Lorenzo Perea Fruet (Flameboard08)
Meet Lorenzo Perea Fruet, a formidable FIDE Master whose blitz skills could make a bullet train look slow! Sporting the FM title from FIDE, Lorenzo doesn’t just play chess — they dominate the board with a blend of strategic cunning and a dash of daring flair.
Starting with a humble blitz rating just over 1800 in late 2023, Lorenzo skyrocketed to an impressive peak rating of 2942 in April 2025. If chess ratings were a roller coaster, Lorenzo’s ride would definitely be more front-seat thrill than a gentle spin.
In bullet chess, Lorenzo reached the dizzying heights of 3012, proving lightning-fast reflexes and razor-sharp tactics go hand in hand. On their worst days, they might manage a stumble, but did you really think a FIDE Master’s day is anything but brilliant? Their win rate in bullet games is a solid 57%, and in blitz matches, it hovers impressively above 51%.
Lorenzo’s favorite opening? The mysterious "Top Secret" – a repertoire so well-guarded they’ve played it over 2,000 times with a winning record. Birds Opening variations also feature prominently, especially the Dutch and Froms Gambit lines, showcasing a willingness to surprise foes early on.
Known for the longest winning streak of 18 games (probably a few opponents still haven’t recovered), Lorenzo’s resilience stands out too, bouncing back with a >82% comeback rate after setbacks. And when losing a piece? Not a problem — they maintain a respectful 50% win rate even then.
When asked about psychological resilience, Lorenzo shows a tilt factor of 8 (basically, they get slightly annoyed, then come back stronger). Their chess hours? They practically own the 3 AM slot — the best time of day to witness their absolute best chess magic.
Off the board, Lorenzo might casually joke, "I don’t always checkmate my opponents, but when I do, it’s usually after a spectacular tactical blunder from them." Despite all the seriousness, there’s always room for fun on the 64 squares.
Recent Highlights
- Most recent victory was a resignation win against VesnaTesting64, showcasing Lorenzo's relentless pressure in a Bird's Opening setup.
- Most recent loss was a close checkmate defeat by Masruri_Rahman, proving even the best can be bested – perfect fuel for the next comeback!
With hundreds of games played, loads of wins (and the occasional humbling loss), Lorenzo’s chess career is a thrilling saga of constant improvement, epic battles, and a touch of chessboard mischief. Whether wielding the knight or launching a fiery pawn storm, Flameboard08 is a name worth remembering in the chess community.
