A Journey Through The Modes

- Bullet: Pacobecerra’s bullet adventures are fewer and fiercer, with a memorable peak at 968, followed by a steep drop. Still, the tenacity remains, and who needs bullet speed when you have wit?
- Blitz: Similar story here: a max rating of 912 in 2022 sliding to a more modest 223 in 2025. Blitz games have been equally challenging, but pacobecerra’s spirit hasn’t flickered.

Playing Style and Quirks
With an early resignation rate close to 17%, pacobecerra isn't afraid to cut losses and learn from quickly identifying when a position is beyond redemption – smart! Endgames happen fairly often (nearly 39%), so the player is not shy about grinding it out even when things get tough. The average moves per win (41) versus loss (45) suggest hard-fought battles that rarely end quickly.
Interestingly, the win rate when playing White is about 46.3%, slightly better than with Black at 43.5%. A little edge, but nothing too flashy — just steady and dependable.
Tactical Awareness & Resilience
Pacobecerra has an impressive comeback rate of ~47%, showing an ability to bounce back after setbacks. The nearly 100% win rate after losing a piece is borderline unbelievable and might just hint at some secret trickery (or opponents underestimating the underdog). The one-sided loss rate of 23% indicates there are moments when the chess gods smile against him.
Psychological Highlights
With a tilt factor of 16%, the player experiences frustration but keeps it in check. The large difference in winning rated vs casual games (45% higher win rate in rated games) suggests pacobecerra thrives when stakes are high — nothing like a little pressure to bring out the best moves (or blunders)!
Opponent Fun Facts
Pacobecerra boasts a perfect 100% win record over quite a few opponents — so watch out if you're on that list! Yet, there are those tricky rivals where the win rate drops to zero. Everyone needs a nemesis, after all.
In Summary
In a nutshell, Francisco Becerra Fernandez is a passionate chess player with ups and downs that would make a soap opera jealous, but with evident grit, tactical cunning, and a cheeky sense of humor. If chess were a marathon, pacobecerra is the runner who stumbles, jogs, sprints, and occasionally does a victory dance — all part of the grand game!
