Meet fred1156, a resilient chess adventurer navigating the battlefield of rapid chess with the spirit of a gladiator and the patience of a saint... well, mostly. With a peak rapid rating of 352 achieved in May 2025, fred1156 has tasted both the bitter sorrow of defeats and the sweet nectar of victory almost in equal measure—boasting a balanced record of 71 wins, 71 losses, and 15 draws over 155 games. Talk about living life on the edge!

Opening Repertoire: The Gambit Gambler

fred1156 fancies a variety of openings, dabbling from the classic King’s Pawn Opening to the more obscure Queen’s Pawn Chigorin Variation. The crown jewel of fred1156’s opening successes? The legendary King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation, where an impressive 83% win rate hints that this is the guy’s comfort zone—and maybe a secret weapon that opponents dread. On the flip side, the Philidor Defense is more like a wild, unpredictable rollercoaster with only a 16.7% win rate. But hey, variety is the spice of chess life!

Playing Style & Personality

fred1156 is known for a moderate early resignation rate (~17%), probably recognizing when the tide turns—because wasting time on a sinking ship isn’t their style. With an average of about 54 moves per win, they clearly enjoy long, strategic skirmishes rather than quick checkmates. Notably, the favorite hour to play is around 9 PM, when inspiration apparently flows strongest (win rate soaring to nearly 73% at 21:00).

With a comeback rate of 69%, fred1156 is the ultimate phoenix—often turning losing positions into victorious outcomes. Also, the knack for winning after losing a piece nearly 38% of the time suggests a keen tactical awareness that can't be underestimated.

Memorable Moments

Among recent battles, a notable shining moment was the graceful victory against TyKsYn on June 1st, 2025, where fred1156 steered the King’s Pawn Opening to a triumphant resignation by the opponent after a calculated onslaught.

However, not all battles end in glory—the recent loss to Xandelopes reminds us that every chess journey includes some humbling lessons, often by a surprising "game abandoned" verdict. But fred1156’s spirit is far from broken.

Opponent Highlights

fred1156 has some interesting rivalries: undefeated against TyKsYn, whatthekoussini, and mini_berth, but has yet to best lavanderseeker or xandelopes. A mixed bag for sure, but that’s what keeps the chess world exciting!

In Summary

In the unpredictable theater of rapid chess, fred1156 shines as a fearless, sometimes quirky, always entertaining competitor. Not the highest rated grandmaster-in-training, but certainly a player with a flair for comebacks, long battles, and the occasional cheeky gambit. Opponents beware—fred1156 may resign early when the chips are down, but they’ll fight tooth and nail when the game is on the line. All hail the rapid renaissance man (or username) who keeps the game fresh, one tricky move at a time.
