Milan Franic: Master of the Chessboard
Milan Franic, known in the chess world as mfranic, is an International Master with a flair for blitz chess that could make even the toughest grandmasters sweat. With a peak blitz rating reaching an impressive 2533 in 2025, Milan has proven time and time again that speed and strategy are the perfect combination for success.
Starting out in 2012 with a modest blitz rating of 1403, Milan’s journey through the ranks resembles a thrilling chess game filled with tactical strikes, surprising comebacks (a nearly 90% comeback rate!), and a knack for accumulating wins by the bucketload—over 47,000 blitz victories to date! Not to mention an avid rapid and bullet player, though nothing beats the adrenaline rush of those lightning-fast moves over the proverbial clock.
Known for a rather cheeky psychological edge (a tilt factor of only 16, meaning Milan doesn’t throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble), and an astonishing 100% win rate after losing a piece—yes, a full point from a setback! One-sided losses are rare, occurring less than 2% of the time, showing Milan’s fighting spirit.
Milan’s playing style tilts heavily toward deep endgames, with over 80% endgame frequency, and has a refined patience reflected in an average win taking about 72 moves. White pieces have yielded around 61% victories, black pieces nearly 56%, showing balanced prowess no matter the color.
A glance at Milan’s opponent records shows a mix of fierce rivals and friendly foes. With some opponents never winning a game, and some Milan beating more than 70% of the time, the chessboard is both a battlefield and a playground. Milan’s opening repertoire remains a closely guarded secret—fit for spies and grandmasters alike!
Milan also has a streaky side: the longest winning streak hits a whopping 31 consecutive wins, and currently, Milan rides a comfortable three-game winning wave. Blitz games are played mostly on evenings and weekends, with a slight edge in winning during those late hours when the stars (and the opponent’s blunders) align.
All in all, Milan Franic embodies the essence of an International Master: fierce, focused, fun, and hardly predictable. When you face Milan across the board, get ready for a battle of wits where every pawn, knight, and queen can turn the tide—because in Milan’s world, it's always more than just a game.
