Ferenc Pasztor (Username: Csipi) - FIDE Master
Ferenc Pasztor, affectionately known in the chess world as Csipi, is a seasoned FIDE Master who has danced across the battlefield of 64 squares with remarkable tenacity and flair. Whether blitzing through rapid-fire games or engaging in the slower, more contemplative modes, Csipi demonstrates a passion for chess that is as fierce as a Sicilian Dragon and as unpredictable as a Queen’s Gambit declined.
Rising Through the Ranks
Starting from a modest blitz rating near 1200 in 2011, Ferenc has steadily improved over the years, reaching a peak blitz rating soaring above 2300 — enough to make opponents think twice before challenging this tactician. Csipi’s rapid and bullet ratings have also seen spells of brilliance, proving that quick thinking is just as comfortable as deep strategy in their repertoire.
Playing Style
Csipi is the embodiment of endurance on the board, often pushing games deep into the endgame with an impressive 86% endgame frequency. Moves come in long sequences, averaging about 75 moves in victory (and slightly more during losses – perhaps a sign of dogged determination or a stubborn love for the game). With a win rate slightly higher when playing White, Csipi embraces the classical spirit of chess — keep calm, control the center, and win on the batteries.
Tactical Wizardry & Psychological Resilience
One of Csipi’s most awe-inspiring traits is a nearly 90% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece – a clear signal that giving up is not in their vocabulary. A tilt factor of 14 shows some frustration under pressure (hey, nobody’s perfect), but overall, a master of mental recovery and focus. Early resignations are rare, for Csipi is a fighter to the last pawn.
Competitive Highlights
With more than 15,000 wins in blitz alone, Csipi’s experience speaks volumes. A longest winning streak of 25 games may or may not involve some lucky pawns — chess mysteries abound! Fate and skill have combined to create a player whose presence in a tournament keeps the tension high and the spectators guessing.
Chess Life Beyond the Board
Csipi’s favorite openings are still “Top Secret” — probably involving a secret move or two that keeps the competition on their toes. Whether it’s hunting down opponents like “rrufeja” or outsmarting new challengers, Ferenc’s journey is vivid proof that chess is as much about personality as it is about pieces.
In short, Ferenc Pasztor is more than a FIDE Master; Csipi is a chess enthusiast who blends skill, humour, and persistence into an unforgettable playing style – a true knight on and off the board.
