Player Profile: fraud

Username: fraud

Once a humble Bullet enthusiast barely scraping 500 rating in early 2023, fraud rapidly transformed into a blaster of pawns and hopes, reaching a blazing peak Bullet rating of 2445 in July 2024. From fumbling through sub-800 ratings to astonishing victories, fraud’s journey is a compelling story of grit, guile, and a dash of cheeky unpredictability.

Playing Style & Strengths

fraud is known for embracing the chaos of Bullet chess, boasting an impressive win rate over 70% at peak and an uncanny comeback rate of 81.6% after getting battered. Their tactical thrill-seeking is obvious with average winning games stretching to around 76 moves, proving it’s never over till the final blink of the clock. This player clearly believes in exhausting the enemy — or exhausting themselves — with endurance and pressure.

Favorite Openings

When it comes to openings, fraud has a soft spot for gambits and aggressive lines:

  • Englund Gambit – crushing a spectacular 74% win rate over 130 games
  • Alapin Sicilian Defense – a crafty choice with 73% victories
  • Van t Kruijs Opening and Old Benoni Defense – trusty favorites leading to consistent success against the unprepared
Clearly, fraud loves shaking up the board early — sometimes leaving opponents wondering if the real fraud is on the other side.

Stats Highlights

  • Longest winning streak: 43 games (impressive or suspicious, you decide)
  • Peak Blitz rating: 2084, proving serious speed chops
  • Preferred playing hours: Late night to early morning (with win rates hovering around 70% at 2 AM and 17 PM!)
  • Psychological resilience: A tilt factor of 10 means fraud occasionally feels the heat — but mostly keeps cool
  • Early resignation rate: Just 1.5% — nobody gives up easy, not even when checkmated… eventually.

Recent Memorable Battle

On January 7, 2025, in a Live Chess bullet game on Chess.com, fraud delivered a masterclass with the Englund Gambit, culminating in a dramatic checkmate after a fierce middle game involving all manner of pawn pushes, rook maneuvers, and queen sacrifices. The exhilaration of ending a 53-move slugfest with a Qb7# finish surely had fraud feeling like the world's most cunning trickster.

Humorous Take

Is fraud really a fraud? The ratings and stats say no — but we like to imagine this chess player as a mischievous phantom sneaking wins under the opponent's radar. With a username like that and a penchant for gambit play, fraud keeps everyone guessing — a little bit of wizard, a little bit of chaos in every game.

One thing’s for sure: fraud’s true talent lies in turning uncertainty into victory. Whether it’s bullet bullets or blitz blitz, watch out — there might be a little fraud involved in that brilliance!
