Profile Summary: JoaoFrancisco88
Meet JoaoFrancisco88, a relentless bullet battler and chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride through time and tactics.
Starting from a humble bullet rating of just over 400 in early 2023, JoaoFrancisco88 has persistently clawed their way up with a peak bullet rating soaring past 1000 in July 2024—proving that sometimes patience, perseverance, and a hint of stubbornness pay off in the fast-paced world of bullet chess.
Known for a bullet record with almost as many wins as losses (3,692 to 3,712) peppered with 188 dramatic draws, JoaoFrancisco88 is no stranger to the chaos of lightning-fast games. Their rapid and blitz results may not match the bullet frenzy, but their love for the game shines through, including a charming 1750 peak rapid rating achieved in early 2023. Daily chess? They tried, but the chessboard just moves too slow for their liking, with a brief peak at 1600 before focusing their speed on quicker games.
When it comes to openings, JoaoFrancisco88 has a mysterious favorite labeled "Top Secret" — which is code for "I mix it up and keep opponents guessing." However, they've shown promising success with the Van t Kruijs Opening boasting a 53.78% win rate and dabbling in the Pirc Defense family with mixed but fighting spirit.
Strategy and endurance characterize their style: an impressive 74.5% frequency of endgame play means JoaoFrancisco88 doesn’t just hustle for quick wins but is ready to grind and outplay opponents in long battles. Their psychological resilience is solid, with a "ComebackRate" of nearly 90% and a modest tilt factor of 13, meaning they keep a cool head even when the going gets tough (though they occasionally throw in a timely early resignation just to keep things interesting).
Fun fact: JoaoFrancisco88’s best time of day to play is at 3 AM — clearly a night owl who enjoys puzzling out mates when the world sleeps. Not to mention their moves per win average is a marathon-level 62 moves, showing a knack for epic duels that might outlast even the longest Netflix binge session.
