieces at your own peril!
