Fatarkhan: The Rapid Roller Coaster

Meet Fatarkhan, a player whose rapid chess journey is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster ride. With a peak rapid rating of 572 achieved in May 2023, Fatarkhan has shown flashes of brilliance—especially when playing around noon, their top time to strike on the 64 squares.

While the win/loss record might tell a tale of hardship (1 win against 9 losses), it also speaks of perseverance — a 100% comeback rate after losing a piece means quitting is not in their vocabulary (for the most part: a 22% early resignation rate keeps opponents on their toes). Fatarkhan's style leans heavily on the endgame with 70% endgame frequency, suggesting a player who loves the long haul.

Their sole documented victory came from a carefully fought Portuguese Opening battle versus CamdenB73, ending in a classy resignation after 35 moves. It's a masterpiece of patience: averaging 70 moves per win, proving that every pawn and piece can turn the tide.

Though the black pieces bring less fortune, with no wins on record, the white side offers a 33% win rate—a small but shining light. Fatarkhan's favorite opponents seem elusive with zero wins against the most encountered rivals, except a perfect score against a solitary CamdenB73.

A psychological tilt factor of 9 might suggest there’s some fiery passion bubbling beneath those moves, but fatigue doesn’t get the upper hand for long. Known for dropping into time pressure trouble occasionally (3 losses by timeout), Fatarkhan seems to be learning that chess clocks wait for no one.

In all, Fatarkhan remains a gallant warrior of the rapid chess battlefield — less about trophies and more about stories, struggles, and that glorious single win that fuels the passion for just one more game.

Chess is not always about winning—sometimes it’s about making every move count. Fatarkhan lives that spirit.
