Wearing the streamer hat proud, Frank’s sharp tactical awareness and persistent fighting spirit make him an electrifying presence on the virtual chessboard.

Chess Journey and Ratings

Over the years, Frank has climbed steadily from humble beginnings, with his blitz rating soaring to a peak of 907 in April 2025, and a rapid rating reaching a mighty 1491 in May 2025. Bullet chess?
