Profile Summary: farfo

Meet farfo, a blitz warrior of the chessboard whose rating journey resembles a rollercoaster with more thrilling peaks than dips — peaking impressively at 2221 in August 2023! Since 2014, farfo has battled through thousands of games, exhibiting resilience, tactical ingenuity, and a flair for dramatic comebacks (with a breathtaking 83.5% comeback rate).

Known for a versatile opening repertoire, farfo has dabbed in everything from the gritty Modern Defense (over 2800 games!) to the fiery King’s Indian Defense, with the latter boasting a hearty 52% win rate. While sometimes the Modern Defense doesn't behave (with a win rate just shy of 48%), our protagonist still wields it fearlessly, proving bravery often beats statistics.

Strategy-wise, farfo prefers to take the scenic route: averaging nearly 68 moves per win and about 74 moves per loss, showing dedication to the endgame and messy, lingering battles. Speaking of endgames, over 80% of their games venture into the late stages, a testament to gritty endurance and love of complexity.

Beware opponents: farfo occasionally tilts (~16% tilt factor), but their psychological resilience shines through with a remarkable 46% win rate after losing a piece. Losses happen, but they seem to fuel farfo's fighting spirit rather than dim it.

This player’s best zone? The 1 PM hour, when blitz blades are sharpest and quick strikes land just right. Farfo enjoys a slight edge as the underdog, winning nearly two-thirds of games against higher-rated opponents, showing heart and hustle.

Not one to quit early, farfo’s early resignation rate is impressively low at 0.59%, preferring to duke it out to the bitter end (or until the clock runs out!). Indeed, farfo’s favorite endings include winning by resignation after almost 7,400 times and striking checkmates with flair.

Fun fact: Despite a near-even win/loss record in blitz (15,026 wins to 15,189 losses), farfo keeps the game exciting with hardly any draws — because who wants to settle for 'almost'?

Recent games? Farfo just clinched a thrilling victory over Slametsapujagad by clock, showcasing nerves of steel and solid defensive skills. However, like every human (or human-like chess bot), there are occasional setbacks; a recent loss by resignation to JarnoB reminds us even the greats stumble.

In summary, farfo is a tenacious, strategic, and psychologically savvy blitz player — who perhaps needs to remember not to blame the pawns when the bishop sneaks by. One thing’s for sure: this player’s journey through the ranks is nothing short of legendary.
