Meet Frank, the Chess Maverick
Also known by the username Frasbury, Frank is a seasoned chess player whose journey started back in 2012. Over more than a decade, he has battled across thousands of games in all time controls, from the adrenaline-pumping Bullet to the thoughtful Daily chess.
Rating Chronicles
Frank’s chess rating has seen the true rollercoaster of the chess world. His peak Blitz rating soared close to 1800 in early 2020, while his Daily chess crown was notably crowned with a peak rating over 2075 in late 2014. Rapid and Bullet ratings have also had highlights, with a Rapid peak just shy of 1760, and a Bullet top rating above 1160. Clearly, he dances gracefully across all formats.
Playing Style & Personality
With an average game winning length of about 67 moves, Frank shows a penchant for marathon battles rather than quick skirmishes. An impressive 70% of his games reach the endgame, showcasing his endurance and strategic depth. Despite an early resignation rate of just under 1%, he rarely gives up early – unless the arguments with his chess clock become too heated!
Frank prefers to play the Sicilian Defense and the French Defense Normal Variation with commendable success, leading his top Blast openings in Blitz games. His win rates in opening lines hover comfortably around 50-56%, proving he’s not just mixing pawns, but mixing up opponents' nightmares.
Fun fact: Frank’s best time to strike on the board is around 1 PM—so be sure not to schedule a game with him just before lunch!
Career Highlights & Records
As of now, Frank has over 10,000 wins in Blitz alone and keeps a win-loss-draw record that tells a story of a fearless competitor – winning slightly more games than he loses, even in chaotic time controls. His comeback rate is a jaw-dropping 80%, meaning losing a piece isn't the end, it's just the beginning of his glorious revenge saga.
Against certain opponents, Frank's performance is almost legendary. He boasts perfect win records against some challengers (looking at you, ccoll65 and andrews151) while others drive him into interesting tactical scrambles—keeping his tilt factor contained at a modest 14, which is pretty zen for a chess warrior.
Latest Triumphs
His most recent notable win came against ccoll65, where Frank demonstrated flawless strategic play leading to a resignation victory in a Ruy Lopez variation – a testimony to his classical roots and tactical sharpness.
The Man Behind the Moves
More than just statistics and ratings, Frank is a chess enthusiast whose dedication has seen him through highs and lows. When not plotting king hunts or orchestrating knight forks, he might be found chuckling at his own clever blunders or brewing the perfect cup of coffee to fuel his next tournament grind.
So next time you face Frank on the board, remember: behind every move lies years of study, a dash of humor, and a sprinkle of madness. Because chess is not just a game to Frank – it’s a grand adventure.
