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.

Feedback for Anna Andrzejewska
Anna, your recent games show a solid understanding of key opening principles and strategic ideas, along with several positive aspects and opportunities for growth:
Strengths
- Opening Knowledge: You demonstrate good knowledge of several openings including the Sicilian Defense, Italian Game, and Scandinavian Defense. You understand the importance of rapid development and central control, as seen consistently across your games.
- Active Piece Play: You frequently position your pieces actively, for example, leveraging bishops and knights well to control important squares and putting pressure on your opponents’ positions.
- Calculation and Tactics: Your games highlight strong tactical shots, including exchanges and winning material (such as the well-executed piece sacrifices in the Kings Pawn Opening and your ability to create threats leading to resignations).
- Endgame Technique: In your wins, you show patience and good technique in converting advantages without rushing, especially in complicated positions.
Areas for Improvement
- Time Management: In a few losses, time pressure played a role. Try to allocate your time carefully so that you have enough to evaluate critical positions, especially in the middle game. Practicing increment time controls and using your clock as a strategic resource can help.
- Opening Consistency: Although your repertoire is broad, sometimes inaccuracies in early moves create weaknesses (as seen in some Sicilian lines). Focusing on mastering a few openings more deeply can improve your confidence and reduce early game errors.
- Positional Awareness: While your tactics and attacking moves are strong, deepening your understanding of positional concepts—pawn structure weaknesses, strong vs. weak squares, and long-term planning—will help you maintain and increase pressure even if immediate tactics are unavailable.
- Defensive Techniques: When you fall behind or face complex positions, working on your defensive play and calculation under pressure may help you hold difficult games more often and avoid unnecessary losses.
- Endgame Study: Although your technique is good, targeted study of common endgame patterns could transform more drawn or unclear endgames into wins.
Recommended Next Steps
- Review your most recent losses and look for recurring themes, especially in the opening moves and time pressure moments.
- Focus training on one or two openings to deepen your knowledge and reduce early inaccuracies. For example, you might choose the Sicilian Defense or the Italian Game as your main repertoire.
- Practice middle-game tactics regularly to keep up your sharpness, but also integrate positional chess books or videos about pawn structures and strategic planning.
- Train playing with increment time controls to improve time management skills.
- Consider solving endgame studies weekly, focusing on elementary and rook endgames to improve conversion skills.
Overall, your progress is impressive, and with focused improvement in these areas, you will continue to climb and enjoy your chess journey.
Keep up the great work, and feel free to ask for game analysis or help with specific positions!
