Anita Gara (aka Angiechess83)

Meet Anita Gara, a force to be reckoned with on the 64 squares, proudly carrying the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. Anita’s chess career reads like a thrilling novel, peppered with tactical brilliance, strategic depth, and a dash of relentless grit.

Not your average player, Anita’s gameplay style is a beautiful contradiction: patient yet aggressive, calculated but capable of stunning comebacks — boasting an impressive 74.19% comeback rate! Early resignation? That’s not in Anita’s vocabulary; after all, the endgame is where she truly shines, showing up nearly 80% of the time and averaging a marathon-like 67 moves per win. Who needs short games when you can outwit, outplay, and outlast?

Rated battles tell a tale of dominance, especially in blitz chess where Anita reached a peak rating of a heart-thumping 2402 in March 2020. Whether it’s rapid, blitz, or bullet, expect a strategic ballet full of cunning moves and surprising twists—winning around 70.8% of her blitz games and a perfect 100% win rate in bullet openings. Anita also appears to enjoy a good challenge, holding her own against a variety of opponents, carefully crafting her wins with an analytical mind and a rigorous preparation.

But chess is not just about ratings and victories. Sometimes it’s about timing — Anita’s best playing hour is 10 PM, suggesting she likes to crush opponents when the rest of the world is winding down. Perhaps it's the sweet spot where the brain’s night owl wakes up, or the coffee finally kicks in. Whatever the case, do not schedule a game with her after dinner!

Fun fact: Anita’s longest winning streak is a tidy 13 games, but her toughest streaks barely last two losses in a row — talk about a rollercoaster with very few dips. The white pieces bring a slight advantage (winning 61.5% of the time), but the black pieces aren’t left sulking either, boasting an even better win rate of 65.2%. Clearly, no matter the color, Anita is there to hustle.

In her most recent victory on August 22, 2020, against "Charlizevz," Anita sealed the win with a graceful resignation from the opponent — a sign of respect or sheer inevitability? You be the judge.

Anita Gara is more than just a player; she’s a chess adventurer, navigating the complexities of the game with wit, resilience, and a spirit that refuses to fold. And she does it all with a username that might hint at her playful side: Angiechess83. A perfect blend of skill and personality — just don’t be surprised if she outplays you before you even finish your coffee.
