Fabian Cardozo (aka CluckFC)
Fabian Cardozo is a blitz and bullet chess enthusiast who clearly knows how to keep his cool—he boasts a staggering 88.2% comeback rate, proving that even when the chips are down, Fabian refuses to let the queen slip away quietly! Starting in 2020 at a modest blitz rating of 939, Fabian soared to a high of 1959 by 2021, demonstrating rapid growth and dedication that many grandmasters would envy.
Known by his enigmatic username CluckFC, Fabian has undefeated streaks that would make chickens blush—never losing a single game out of 13 in 2020 blitz, and a longest winning streak of 14 games. Talk about clucking domination!
When it comes to openings, Fabian prefers to keep strategies under wraps—his "Top Secret" opening performance is impressive, winning over 52% of his blitz games and an astonishing 71% in bullet chess. His positional play often stretches long into the night, averaging about 78 moves in wins and rarely resigning early (just about 1% early resignation rate).
Fabian's style is one for the marathon, not the sprint. His high endgame frequency (nearly 80% of games) shows he enjoys a good battle across the board, savoring every move before sealing the deal. With his white pieces, he happily carries a slight edge (winning 54.8% of games), but he's no slouch with black either.
Psychologically, Fabian's tilt factor is low—just 8—showing a relaxed mind even under pressure, though he does have that cheeky double-edged timing where he struggles a bit around 10 AM with a 9% win rate (coffee needed?). Surprisingly, he shines late at night—the 11 PM hour sees him winning all his games, possibly inspired by midnight snacks and moonlight inspiration.
He has a curious record against opponents, with some players seeing a perfect 100% win rate and others making Fabian’s chessboard sweat. But whatever the odds, Fabian plays every single game with passion and a sprinkle of humor, proving chess is as much a mental sport as it is a game of wit and patience.
With over 700 blitz games and a solid bullet track record, Fabian Cardozo continues to surprise and entertain the chess community — one opening, one tactical trick, and one epic comeback at a time. Keep an eye on CluckFC, because this chess player is just getting started!
