Antonin Ferey, Known Online as komogro
Antonin Ferey, who plays online under the username komogro, is a FIDE Candidate Master with a clear specialty: fast, complicated chess. Blitz is his natural habitat, where decisions arrive quickly and the clock occasionally behaves like a second opponent.
A Rapid Rise in Blitz
Ferey’s blitz career has developed dramatically since his early games in 2018. After returning to serious online activity, he climbed from the 1900s in 2022 to the 2500 range in 2023 and beyond. His recorded peak blitz rating reached 2737 in June 2026, a fitting milestone for a player who appears to regard “one more game” as a perfectly reasonable plan at any hour.
Opening Personality
Ferey’s opening repertoire is broad, inventive, and occasionally mischievous. As Black, he frequently turns to the Modern Defense, while the Sicilian Defense and King's Indian Attack also feature prominently in his games. The statistics suggest particular comfort with the King's Indian Attack and some sharply unconventional gambit ideas.
His results also reveal a practical player who is willing to test unusual positions rather than spend the opening trying to make the chessboard look perfectly symmetrical. That approach can create both brilliant wins and memorable complications, which is rather the point in blitz.
Fighting Qualities
Across the recorded games, Ferey shows a strong comeback rate and a willingness to keep fighting after losing material. His games average more than 80 moves in several recent seasons, suggesting that he is not easily persuaded to leave the board early. His longest winning streak was 12 games, while his longest losing streak reached 9, proof that blitz can turn from orchestra to fire alarm with very little warning.
- Most common checking piece: the queen
- Comeback rate: 87.4%
- Recorded blitz wins: 1,432
- Recorded blitz draws: 258
Beyond Blitz
Although blitz is his preferred time control, Ferey has also produced a strong rapid record, with 21 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw in the available statistics. Bullet is more volatile, as one might expect from chess played at roughly the speed of a startled squirrel, but it has still delivered notable peaks and memorable tactical battles.
Profile Summary
Antonin Ferey is a Candidate Master whose chess profile combines endurance, tactical resilience, and a taste for unusual opening territory. Whether developing a position with the Modern Defense or launching into a fast tactical struggle, komogro brings the energy of a player who would rather ask difficult questions than settle for quiet answers.
