Anna Warakomska WGM

Anna Warakomska - Woman Grandmaster (WGM)

Meet Anna Warakomska, better known in the chess circles and on the digital battlefield as awarak. Holding the prestigious title of Woman Grandmaster granted by FIDE, Anna is a formidable force on the 64 squares, armed with brains, nerves of steel, and a streak of brilliance that makes her games a joy to watch (especially if you’re rooting for her).

Anna’s blitz games are a rollercoaster of precision and fireworks, peaking at an astonishing 2504 rating in February 2022! She’s no stranger to rapid or daily formats either, holding classy peaks of 1722 and 1966 respectively. Bullet chess fans might notice it’s a trickier beast for her, but hey, even the best sometimes fumble when the clock ticks too fast. Don’t count her out though: her win rates, especially in blitz (around 58.5%), prove she’s got both strategy and speed under control.

Known for a patient, endgame-heavy approach, Anna’s games often last on average over 68 moves when victorious, showing she’s in it for the long haul, like a chess marathon runner who sprints at the perfect moment. Her psychological resilience is impressive — she’s famous for incredible comebacks, winning over 75% of her games where she was behind on material. Against adversity, she practically smiles and says, “Is that all you got?”

When not plotting intricate combinations or outmaneuvering opponents, Anna enjoys experimenting with Unknown Openings — or as she might call them, “creative chaos.” It’s a tactic that’s paid off handsomely with a win rate around 58-70% across different time controls. Just don’t ask her about that one mysterious “Top Secret” opening that showed up once and promptly lost... some mysteries remain untold.

Her consistency varies by time of day, with mornings (especially 8 AM) being her optimal brain-chess zone. If you challenge her at midnight, be prepared for a fight — those hours show more swings in results! Anna’s longest winning streak clocks in at a solid 9 wins, impressive for someone who plays seriously and won’t resign early — she never quits early and loves a good fight in the trenches.

Recent Highlights

Just a few months ago, Anna executed a beautiful Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense (ECO C65) in a live blitz battle against opponent Oliver5053, ending in superior tactical dominance and a graceful resignation. The game lasted intense moves, showcasing her mastery in strategic positioning and precise calculation.

Of course, no champion’s path is without hiccups. Anna faced a tough checkmate defeat in March 2023, showing that even grandmasters have their “off days” — but rest assured, she bounced back quicker than a knight on c3!

Whether it’s blitz, rapid, or daily chess, Anna Warakomska brings passion, fight, and a dash of humor to the game. She’s the opponent you want in your corner and the player everyone respects across the chessboard.
