Anna (anulka1111111): The Night Owl of the Rapid Board
A Late Night Beginning
Anna, who competes under the username anulka1111111, first appeared on the chess scene in August 2021 with a bang. She played 90 rapid games in her very first month, touched 1003, and then settled into the long, steady climb that would define her career. Her early repertoire was delightfully odd: she opened with 1.e3 more than 40 times in her debut month before eventually falling in love with 1.e4. By 2023 she had crossed the 1000 barrier, and in August 2026 she reached her rapid peak of 1077.
A True Grinder's Mentality
Anna is a volume player in the best sense. She has played more than 1,400 rated rapid games, winning exactly 700 of them with only 67 draws. Her strength adjusted win rate hovers near 49.4%, and her career is a testament to persistence. Her longest winning streak is 10 games, but her longest losing streak is 22, and the fact that she kept showing up after both says everything about her mentality.
- Comeback rate: 63.79%
- Win rate after losing a piece: 43.34%
- Average first capture on move 5.7
- Best hour of the day: 23:00 with a 72.73% win rate
Anna is also an endgame warrior. More than half of her games reach the endgame, and her favorite checking piece is the queen. When she delivers the first check, she wins 61.28% of the time, and her early resignation rate is just 8.68%. She simply refuses to give up.
Signature Openings
Anna's opening choices are wonderfully unorthodox. Her most played line is the Amar Gambit, which she has played 178 times with a 55.62% win rate. She also loves the Amazon Attack with 67 games and a 58.21% score, and she handles the French Defense well with 88 games and 53.41%. The Scandinavian Defense and the Elephant Gambit also appear regularly in her games.
As White she wins 52.89% of the time, while as Black that number drops to 45.71%. The Blackburne Shilling Gambit has been her trickiest relationship: 108 games, only 35.19% wins, yet she keeps coming back to it. That loyalty is part of her charm.
Famous Rivalries
Every player needs a rival, and Anna has a memorable one. Against Eugeniusz Król she has played 154 rapid games and lost 146 of them, a rivalry so one sided that it borders on legendary. Yet she keeps returning to the board. Against MegaDobrySzachista the story flips completely: 56 wins in 94 games. She is also undefeated against kamilsdg with 18 wins and 3 draws, while Igor Musiał has beaten her 11 times in 12 meetings. Against ola0057 she has 30 wins in 49 games.
Beyond Rapid
Rapid is clearly her home, but Anna has flashed serious talent in faster time controls too. Her bullet rating once reached 1714, and her blitz peak hit 1361, including a perfect 10-0 blitz month in January 2023. Still, her heart belongs to rapid, where she has built one of the most persistent, entertaining, and hard fought profiles on the site.
