Meet finalflash2022, a relentless chess warrior navigating the 64 squares with a mix of tactical flair and admirable resilience. While not yet a grandmaster on the rise, finalflash2022 showcases a persistent spirit and a rollercoaster rating history that tells tales of gritty comebacks, epic battles, and some bruising losses along the way.

Rating Journey & Playstyle

Starting their recorded journey with a rapid rating around 975 back in 2022, finalflash2022's rapid rating peaked at a respectable 1122 in August 2022. After some ups and downs that would make any soap opera jealous, they have climbed back impressively to hover around 1091 by May 2025. Rapid games seem to be their fortress, boasting a roughly balanced win/loss record (66 wins, 62 losses, 4 draws) and a penchant for longer endgames, averaging over 51 moves per game — so patience is clearly a virtue here.

Their blitz and bullet ratings show a more tumultuous path, fluctuating wildly — it appears lightning-fast time controls are a bit of a wild west for finalflash2022, yet they still manage to snatch some impressive wins (peak blitz at 593 and bullet at 976!). Daily chess also features in their repertoire, albeit with a modest record.

Tactics and Quirks

With a comeback rate of over 63%, finalflash2022 is clearly no quitter — even after losing pieces, they fight on with nearly 40% win rate. But watch out: their early resignation rate sits at 19%, so sometimes if the position looks grim, they aren’t afraid to save some time for the next battle. Plus, their tilt factor is low (around 10), meaning losses rarely ruffle their feathers for too long (or so we hope!).

Black pieces tend to bring out their best, scoring over 52% wins, while playing White sees a slightly tougher battleground with only 38% winning rate. Perhaps the queen’s gambit to playing black is their secret weapon!

Favorite Openings (and Not-So-Favorites)

Italian Game and Petrovs Defense Classical Variation are amongst the successful bread-and-butter openings in rapid games, with win rates above 60%. On the flip side, the mysterious "Top Secret" opening (a.k.a. the risky gambit) has been more foe than friend, securing only a 16.7% win rate — better keep that under wraps!

Peak Performances & Memorable Moments

• Rapid Peak Rating: 1122 (August 2022)
• Blitz Peak Rating: 593 (November 2024)
• Bullet Peak Rating: 976 (February 2023)

Recent Battles

Among their latest triumphs, a gritty victory on the black side of a Ruy Lopez variation by resignation shines bright — tech-savvy and patient, finalflash2022 patiently outmaneuvered their opponent over an intense midgame skirmish lasting 48 moves. The fight was so intense, the opponent couldn’t even muster a last draw!

Of course, not every encounter ends in glory. Recent losses often involved time pressures or well-executed checkmates by opponents exploiting openings like the Philidor Defense or Berlin Defense. But as every great chess tale goes, a loss is just another chapter, not the end of the story.

Psychology & Playing Times

Though finalflash2022 performs well at many hours, their absolute sweet spot is around 11 PM where their win rate spikes to almost 79% — so if you want a chance against them, maybe challenge a bit earlier!

Weekends and midweek Wednesdays seem to be their strongest days, with over 50% win rates, while Tuesdays and Fridays are more challenging.

In Summary

finalflash2022 is that friend who refuses to give up, who keeps returning to the battlefield with new strategies, a stubborn streak, and an amusingly unpredictable record—sometimes dazzling, sometimes a bit dicey, but always entertaining to watch. Whether it's a rapid slugfest or a bullet bulletstorm, they bring heart and humor to the chessboard.

Stay tuned and maybe join them in a game — just beware their knack for the Italian Game and their mysterious "Top Secret" opening!
