Profile: Freeflyman

Meet Freeflyman, a chess enthusiast who finds joy in both the thrill of blitz and the strategic depth of rapid games. While not quite Grandmaster-material yet, Freeflyman’s journey reflects the true spirit of a passionate player battling it out on the 64 squares with a mixture of fierce will and a sprinkle of unpredictability.

Chess Journey & Ratings

Peaking at a bullet rating of 783 in December 2024, Freeflyman proved lightning-fast reflexes can make a difference, even if it’s just one perfect game out of many. In the rapid category, the rating soared to a respectable 680 in early 2025, showcasing better endurance and tactical vision over longer time controls. Blitz battles remain challenging with a peak of 599, where the rollercoaster ride from 599 down to 298 shows that consistency is still a work in progress.

Playing Style & Personality

Freeflyman’s style resembles a curious mix of perseverance and occasional early surrenders, with an Early Resignation Rate sitting at about 5.4%. This suggests a player who sometimes decides to save face but mostly fights until the bitter end, often pushing games beyond 50 moves. Not one to shy away from endgames, Freeflyman has nearly 51% of their games reaching those intense final phases.

Despite occasional setbacks, Freeflyman shows impressive mental toughness, staging comebacks 65% of the time when the chips are down. Even after losing material, about 37% of the games end in victory, proving that tactical alertness is a strong suit – or sheer stubbornness depending on how you look at it. The tireless spirit does come with a mild tilt factor of 11, meaning losing streaks can ruffle the feathers a bit, but the chessboard is a relentless teacher.

Openings & Strategies

Freeflyman enjoys a good variety of openings, with a curious fondness for the Mieses Opening, both playing it and facing it. Performance here is a tale of ups and downs: while the Mieses Opening brings a win rate around 30% in blitz and rapid games, the Van ’t Kruijs Opening seems to be a personal secret weapon boasting a blitz win rate exceeding 66%. The Pirc Defense and its variants also feature heavily, affirming a middle-ground approach between solid defense and counterattack.

Memorable Moments

One can’t help but admire Freeflyman’s recent triumph against WarmMilkPlease where, after a complex skirmish marked by ambitious pawn moves and piece trades, Freeflyman sealed the deal in a textbook demonstration of persistence.

“1. d3 b6 2. a3 Bb7 … 20. Qh6 1-0”
— A game of patience turned into an elegant victory.

Rivalries & Opponents

Freeflyman meets fierce resistance from opponents like Neodream117, YT_Sendery4, and Solide_brm, who hold the dubious honor of never tasting defeat at Freeflyman’s hands. On the flip side, players such as WarmMilkPlease and several others have felt Freeflyman’s wrath, suffering total defeats that hint at some hidden chess sorcery in play.

Fun Facts

  • Best time to play: Early mornings around 9 AM, when brain cells are freshest and coffee level is optimal.
  • Favorite day for a win: Thursday, boasting a win rate nearly 68%.
  • Longest winning streak: A dazzling 13-game run, proving that on the right day, Freeflyman channels the grandmaster within.
  • Black pieces win rate: Around 42%, showing that even without first move advantage, Freeflyman can turn the tables.

In Summary

Freeflyman is a spirited chess adventurer, navigating the complexities of chess openings and endgames with a mix of grit, occasional questionable decisions, but always with heart. Whether it’s bullet speed, rapid thrills, or blitz battles, this player embodies the relentless pursuit of improvement (and the occasional epic blunder) that keeps the game endlessly fascinating.
