Ferenc Arnold, Known Online as feca71
Ferenc Arnold, who played online under the username feca71, built a formidable chess presence through a remarkable volume of fast games. His preferred battlefield was Blitz, where quick decisions, sharp instincts, and the occasional suspiciously optimistic pawn push all mattered.
A Fast and Fearless Competitor
Across the recorded games, feca71 collected 713 Blitz wins, 706 losses, and 188 draws. The nearly even record reflects an adventurous player who was happy to take risks rather than spend half the clock deciding whether a knight belonged on f3 or somewhere more fashionable.
The data also highlights strong resilience. Ferenc recorded a 25-game winning streak and a comeback rate of 75.94 percent, suggesting that a bad position was not necessarily a finished position. It may simply have been the opening act.
Opening Identity
Ferenc frequently began games with d4, favoring structured positions that could still become wonderfully chaotic. The Modern Defense and Czech Defense appeared often in the repertoire, while the London family of positions was also a recurring choice.
As White, the profile was especially comfortable in familiar positional setups, but the statistics show a willingness to explore unusual systems as well. That combination of preparation and curiosity made feca71 difficult to stereotype, which is inconvenient for anyone trying to prepare a neat opening file.
Style at the Board
The numbers describe a player who often reached the endgame, with endgames appearing in 88.86 percent of recorded games. Ferenc delivered the first check in 56.69 percent of games, and the rook was the most common checking piece. In other words, the rooks were not merely waiting politely on the back rank.
Ferenc also showed a strong ability to keep fighting after losing material, winning 41.22 percent of games after dropping a piece. The profile's best recorded time of day was 09:00, perhaps proving that tactical alertness arrives early, before the coffee has had time to object.
Notable Rivalries
One of Ferenc's most frequent opponents was Polymath_man, against whom feca71 recorded 67 wins, 56 losses, and 8 draws across 131 games. That rivalry alone represents a substantial chapter in the player’s online chess story.
Legacy of the Profile
With thousands of rapid-fire games, a clear preference for Blitz, persistent endgame play, and an impressive appetite for comebacks, Ferenc Arnold emerges as a determined online competitor. The record is not about quiet accumulation. It is about showing up, playing another game, and giving the position one more chance to become interesting.
