Meet firzchess
Since first appearing on the chess scene in 2022, firzchess has shown steady growth and enthusiasm across multiple time controls. Starting out with a Blitz rating in the lower 400s, their persistence eventually pushed them to a 2023 Blitz peak of 604. Meanwhile, in Bullet—where speed and tactics shine—their impressive run in 2023 reached a max rating of 768.
Performance & Playing Style
With over 260 wins and 27 draws in Blitz alone, firzchess demonstrates both tenacity and willingness to battle through tough positions. They enjoy heading into the endgame—roughly 55% of their games extend into deeper play—and their Comeback Rate of nearly 69% underlines a knack for turning the tables even after a disadvantage. At times, they are susceptible to tilt, but they also exhibit a strong difference in rated vs. casual games, performing almost 48% better when the stakes are high.

Openings & Strengths
A diverse opening repertoire keeps opponents guessing. In Blitz, firzchess has excelled with the Scandinavian Defense (over 65% win rate in some lines), the Philidor Defense, and dynamic lines of the Scotch Game. Strong tactical awareness shows up in consistent successes playing 1.e4 lines, where accurate calculation and a willingness to embrace open positions bolster their results.
Competitive Mindset
Although their Early Resignation Rate hovers around 7%, most losses are hard-fought battles—often decided in under 55 moves. White is only slightly less successful than Black, indicating well-rounded skills on both sides of the board. A tilt factor of around 8 suggests that losses can sometimes affect subsequent games, but the player’s resilience resurfaces in frequent comebacks.
The Road Ahead
As the seasons progress, firzchess continues to refine strategy and technique, pushing for higher peaks in Blitz and Bullet. Whether it’s tackling new openings or honing endgame conversions, the determination and constant desire to improve remain hallmarks of this competitive and spirited chess enthusiast.
