Franck Bertin (aka franckissssa)
Meet Franck Bertin, the chess enthusiast who navigates the 64 squares with a blend of tenacity and luck worthy of a Hollywood underdog story. While Franck’s peak blitz rating clocks in at a respectable 1216 (reached in February 2025), it’s clear that every game is an adventure – complete with dramatic comebacks and, occasionally, a knight’s tumble.
Playing Style & Stats
Franck’s games are marathon affairs, with an average of nearly 72 moves per win, proving that patience is indeed a virtue — or stubbornness, we won’t judge! A sign of true grit is the staggering 82.12% comeback rate in situations when the chips are down, turning near-defeats into glorious victories. However, sometimes the early resignation flag waves, as Franck pulls out early in about 2.34% of games — a strategic retreat or a “Nope, not today!” moment.
Favorite Openings
- The Top Secret Opening – Franck's signature move, used in over 12,000 games with almost a 47% win rate. Intriguingly secretive, it leaves opponents guessing (and sometimes laughing).
- Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack (Classical Variation) – 100% win rate in 4 games! Clearly, a weapon of choice when Franck wants to dazzle and double-fianchetto the opposition’s hopes.
- Owens Defense and French Defense variants – tested with an even split of wins and losses, showing that experimentation rules the day.
Peak Moments & Battle Rhythm
Franck’s best blitz blitzing was at 1216 rating in 2025. Rapid games have seen Franck reach 1095, and an 800 peak in daily chess, proving versatility across formats. Playing at 3 AM seems to be Franck’s sweet spot, boasting a perfect win rate then — night owl or just avoiding human opponents?
Psychology & Quirks
With a Tilt Factor of 13, Franck takes losses seriously but never too seriously — because what chess journey is complete without a few grimaces at missed forks? Franck’s win percentage shines brighter against lower-rated opponents, capturing nearly 68% victories, while uphill battles against higher-rated foes hold their own level of excitement (and occasional humility).
Recent Battles
Recent triumphs include a masterful outing using the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack (Classical Variation), snagging victory on time after a tense battle. Sure, losses happen (no one gets a free pass on the chessboard), but every defeat is a lesson and a siege to come back stronger.
In Conclusion
Franck Bertin, aka franckissssa, may not be setting Grandmaster norms yet, but his dedication, resilience, and colorful playing style make each game a chess story worth following — packed with unexpected twists, unorthodox openings, and a playbook full of surprises.
