Firelord aka cheeeks_21

Meet Firelord, also known in the chess realm as cheeeks_21, a fiery competitor whose rating journey reads like an epic saga — from humble beginnings at 222 in early 2024 to blazing peaks over 1034 in Rapid chess by August! With a style that’s as bold as their username, Firelord thrives mostly in Rapid and Daily formats but is no stranger to Bullet and Blitz battles.

Rating Highlights

• Rapid: Climbed from a modest 222 to a sizzling peak of 1034 in just eight months.
• Daily: A daily grind success story with a max of 1103 rating, proving patience pays off.
• Blitz & Bullet: Still sharpening tactical skills, peaking just shy of 500 and 490 respectively.

Game Stats & Style

Firelord has played hundreds of games in rapid formats alone, boasting a win rate comfortably above 50% with a total of 420 wins against 373 losses, sprinkled with a few draws to keep opponents guessing. The player’s resilience shines with a spectacular 77% comeback rate — when the chips are down, this chess warrior does not back down easily. However, even a Firelord can have a bad day, as seen in a record 14-game losing streak once, but hey, every phoenix needs its ashes!

Their average game length hovers around 59 moves whether winning or losing, hinting at a gritty, endgame-focused approach. Indeed, the endgame frequency tops at nearly 60%, which means Firelord enjoys the slow grind of squeezing out wins in tense finales. And, with a White win rate of almost 52%, holding the initiative is a favored path.

Favorite Openings

Scotch Game, Philidor Defense, and King’s Pawn Openings are the fiery battlegrounds Firelord chooses most often. The Scotchy Scotch Game, despite a challenging win rate under 41%, reveals a preference for complex positions and tactical melees. Meanwhile, the King’s Pawn Opening variations have a friendlier success rate near 55-58%, showing tactical flexibility and a knack for clawing out victories.

Recent Battles

From recent clashes, Firelord showed prowess with the Philidor Defense, securing victories by resignation and tactical pressure. Sometimes, the opponent just waves the white flag — or in chess speak, resigns — when Firelord’s on the attack. Not every day is a win though; like all mortals, they've tasted checkmate and swift defeat like in a game against kakke029, where Firelord succumbed spectacularly to a neat mating net. But it’s all part of the fiery forge that shapes a true chess competitor.

Off the Board

Interestingly, Firelord’s best magic hour is 1 AM — the hour when many sleep, but this player sharpens the claws. With a tilt factor of 14, occasional frustration visits, but no flame lasts forever. The player’s oh-so-slightly better results versus weaker opponents show humility and a willingness to tussle with the best.

In Summary

Firelord is a rapidly rising force, who might yet shoot through the ranks and set the chess world ablaze. Intelligent, persistent, occasionally fiery in temperament, and always entertaining to watch. Whether you’re a fan, a rival, or just a passerby, watching Firelord play is like watching a dragon breathe tactical fire on the 64 squares — unpredictable, thrilling, and never boring.

Keep an eye on cheeeks_21 — because their next move could be checkmate, or just a spectacular flame-out. Either way, it’s guaranteed to be epic.
