Firdosi54: The Resilient Rapid Warrior
Meet Firdosi54, a chess player who treats the 64 squares like a rollercoaster—full of ups, downs, and the occasional dizzy spell. With a peak Rapid rating of 1316 achieved in February 2025, this player shows the tenacity of a knight jumping into battle, even when the odds aren’t always in their favor.
