Frane Spahija (aka Frane73) - The Relentless Chess Adventurer
Meet Frane Spahija, a chess player whose journey on the 64 squares resembles an epic tale of ups, downs, and countless battles fought with knights, pawns, and a fair bit of stubbornness. Known online as Frane73, this determined strategist has danced through the ranks of Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and even Daily chess games, showing that persistence is his true middle name.
Rating Rollercoaster and Stats Snapshot
Starting modestly with a Bullet rating around 800 in 2017, Frane73 skyrocketed to over 1500 in just a few years, proving that practice really does make perfect (or at least pretty darn good). His Blitz adventures boast a steady climb from sub-1000 in his early years to a strong 1500 rating peak in recent times. Rapid chess is where he seems to have truly shined, reaching a peak rating near 1680 in 2022 and maintaining consistent performance since. Daily chess? Well, he’s a part-time warrior there with some perfect wins in the limited games played.
Playing Style and Tactical Genius
Frane73's style is a curious mix of careful long games—his average winning game drags on for around 74 moves—with an almost superhuman comeback ability. His comeback rate is an astonishing 83.67%, and after losing a piece, he bounces back with a 100% win rate—take that, adversity! He’s not the type to quit early either, with an early resignation rate a mere 2.1%, showing he fights until the very last pawn falls.
Psychology at Play
You might say Frane73 has nerves of steel, although like any mortal, he has a tilt factor of 19. But perhaps the most remarkable fact is how his win rates differ slightly between playing White (48.38%) and Black (47.56%), proving that no matter the color, he’s ready to rumble.
