Frane Jakšić: The Chessboard Biologist
Meet Frane Jakšić, also known in the chess petri dish as fjaksic, a player whose game evolves with the precision of a well-studied organism. From early skirmishes in 2015 with a blitz rating buzzing around 1364, to a rapid rise reaching near-genius levels (a peak rapid rating of 1564 in 2025), Frane’s chess career is nothing short of an evolutionary marvel.
Like a cell navigating its environment, Frane adapts to openings with a keen sense of survival. The Queen's Pawn Opening has been a reliable habitat, boasting a win rate of nearly 55% in blitz games, while the Englund Gambit reveals a more aggressive mutation with a 56.5% win rate. And let's not forget the crafty maneuvers in the King's Pawn Opening during rapid games with an impressive 75% success—the kind of stats that would make Darwin himself nod in approval.
His playing style resembles a well-functioning ecosystem: a moderate early resignation rate of just 2.22%—Frane hates to quit his experiments prematurely—and an impressive endgame frequency exceeding 60%, proving his patience and persistence in the final phases of the battle. With an average of 55 moves to win and the ability to weather storms (a remarkable 71.82% comeback rate), Frane demonstrates tactical resilience that few can rival.
Psychologically, Frane can be a little tempestuous—his tilt factor at 11 signals some emotional fluctuations, but this fiery temperament perhaps fuels the passion behind his moves. Facing the board’s predators and prey, he bounces back from piece losses with a perfect 100% win rate, showing evolution in action.
Off the board, Frane's record against opponents is a veritable zoo of success and challenge. He has conquered many foes, including a flawless track record versus calcalist and alpebo, but even the most adaptable organisms face threats—look out for pawsitevet and mardhlyap, where victories are as elusive as a rare species.
Whether it's a blitz blitzkrieg or a rapid respiratory burst of moves, Frane Jakšić continues to bio-engineer his path through the chess wilderness with evolutionary flair and tactical precision. As nature would suggest: survive, adapt, and checkmate.
