Player Profile: franvicar

Meet franvicar, a bullet-fighting machine with a penchant for complexity and comeback magic. Since bursting onto the chess scene in 2012, franvicar has been locked in a passionate dance of wins, losses, and draws – mostly in bullet time controls, where frantic speed meets sharp strategy.

Stats on Fire

  • Bullet rating peaked around 1500+, with an average near 1400-1450 over peak years.
  • Played over 3000 bullet games, boasting a winning peek of 1239, but never shy about embracing the chaos with 1702 losses and 106 draws.
  • Not a fan of slow and steady — blitz, rapid, and daily games are played occasionally, with mixed results.

Opening Buffet

franvicar likes to mix things up, enjoying a buffet of openings with a sharp taste for the Sicilian Defense (especially the Mieses Kotrc variation, where nearly half the games end in victory!). The Ruy Lopez and King's Gambit also get solid playtime, proving franvicar is not afraid to ruffle some feathers early.

Style & Flair

With an early resignation rate of just over 1%, franvicar fights till the last pawn drops. Their endgame frequency is impressively high at ~82%, showing a dogged determination to grind out wins or salvages with gritty technique.

The comeback rate? A staggering 88%! When the chips are down, franvicar doesn’t just keep calm — they turn the tables with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Chess might call it situational awareness; franvicar calls it Monday motivation.

Psychological Snapshot

Sometimes the knight falls, sometimes franvicar tilts a bit (28% tilt factor), but the quality of play remains entertaining and resilient. Games played on Thursdays and late evenings (10pm+) tend to be the most fruitful, so if you want to catch franvicar at their best, schedule a match at sunset or with a night owl spirit!

Memorable Victories

One of franvicar's latest victories was a thrilling checkmate using a King's Gambit Declined, Falkbeer Accepted Staunton Line. With a bold opening push and relentless pressure, franvicar turned the heat up on their opponent, Scoutbro, ending in a stunning Rxd8# after a series of tactical blows.

Legends They’ve Battled

franvicar has tussled with a variety of opponents, showing an interesting pattern: some adversaries like Scoutbro, Ukko1952, and OldSuttsCC have yet to claim a single win against them, while others like ClemensScheitz and MichaelCCSC tend to be tougher customers, pushing franvicar to the brink.

In Summary

franvicar is the classic underdog speedster, wielding a sharp opening repertoire, a fighting spirit that refuses to quit, and enough tactical awareness to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. If chess were a superhero convention, franvicar would be the quick-witted, unpredictable caped crusader who loves a good gamble... and wins half the time despite all odds.
