Franklin Esquivia - FIDE Master

Franklin Esquivia, proudly holding the title of FIDE Master, is a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of a thrilling tale. Known in the circles as "Esquivia," this player has danced gracefully between Blitz and Bullet time controls, amassing a respectable rating peak of 2466 in Bullet chess by 2020.

Esquivia's style can best be described as both resilient and tactical: boasting a remarkable 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving that giving up early is simply not in their vocabulary. With over 80% frequency in endgames and an average game length hovering around 77 moves in wins, Franklin clearly enjoys the long strategic battles as much as the fast-paced fireworks.

Fans might chuckle at the psychological quirks of this player – a tilt factor of 7 suggests Esquivia has emotions, but wow, what a comeback artist! With a comeback rate close to 90%, losing a piece or position is just a plot twist in their story, never the end. When it comes to opening knowledge, the "Top Secret" repertoire has served well with a steady 50-53% win rate, ensuring surprises and victories alike.

Esquivia's track record on various opponents shows an eclectic mix – certain rivals are like Kryptonite (like thenewfiredragon, with a 0% win rate), while others have fallen prey to Esquivia's sharp tactical mind repeatedly (looking at you, papaiedudu at a flawless 100%). This dynamic has made Esquivia's matches a rollercoaster for onlookers.

And who could ignore the timing? Monday is the day of power for Esquivia, clocking a robust 75% win rate, an ideal way to kick off the week with mental fireworks. Even late-night chess is not a problem – the 21:00 hour is their "peak puzzle solving hour" sitting at 68%.

While Franklin may sometimes lose as often as they win in Blitz (exactly half and half), in Bullet, the victories have a slight edge (140 wins vs 118 losses), showing nerves of steel when the clock ticks faster than thoughts.

In sum, Franklin Esquivia is the epitome of a thoughtful, persistent, and occasionally humorous chess warrior, always ready to transform a dire position into a winning tale. The chessboard knows no dull moments when this FIDE Master is involved.
