Fernando López Gracia (Flopezin) - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Fernando López Gracia, affectionately known in the chess cosmos as Flopezin, wears the proud mantle of FIDE Master with flair and finesse. Not just a player, but a chess artist with a résumé boasting a blitz peak rating of 2537 (in 2023) and daily ratings peaking at an impressive 2270 in his earlier years.

A Journey Through the Ranks

Starting from humble 1200 daily rating waters back in 2013, Fernando quickly soared to the heights above 2100 within the very same year, showing a penchant for rapid improvement. His blitz games tell even more adrenaline-fueled tales: a rollercoaster ride from 1851 in 2017 to a dazzling 2537 by 2023. That's like turning pawns into rockets!

Playing Style - The Long Game Lover

Known for his endgame mastery (played in over 81% of his games), Fernando doesn't rush to conclusions. His average moves per win hover around 77 moves—patience is a virtue and his clock proves it. Early resignations? Barely above 1%, so expect fights that go down to the last piece.

Tactical Wizardry and Resilience

Flopezin isn’t easily shaken. His comeback rate clocks a stellar 86.27%, and after losing a piece, he bounces back with a perfect 100% win rate. Talk about turning setbacks into comebacks! His "tilt factor" is a modest 8—he may get a little miffed, but never enough to stop plotting his next brilliant move.

Record-Breaking Streaks and Opponents

When things click, Fernando can go on a tear—a longest winning streak of 14 games reminds us he’s no stranger to domination. Opponents beware, especially usernames like zsizsi99, erikronka, and cheer_down, where he holds a perfect 100% win rate.

When Does Fernando Shine?

What about timing? Seems like mornings and afternoons are prime time with a 100% win rate at 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 o’clock! Whether it’s the early bird or the late riser, around noon his game gets hot too with a 75% win rate. Just don’t play him at 15:00—he’s focused but cautious, winning about a third of those!

All In All...

Fernando López Gracia is the kind of player who treats chess not just as a game, but as a battleground for strategic endurance, witty tactics, and resilient comebacks. Whether you're up against him in blitz or daily, be ready—Flopezin might just outlast you in a seven-hour, 77-move epic or win sharp and fast with a cheeky tactic when you least expect it.

Chess is serious business—and with Fernando, it’s seriously entertaining.
