Fran28108: The Rollercoaster Chess Warrior

Meet Fran28108, a chess player whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of an epic saga. With a peak rapid rating of 1210 achieved back in April 2024, Fran’s chess rating graph looks a bit like a theme park ride—thrilling ups, sudden drops, and unexpected rebounds that keep opponents guessing and fans entertained.

Known for persistence more than perfection, Fran has battled through over 400 rapid games, snatching 206 wins, suffering 179 defeats, and sealing 22 draws. The blitz battlefield is less visited but no less fierce, with a modest peak of 100 rating.

Opening Moves: The Secret Weapons

Fran favors quirky and lesser-trodden paths to victory. The Van t Kruijs Opening is a personal favorite, boasting a respectable 55.8% win rate over 95 games, proving Fran's love for surprising opponents early on. Other go-to openings like the Modern Defense and the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack show a balanced and combative style with win rates hovering around 50%.

Playing Style & Personality

Fran’s games tend to be marathons, with an average of nearly 43 moves per win and almost 60 per loss, indicating a patient approach that grinds down opponents. Although early resignations are rare (only about 5.5%), Fran shines brightest after bounce-backs, boasting a hearty 62% comeback rate after tough positions.

Known to play his best at night — especially around 11 pm where the win rate spectacularly spikes to over 80% — Fran might just be a night owl sharpened by moonlight and caffeine.

Memorable Battles

Victory is sweet and sometimes poetic. One recent triumph featured a flawless checkmate against minnfpfl, showcasing Fran's ability to coordinate queen and rook with surgical precision. Losses sting but Fran bounces back quickly—because every setback is just another setup for a comeback.

Opponent Dynamics

Some adversaries have little hope once Fran sits down at the board. Against minnfpfl, henriquebas, and sixboulettes, Fran has a perfect 100% win record. Others pose tougher challenges, but Fran’s willingness to face all comers with a nearly balanced arsenal is commendable.

Fun Fact

Despite the ups and downs, Fran’s chess mood rarely sours; the so-called "tilt factor" is a low 5%, which means Fran is mostly cool-headed even when under fire — a quality every player dreams of.

Whether it’s the creative openings or the dogged determination in endgames, Fran28108 has carved out a unique niche in the chess world — and the adventure is only getting started.
