Anna Andrzejewska (anspiracje) - Woman Candidate Master
Meet Anna Andrzejewska, a seasoned and titled chess player who proudly holds the Woman Candidate Master title from FIDE. With an impressive journey through the realms of Blitz, Bullet, Rapid, and Daily chess, Anna has proven herself a formidable opponent on multiple fronts.
Anna's chess story is one of persistence, strategy, and a passion for the game that borders on addictive. Starting with a Blitz rating just over 1000 in early 2017, she steadily climbed the ranks, peaking at a stunning 2119 in November 2024, a testament to her dedication and improving skill. Her Bullet rating isn’t too shabby either, reaching an impressive 1872 in early 2025.
Known for a resilient tactical awareness, Anna boasts a remarkable comeback rate of nearly 85%, often turning dire positions into victorious outcomes — essentially, the chess equivalent of a phoenix rising from the ashes. Her win rate after losing a piece is nearly 48%, showing she never admits defeat too easily.
Her playing style is as methodical as a grandmaster’s symphony, featuring an average of 69 moves per win, which means she loves deep, well-fought battles. Anna’s games often end in resignation with good reason — her opponents know when it's time to fold because she’s already showcasing mastery on the board.
When it comes to openings, Anna likes to mix classical with spicy flavors. Her go-to weapons in Blitz include the Scotch Game’s Scotch Gambit Dubois-Reti Advance Variation, where she holds a solid 52.6% win rate, and the Caro-Kann Defense Classical Variation, boasting an impressive near 69% success rate. She’s no stranger to the Sicilian Defense either, favoring both the Open Najdorf and the Accelerated Dragon Modern Variation — bringing both fire and flexibility.
On the psychological battlefield, Anna admits her "tilt factor" is a modest 10 — meaning while she plays serious chess, she’s human enough to chuckle over a blunder or two, dust off, and keep charging forward. Her best times to play? Post-midnight, around 2 a.m., when the world sleeps and only warriors like Anna sharpen their minds.
Off the board, Anna might surprise you with her lighter side. Despite her fierce playing style, she has been known to celebrate a good blunder recovery with a wry smile and the occasional chess joke that only true enthusiasts get — like whether a knight is really just a horse with trust issues.
