Farid Firmansyah - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Farid Firmansyah, aka lasayon, a chess force who’s climbed the ranks with the finesse of a rook slicing through pawns and the cunning of a knight on a stealth mission. Awarded the prestigious title of International Master by FIDE, Farid doesn’t just play chess; they put on a tactical symphony every time the clock ticks.
Farid’s journey is nothing short of a chess thriller — from humble blitz beginnings with ratings around 1050 in 2015, they skyrocketed to a blitz peak of 2707 by 2020. Their bullet rating? An eye-popping 2681 max, making rapid-fire games look like a walk in the park. And rapid? While fewer games, Farid still showcases solid skills with a max rating of 2377.
Their style? A cunning blend of patience and explosiveness. Farid’s games average over 70 moves, proving that patience is a virtue—even if they don't mind packing a punch in the endgame (played 77.73% of games). With a spectacular comeback win rate nearing 89% and a flawless record after losing a piece (yes, 100% win rate!), Farid turns setbacks into spectacular comebacks with the flair of a grandmaster magician.
Don’t be fooled by their occasional tilt factor of 9—after a few frustrating moves, Farid bounces back harder than ever. Their longest winning streak is an impressive 16 games, proving that once they’re on fire, extinguishing that blaze is nearly impossible.
Opponents beware: Farid’s chess opening is “Top Secret” – literally – dominating over 1,000 games across blitz, bullet, and rapid with win rates exceeding 57%. When playing White, Farid boasts a 63% win rate, and even with Black, they hold their ground with a solid 56%. The sharpest swords they face? Some have been vanquished with 100% success, while a few pesky foes still remain thorny.
Whether it's blitzing at 9AM, when their win rate peaks at 67%, or grinding it out deep into the night with a 70% win rate at midnight, Farid adapts and conquers. Chess players hoping to crack their defense should bring more than just opening theory—they’ll need luck, nerves, and maybe a good chess joke or two.
In summary: Farid Firmansyah is not just a player. They’re a whirlwind of strategy, speed, and sporadic humor, constantly rewriting the rules of the 64-square battlefield. A title, countless wins, and a reputation for turning losing positions into dazzling victories—Farid embodies the true spirit of chess mastery.
