Finn Thirks (aka Infinnity7)

Meet Finn Thirks, chess enthusiast, tactical adventurer, and part-time endgame magician. Despite his relatively modest blitz rating peaking at 472, Finn proves that chess is less about numbers and more about those breathtaking moments where everything clicks—or spectacularly falls apart in a flurry of queen sacrifices.

Finn's strength clearly shines in Daily chess, boasting a peak rating of 885 in March 2025 and a respectable win record of 10 wins out of 17 games. His playing style? A curious mix of patience and aggression, evidenced by an Average Moves Per Win of 75—he likes to savor victory, and sometimes his opponents get to enjoy the game a bit longer too.

He’s known for his endgame prowess, reaching endgames in about 62% of his games, and a comeback rate over 54%, which means he does not easily submit when the going gets tough. Finn's games tend to be marathons of strategy rather than quick sprints, which can sometimes tire out his opponents—or maybe just himself.

Finn prefers the white pieces slightly more, with a 63.64% win rate versus 40% with black. Openings-wise, he’s a fan of classics like the Italian Game and the Queens Gambit Declined, where he enjoys unleashing his signature combination style, often culminating in satisfying checkmates. His favorite recorded win featured a ferocious attack in the Italian Game, finishing with checkmate against "bensoloish".

Oddly enough, his current losing streak stands at 4 games, a little slump that Finn would no doubt approach with the stoic mindset of a true chess lover: “Every knight that falls is a lesson earned.”

When to catch him at his best? Early mornings seem ideal, with his highest win rates around 5 AM (probably fueled by caffeine and a fresh brain). Beware if you're playing him then—his tactical awareness and resilience are top-notch.

Outside the board, Finn is also known by his alias Infinnity7, a username hinting at his seemingly endless chess journey—whether that journey always leads to victory or a creative resignation is part of the fun.

In summary, Finn Thirks is a passionate, sometimes unpredictable chess player whose games are a blend of strategic depth, tactical surprises, and a fair share of dramatic finishes. Opponents beware: this is someone who believes a loss is just a plot twist in the grand story of checkmates to come.
