Anna Afonasieva (annazero) - Woman International Master
Meet Anna Afonasieva, better known in the chess world as annazero. A fierce competitor with the prestigious title of Woman International Master awarded by FIDE, Anna's chess journey is nothing short of impressive. From bullet bouts to rapid duels, she has consistently proven her mettle across all time controls.
Starting with humble beginnings, Anna’s bullet rating skyrocketed from a modest 1374 in 2018 to an astounding 2489 by 2025. Fun fact: her comeback rate is an amazing 90.18%, and if she loses a piece, she bounces back with a 100% win rate—a true chess phoenix rising from the ashes!
Her style? Patient and deep. While many players run out of moves, Anna averages over 76 moves per win, showing her love for the long game and endgame mastery. With an endgame frequency of over 82%, if the game drags, fear not—Anna is right in her element.
Armed with a tactical sharpness that makes opponents shudder, Anna once held an incredible longest winning streak of 13 games—that’s not luck, that’s determination (and maybe a bit of chess magic). Although her psychological tilt factor is a manageable 11, she'd rather let her moves do the talking than her mood swings.
Off the board, she's known for playing chess like a secret agent—her openings performance is discreetly classified as "Top Secret", with a solid win rate hovering around 45-52% across all time controls.
When asked about her toughest opponents, Anna has had mixed fortunes: some she’s crushed (like the_unico_punto with a flawless 100% win rate), others have been pesky challengers (looking at you, saisrivardhan with a 0% win rate!). But hey, chess is about learning and having fun, right?
Whether you catch her playing blitz at 10 AM with a win rate north of 52% or conquering bullet battles late into the night with a lightning-fast pace, Anna is a player who balances skill, grit, and charm.
Simply put, Anna Afonasieva is chess wrapped in mystery, sprinkled with grit, and served with a winning smile. If you fancy challenging her, be ready for a battle—you might just be playing against someone who never truly says "checkmate" until the last second.
