Fir3norm: The Firestarter of the Chessboard

In the realm of rapid chess, Fir3norm is a player whose rating graph could best be described as a rollercoaster – with thrilling peaks and a few humbling valleys, but never a dull moment! Their highest rapid rating peaked at 913 in September 2023, a blazing start that perhaps set expectations a bit too high, followed by some thoughtful recalibration in subsequent months.

Playing Style & Tendencies

Known for a dedication to the endgame, Fir3norm reaches the endgame phase in about 58% of their rapid games, often battling through close to 38 moves on the way to victory and a marathon 79 moves in defeat. Despite a somewhat modest overall win rate, the tenacity shines through with a remarkable 87.5% comeback rate after setbacks. Those who dare to chip away at their position might find the king suddenly rising from the ashes!

Opening Repertoire

Fir3norm is no one-trick pony. While the trusty King's Pawn Opening is a favorite (6 games with a 33% win rate), they've also dabbled expertly in aggressive gambits like the Englund Gambit, boasting a perfect 100% win rate there, as well as the Scotch Game and the Leonardis Variation, both undefeated in their brief outings.

Recent Battles

Fir3norm's recent games tell tales of strategic grit and opportunistic strikes. Their latest victory came courtesy of a dramatic abandonment against "thor-ka-baap" after a fierce onslaught beginning with a calm 1.e4. Another memorable win in the Englund Gambit showcased a swift checkmate, reminding opponents that sometimes surprise is the best defense.

Notable Stats & Quirks

  • Longest winning streak: 2 games (because two's company!)
  • Longest losing streak: 3 games (everyone needs a little humility)
  • Early resignation rate: Zero, refusing to quit no matter how spicy the position gets.
  • Best time to catch Fir3norm online: 4 AM - yes, the crack of dawn makes for fiery plays.
  • Favorite day for wins: Saturday, when the weekend mood turns lethal on the board.

Psychological Warfare

With a tilt factor of 3, Fir3norm admits to the occasional emotional hiccup but swiftly bounces back—no wonder their comeback rate is high! Rated games get the juice flowing, improving their win percentage by over 33% compared to casual play.

Verdict

Fir3norm is a player who embodies resilience and surprise. Not your typical grandmaster, but someone who dares to mix audacious gambits with strategic patience. Whether it's battling until move 80 or catching opponents off guard in the opening, Fir3norm's journey is a fiery chess saga well worth following—after all, what's chess without a little spark?
