Fathur Junior - The Chess.com Contender

Also known by the handle imFathur, Fathur Junior is a player who approaches chess battles with a blend of spirited grit and occasional unpredictability. Although his Blitz rating has peaked modestly at 287 (April 2025) and Rapid crown jewel at a respectable 726 (February 2025), his true strength lies in his fresh and dynamic playstyle that keeps opponents on their toes.

Playing Profile

Fathur loves the momentum as much as he loves a good challenge—his longest winning streak of 6 games shows he can ride a hot streak, though his current losing streak reminds us even chess warriors have their off days. With an overall Blitz win-loss record close to a balanced 64 wins, 68 losses, and 11 draws, and Rapid showing a tougher 23 wins to 43 losses, it’s clear Fathur fights fiercely, even if the scoreboard is sometimes unkind.

Opening Adventures

On the opening front, he has a love-hate relationship with the Scandinavian Defense in Blitz, winning just 31.58% of 19 games (maybe that pawn sacrifice isn’t his favorite). But watch out when he slips into the Bishop’s Opening or French Defense — where he boasts charming win rates above 60% and even tops at 75% for the French Defense. It's like watching him cook up a tricky recipe that occasionally burns but often delights.

Psychological Quirks

Fathur’s tilt factor stands at a mellow 7/100, proving he's more Zen than stormy. His best time to play? Midnight (00:00 hours)—perhaps inspired by the quiet or fueled by late-night snacks. He’s also impressively resilient, with a comeback rate of nearly 68%, meaning never count him out when a piece is lost; he’ll fight back fiercely before resigning (which he does about 10.81% of the time).

Fun Facts

• His win rate peaks at 66.67% around 7 PM, suggesting that evening chill fuels his game.
• He’s undefeated (100% win rate) against a curious bunch of opponents like cacacuskis and aux_44—clearly some rivalries are all in his favor!
• Love him or hate him, Fathur is an endgame devotee, featuring endgames in nearly half his games (46.58%).

Recent Battles

His latest victory was a dazzling time-control win against sachahor with the French Defense Knight Variation—an epic duel lasting over 40 moves that ended on time, proving sometimes chess isn’t just about checkmates, but outlasting the clock.

Of course, not every day is rosy. Recent tough losses, including a monster defeat by St3fano38, serve as a reminder that even the best have hard days, especially when the Berlin Defense shows up armed.

The Bottom Line

Fathur Junior might not yet be a grandmaster, but his chess tale is an unfolding epic of passion, persistence, late-night brilliance, and the occasional heartbreak on the virtual battlefield. Whether blitzing through openings or grinding in rapid play, he’s a player who knows that every loss is just a prelude to the next, glorious win.
