Anahita Gholami Orimi

Woman International Master (WIM)

Meet Anahita Gholami Orimi, a formidable force on the chessboard and a proud holder of the Woman International Master title from FIDE. Known by her username Anahita_Gholami, she maneuvers pieces with a mix of calculated precision and lightning-fast intuition—especially in Bullet chess, where her peak rating soared to an astonishing 3124 in early 2019. Talk about a blitz queen!

With a battalion of over 4,600 Bullet games under her belt, Anahita has tasted the sweet thrill of victory 2,217 times, fought off defeat 2,233 times, and shared a stalemate or draw 205 times, proving she's no stranger to the ups and downs of the chess rollercoaster. In Blitz, too, she shines brightly with a peak rating of 2812, not to mention a respectable 2727 peak in Daily games where her strategic depth really gets to stretch its legs.

Playing Style

Anahita's style is that of a true gladiator: not one to give up easily, she sports a remarkable 82% comeback rate after losing material, and isn’t afraid to grind out long endgames—averaging almost 78 moves per win. While she prefers to wear White with a near 50% win rate, she’s comfortably fierce as Black, too, holding her own and then some.

Opening Repertoire Highlights

• Bullet Favorites: The King's Fianchetto Opening leads her win rate with a solid 56.56% success, closely followed by the Van ‘t Kruijs Opening and Reti King's Indian Attack Symmetrical Defense, both hovering above 50% win rates. She also routinely challenges opponents with the Mieses and Queens Pawn openings.
• Blitz Specialist: Known for tactical flair, Anahita excels with the Grunfeld Defense Exchange Variation boasting a mighty 75% win rate and the Ruy Lopez Morphy Defense’s Columbus and Arkhangelsk Variations where she holds around 66% win rates.
• Daily Delights: Versatility shines as she remains undefeated (100% win rate) in some less trodden lines like the Queens Pawn Opening Krause Variation and Scotch Game Schmidt Mieses Variation.

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Anahita's longest winning streak is a staggering 62 games — yes, 62! Meanwhile, she’s experienced a brief rollercoaster with a longest losing streak capped at 19.
• Her best hour to play and conquer? Around 8 PM — apparently, Anahita’s tactical neurons light up brightest when most are winding down.
• Despite the fierce battles, she’s barely ever early to resign, with a modest early resignation rate of just under 4%—she fights till the last pawn.
• Psychologically, she’s quite the warrior, keeping tilt low (at 19 on the tilt factor scale), proving resilience is part of her game.

Recent Memorable Games

In her latest 2019 bullet triumph against shnitez, Anahita demonstrated strategic mastery in the English Opening (Agincourt Defense), culminating in a graceful resignation by her opponent.
Earlier that day, she executed a brilliant checkmate victory in a quick 15-move duel on the Mieses Opening, reminding all that sometimes the fastest victory is the sweetest.

Of course, not every encounter is a victory dance. April 2019's game versus Sanan Sjugirov ended in a loss by resignation against high-caliber opposition, showcasing that even the best warriors meet their match sometimes.
