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!).

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

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.
