Meet Fh2411

Le Thao Nguyen Pham, better known on the clock as Fh2411, is an International Master with a love affair with fast chess. They first appeared in 2014 with a single game, then apparently decided that one game was insufficient. Today, Pham owns one of the busier Blitz scorecards you will find, complete with a peak Blitz rating of 2846 (2026-07-23).

The Blitz Machine

Make no mistake: Pham's preferred time control is Blitz. Over 3,900 rated games have been played in that format alone, roughly split between wins and losses with a few peaceful draws sprinkled in. The rating journey has been more like a roller coaster than a gentle escalator, as the chart below shows.

Pham's style is stubborn in the best way. They reach the endgame in about 91% of their recorded games, rarely resign early, and when they drop a piece they still manage to win more than 43% of the time. Comeback rate? Nearly 85%. The board is not over until Pham says it is over.

Opening Buffet

With the white pieces, Pham is a devotee of the London System, often venturing into its sharpest poisoned pawn lines. With Black, the Caro-Kann Defense is the regular fallback, although the exchange variations have caused occasional heartbreak. The opening performance chart distills thousands of games into a splash of colors and a few warning signals.

The Rivalry File

No profile would be complete without mentioning witchcraft82, the opponent Pham has faced more than anyone else. It has been a tough fixture: 42 games, and witchcraft82 usually takes the spoils. Pham has still grabbed 12 wins, which is the kind of stubbornness that defines their approach to the whole server.

Fun With Numbers

  • Longest winning streak: 17 games. Longest losing streak: 11 games. Both will happen if you play enough Blitz.
  • Pham is far more dangerous when the clock says 4 a.m., at least statistically.
  • Early resignations barely exist in Pham's vocabulary; they see the endgame coming and they meet it head-on.
