FIDE Master Roar Elseth (Username: FMLzikon)
Roar Elseth, known in the online chess realm as FMLzikon, proudly wears the title of FIDE Master, a testament to dedication, skill, and a knack for confounding opponents on the 64 squares.
With a peak Blitz rating soaring up to an impressive 2452 in 2025, Roar has showcased an electrifying speed and precision that makes bullet chess players blink in disbelief. Daily games and rapid formats see strong performances as well, with a highest rapid rating reaching 2224, proving that Roar’s versatility spans time controls like a true chess chameleon.
Boasting an overall blitz record close to 9,299 wins, the consistency is remarkable—Roar is no flash in the pan but a lightning bolt in the game, often weaving through openings with an almost secretive mastery of some Top Secret lines (which, unfortunately, remain classified!). Known openings include favorites like the Ruy Lopez and the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack, but with Roar, it’s the creative execution that keeps opponents guessing until checkmate.
Roar's playing style is a curious blend: an average of 72 moves to win suggests patience and positional understanding, while a knack for comebacks—with an astounding 86% comeback rate after setbacks—makes battles against Roar thrilling till the last move. Though the psychological tilt factor sits at 12, Roar balances this with tactical awareness that turns the tides quicker than you can say "castling."
Not just a feverish attacker, Roar enjoys marathoning the endgame, with 82.7% of games reaching endgame phases. Satisfaction comes from grinding wins, not short-lived frolics, which is why victories by resignation outnumber the rest.
His most recent battles reveal a competitive spirit that refuses to back down. On June 5, 2025, in a battle of wits against "agent0," Roar clinched victory with the coolness of a glacier—winning by resignation after a fierce middle and endgame dance.
Roar Elseth’s journey in chess is one painted with grit, speed, and precise calculation, sprinkled with a dash of mystery. Whether blitzing through opponents or patiently coaxing victory in slow games, Roar is a master whose tactics and spirit keep the chess world on its toes. Remember the name, because when Roar is at the board, the queens aren't the only things that howl.
