FIDE Master Az Tral (aka flavettes)

Az Tral, better known by their username flavettes, is a formidable FIDE Master who has danced their way through the blitz and bullet battlegrounds of chess with fierce determination and a cheeky grin. Holding the prestigious FIDE Master title, Az is the kind of player who could probably beat you while blindfolded—or at least while distracted by a cat walking across the board.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2016, Az Tral has clocked thousands of games, displaying a style that mixes tactical fireworks with the patience of a saint. Whether it’s blitz or bullet, flamethrower or icebox, this player thrives in fast-paced chaos, boasting peak ratings of 2744 in blitz (April 2023) and a blistering 2713 in bullet (October 2020). That’s a lot of rating points and a lot of frantic mouse clicks.

Playing Style & Strengths

• Early Resignation Rate: A humble 1.81%, proving Az fights to the bitter end... unless the coffee kicks in late.
• Endgame Wizard: Engaged in endgames in over 80% of matches, with an uncanny ability to move over 80 moves in a winning game—chess is a marathon, not a sprint, after all.
• Comback King: Pulling off an 87% comeback rate after being in the red, Az never gives up without a fight.
• Win Rates: Slight edge playing White with 51.63% wins, but the dark side is strong too at 47.26% wins with Black.

Notable Records & Stats

With well over 2500 wins in blitz alone and more than a thousand in bullet, Az Tral is no stranger to victory or occasional heartbreak—boasting both a longest winning streak of 17 games and enduring a tough 14-game losing skid. The psychological resilience shows as a tilt factor of just 14, indicating that only a prolonged checkmate with a side of roasted chicken can ruffle this player's feathers.

Memorable Victories

One recent example of Az Tral’s skill was from a Live Chess event where playing the Reti Opening, they calmly outmaneuvered their opponent, forcing a resignation after 34 commanding moves. The game featured a steady buildup, subtle pressure, and a flourish of tactical shots that left the adversary breathless and the viewers applauding.

Off the Board

Outside the 64 squares, Az Tral is rumored to enjoy peculiar hobbies—rumors include speed-eating pancake breakfasts or chasing the neighborhood squirrels while plotting their next opening novelties. Whether fact or fiction, one thing is certain: this master’s mix of humor, skill, and sheer grit makes them a delight to watch and an opponent not to be underestimated.

So, if you're ever looking to test your mettle, catch Az Tral at their prime hour—around 1 PM when their win rate spikes dramatically—or simply enjoy some high-voltage chess entertainment from a player who knows how to keep the game lively, serious, and with just a pinch of sass.
