Rated at an estimated 2413 Elo, she plays at national-master to FIDE-master strength, rarely blundering and converting small advantages with the calm precision of someone used to long, quiet hours of focused observation. As White, she leans on classical principles and prefers the [Open Sicilian](/resources/openings/open-sicilian), her most-played line, supplemented by the Italian Game and the Ruy Lopez when opponents avoid 1...c5. Her repertoire tilts slightly off mainline theory, favouring positions she understands deeply over memorised novelties. Opponents can expect a composed, technically sound game where pressure builds gradually and tactical chances must be earned rather than gifted.","32","xZZAX","New Zealand","nz","9e571e11a4b7ca354aecf0acbea541fc81886c913a2dfae43b0bb81c30099e04","2026-07-06",2413,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Francis?","Francis Feather has an estimated rating of 2413 Elo, placing her in the national-master to FIDE-master range.
