Ftffvjj: The Chess Journey of a Relentless Fighter

Some players chase the queen, others chase glory — Ftffvjj chases the clock, and often wins by letting time do the talking!

Early Days and Ratings Rollercoaster

From a modest starting Rapid rating of 147 in early 2024, Ftffvjj’s journey has been a thrilling rollercoaster of ups, downs, and surprise twists. By mid-2025, a peak Rapid rating of 431 was achieved — not bad at all for someone whose average game style often involves breathing down the clock’s neck.

In the Heat of the Moment: The Time Controls

• Rapid: 206 games, with 82 wins, 110 losses, and 14 draws. A fierce battler who knows how to adapt — though sometimes the losses outnumber the wins, the spirit never fades.
• Blitz: A smaller sample but a win rate full of surprises, peaking at 333 rating with some 9 wins against 23 losses.
• Bullet: The adrenaline rush playground where Ftffvjj's highest rating skyrocketed to an impressive 495. With 42 wins, 84 losses, and 1 draw, it’s clear speed sometimes beats precision.
• Daily: Despite fewer games, Ftffvjj reached a peak rating of 546 — patience and calculated moves shine here, even if the win tally is modest.

Playing Style & Psychological Tidbits

With an early resignation rate of about 9%, Ftffvjj shows some pragmatism. Endgames tend to stick around (played in 42% of games), suggesting this player loves the long haul (or just hopes the opponent makes a mistake eventually). Their average winning game lasts about 43 moves, while losses tend to drag on a bit longer at around 50 moves.

Known for a 72.39% comeback rate after being down, Ftffvjj embodies the phrase “never say die.” Although the tilt factor is around 14 (a subtle nod to the classic “grumble and try again”), they seem most comfortable playing around 3 AM — perhaps chess is their true midnight muse.

Opening Repertoire: The Favorites and the Foes

Rapid chess reveals love for the Englund Gambit, Scandinavian Defense, and a reliable King’s Pawn Opening with about a 50-66% win rate depending on variations. Ftffvjj’s games frequently feature sharp gambits and tricky surprises, often catching opponents off guard.

In Blitz, Scandinavia reigns supreme with a perfect 100% win rate in a few games — a suspiciously sweet spot.

Bullet games are peppered with Bishop’s Opening and King’s Pawn variations, albeit with mixed success (win rates hover around 25-40% here).

Head-to-Head Highlights

Ftffvjj plays frequently against orcaids (122 games), but wins less than 12% against them, proving that even the sharpest blades meet their match. Against lesser-known opponents, there’s a varied bag — a few 100% win records sprinkled for good measure and some tough rivals who keep Ftffvjj on their toes.

Memorable Matches

The most recent victory came by exploiting the Englund Gambit on June 4, 2025. Ftffvjj clinched a win on time, reminding everyone that speed sometimes speaks louder than strategy.

The Final Word

Ftffvjj may not always win on the board, but they certainly win at persistence. Chess is not just about flawless technique here; it's about spirit, comebacks, and unexpected time scrambles. If you face them online, be prepared for a fight that could drag to the wire — often literally!

In chess, as in life, Ftffvjj proves it's not just the moves you make, but the moves you survive.
