Opening Choices: A Dash of Creativity

Fredarc loves navigating complex openings with a lifetime subscription to unpredictability:

• Alekhine's Defense: A favorite with a winning rate near 63% in rapid. Apparently, fredarc enjoys taunting opponents early by inviting their pawns to advance, then springing traps.
• King's Pawn Opening: Built for aggressive play with nearly 60% wins — because who doesn't love controlling the center and rattling cages?
• Nimzowitsch Defense: One of fredarc's most comfy zones, boasting a respectable 59% rapid win rate.
• In blitz, the Reti Opening shines bright with a perfect 100% win record — talk about flying off the charts when the clock ticks!

Playing Style & Trends

With a comeback rate of 77.6%, fredarc refuses to go down without a fight. Losing a piece? No worries, the win rate after that is a decent 46%, proving resilience and tactical grit. Games tend to be long affairs — averaging about 52 moves per win and 69 per loss — so patience is key. Interestingly, fredarc equally embraces the roles of white and black, holding a roughly 51% win rate with each color.

Beware the tilt factor, though: a 6 out of 10, meaning a string of bad moves can sneak in when frustration strikes. But the best time to catch fredarc in full form is strangely around 2 AM, where deep focus meets nocturnal ninja skills.

Memorable Battles

Recently, fredarc delivered a checkmate masterpiece in a rapid game against abdullahabuhshima, weaving through the Queen’s Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin Variation with calculated precision (see the move 30.Qd7# for the mic drop moment). Conversely, losses against solid foes like mohanned09 remind us that even the fiercest warriors sometimes get checkmated, fueling the eternal quest to improve.

Opponent Dynamics & Win Records

Fredarc’s record against familiar names shows a mix of triumphs and challenges: a 100% win rate against a handful of opponents suggests some rivalries are downright one-sided. Yet, there are players like mohanned09 who have managed to snag a clean victory, keeping fredarc humble and hungry.
