Meet fiorathefirst, a chess adventurer boldly navigating the battlefield one move at a time, with a rating journey that’s more rollercoaster than express elevator. Debuting in early 2025, this player’s peak Daily rating hit a modest but respectable 551, while their Rapid games reached a high of 637 — impressive for a strategist who embraces the unpredictability of the game.

Don't be fooled by the stats alone. With a win rate hovering just under 18% in Rapid and about 0% in Daily, fiorathefirst is a fighter who knows the sting of defeat well — currently enduring a seven-game losing streak. Yet, a determined spirit shines through in the remarkable 66.67% comeback rate, proving that giving up is not on their agenda.

Known for wielding the Top Secret opening—a mysterious choice that seems befitting of their chess alias—this player has yet to net a win in that line in Daily games but managed to pull three wins out of 17 in Rapid contests.

Style-wise, fiorathefirst exhibits a touch of humility and humor by resigning early nearly 30% of their losses. That’s not just surrender, but a strategic retreat in the face of overwhelming odds (or maybe just to save time for a rematch). Matches typically last about 30 moves, signaling a willingness to stick around for a good tussle, whether it ends in victory or a learning experience.

As for their psychological battlefield, a tilt factor of 7 hints at some occasional frustration, but also a sharp awareness of the game’s emotional demands. Their best hour for chess wizardry is around 5 PM, a proven sweet spot when the tactical muse strikes.

When playing against opponents rated lower, fiorathefirst dominates with a perfect 100% win record, showing that confidence and victory definitely go hand in hand when the odds are slightly tilted. Against more skilled foes, however, the challenges grow steep, with no wins against above-rated players so far — but hey, every grandmaster started just like this!

Memorable Moments:

• Last win: A slick checkmate victory using the Queen’s Pawn Opening Levitsky Attack (score: 408 elo versus 321) – checkmate is always sweeter when it sneaks up unexpectedly.
• Last loss: A tough resignation against AlessandroIn in the King's Gambit Accepted, proving every game is a story, sometimes tragic, sometimes triumphant.

Whether fiorathefirst is plotting their next cunning comeback or simply enjoying the rich tapestry of gambits, sacrifices, and blunders, one thing is clear: this player takes chess seriously, but not always themselves — after all, the greatest game is as much about fun as it is about strategy.

In the words of fiorathefirst: “If you’re not occasionally losing spectacularly, are you even playing chess?”
