Frank Jimenez (aka frankperu)

Meet Frank Jimenez, a relentless chess warrior known for his steadfast dedication to the royal game and a penchant for long, thrilling battles on the board. With a peak blitz rating of 1701, a rapid rating soaring up to 1724, and a bullet high-water mark at a blazing 1837, Frank dances through time controls like a caffeinated knight dodging pawns.

Frank's style could be described as the marathon runner of chess — he averages over 66 moves per win in blitz and even more in losses, proving he never gives up until the last piece is standing. Endgames? He frequents them with gusto, boasting an endgame frequency of 76%, because who needs shortcuts when the thrill is in the grind?

Quick to recover, Frank's comeback rate stands impressively at nearly 89%, often clawing victory from the jaws of defeat. However, beware: if you manage to snatch a piece, Frank's win rate after losing material is a respectable 45%. Not too shabby for someone who’s been known to quit early just 1% of the time — that's some serious fighting spirit!

He favors the French Defense Normal Variation and the ever-classical Scotch Game, leveraging openings that have themselves stood the test of time. At the same time, his repertoire is broad enough to include sneaky lines like the Philidor Exchange Variation and the Scandinavian Defense, showing both patience and versatility in equal measure.

Always playing with the white pieces gives Frank a slight statistical edge, with a white win rate of about 51%, while on the black side he fights hard with a win rate in the mid-40%s. His favorite time to play? Ten in the morning — when his brain is sharp, his coffee is hot, and his opponents better beware.

This resilient tactician’s recent games show a flair for delivering checkmates with style — including a memorable blitz victory on May 31st, 2025, sealing the deal with a dramatic queen and bishop mating net. His toughest loss? A hard-fought checkmate against a modern defense specialist, proving that even the best sometimes need to bow out gracefully.

Frank currently stands tall with more wins in blitz (9,535) than in rapid and bullet combined — no wonder he’s a blitz beast! His longest winning streak of 12 games rings the board like a heroic saga, and his current 4-game winning streak hints that more drama and brilliance are just a few moves away.

Whether he’s hunting pawns or sacrificing castles, one thing is clear: Frank Jimenez’s passion for chess is as infectious as his determination to keep playing, learning, and maybe tilting the board a little (only about 12% tilt factor, keep it classy, Frank!). Expect many more battles, memorable brilliancies, and just enough blunders to keep us all entertained.
