Profile Summary: Furiegump
Meet Furiegump, a chess warrior known for a rollercoaster ride on the 64 squares! With a peak rapid rating of 626 achieved in late 2024 and a blitz best of 457 in early 2025, Furiegump thrives in fast-paced battles—although the bullet rating peak is a modest 275, proving that sometimes speed isn't everything.
Despite an uphill battle in daily games with a tough 0% win rate in recent entries, Furiegump shows resilience and a flair for comebacks, boasting a remarkable comeback rate near 60%. Sometimes games end the old-fashioned way, but don't be fooled—this player has racked up over 370 blitz wins and nearly 100 in rapid, showing they're no stranger to victory laps.
Preferring the chaos of blitz, Furiegump often embraces openings like the King’s Pawn Opening and Queen’s Pawn Opening, wielding variations such as the Chigorin and Van ’t Kruijs with a respectable 50-67% win rate. A dabble in the occasional surprise gambit, notably the Wendell Gambit (a.k.a. the Englund Gambit), adds spice to their repertoire, boasting a solid 50% success in rapid play.
Furiegump’s style is intriguingly balanced: a touch impatient with an early resignation rate just under 8%, yet battle-hardened with an average game length north of 50 moves. A strategic risk-taker, they navigate endgames with finesse, playing more than half of their games deep into the late stages. Just don't catch them tilting too hard—their tilt factor hovers around a manageable 11%.
Playing hours vary, but the “witching hour” of 5 AM seems to bring out their best moves (win rate over 60%), while afternoons and early evenings remain golden—where their win rate often tips past 50%. However, beware opponents who start their blitz duels in the late evening; that’s when things get tricky.
