Alessia D'Avena (AleDav97)
Meet Alessia D'Avena, a passionate chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Alessia's strongest suit is Rapid chess, where she's played nearly 300 games since 2023. With a peak Rapid rating around 879 and an average hovering around the 500 mark, Alessia proves that in chess, it's not only about skill but stamina — bouncing between brilliant wins and the occasional "oops" moments.
Alessia’s playstyle reflects a patient strategist: she loves lengthy battles, typically winning in about 50 moves and persevering through losses that tend to drag beyond 60 moves. She's not one to quit early, resigning less than 3% of the time — true resilience on display! Falling behind a piece? Worry not — Alessia masters comebacks with a 63% recovery rate and an unbelievable 100% win rate after losing a piece, making her opponents sweat.
When it comes to openings, she's no one-trick pony. With her trusty King's Pawn Opening and the less conventionally glamorous Owens Defense, Alessia keeps opponents guessing and wins over half those games. Her favorite defenses like the French and Caro-Kann yield winning streaks that would make any dogmatic player nod in respect.
Alessia's blitz games are comparatively few but fiery — a quick match can see her tirelessly outmaneuver rivals, even if sometimes luck isn't on her side yet. And daily chess? Well, that one game at a high rating of 1097 may have ended in a loss, but hey, that's how legends are made.
A late riser or early bird? Alessia shines in the evenings and early mornings, crushing games between 7 AM (87.5% win rate, lucky time!) and 11 PM (a perfect 100% win rate — who knew?). Saturdays and Thursdays look especially promising for her chess ventures.
Noteworthy is Alessia's impressive track record against a mix of opponents; she boasts flawless wins against several challengers and holds her own against frequent sparring partners. Despite a modest tilt factor (6%), she keeps her cool and keeps on playing — because in her world, every chess piece deserves its moment to shine.
All in all, Alessia D'Avena is a player who embraces the challenges and thrills of chess with a smile, a few unexpected moves, and a relentless hunger to learn and win.
