Barchinoy Shokirjonova (benignaaa)
Woman FIDE Master & Chess Dynamo
Meet Barchinoy Shokirjonova, better known in the chess world by the username benignaaa. An unstoppable force on the 64 squares, she proudly carries the Woman FIDE Master title – a badge earned through grit, talent, and more than a few spectacular queen sacrifices.
From a fiery start with a blitz rating of 587 in early 2022, Barchinoy has rocketed up the ladder, smashing a personal peak blitz rating of 2422 in April 2025 and reaching an impressive bullet peak of 2186. That’s like transforming from a chesslet to a knight in shining armor!
Her blitz record boasts a tough but triumphant tally of 287 wins, 200 losses, and 48 draws. If quick thinking were an Olympic sport, she'd have more gold than Magnus Carlsen — or at least a slightly shinier trophy. Bullet chess? She’s not just fast; she’s lightning-fast with 115 wins against only 38 losses.
Known for a tactical awareness that houses an incredible 85.57% comeback rate, Barchinoy is practically the Houdini of the chessboard. Lose a piece? Don’t sweat it—there's a better than 55% chance she’ll still snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Also, with a tilt factor of just 7, she’s the chess equivalent of a calm sea in a storm—no tantrums over blunders.
She prefers the thrill of the endgame, appearing in nearly 78% of her matches—talk about stamina! Don't expect her to resign early either; she fights to the bitter end, squeezing every drop of chess juice out of every game. On average, her wins span almost 71 moves, proving that she’s in it for the long strategic haul.
If you ever catch her playing around 7 PM (her personal best time), be ready for fireworks—her win rate rockets up to 100% in that hour! She’s also a cunning strategist when playing White, boasting a 60.76% win rate, while her Black pieces don’t just sit, they conquer with a solid 55.62% success rate.
Barchinoy is a master of mystery openings, racking up over 450 blitz games with an over 55% win rate, weaving her magic beyond the usual Ruy Lopez or French Defense. When she does dabble in known openings, her performance is a delightful mix of dazzling wins and tough lessons.

If you ever find yourself facing her across the board, remember: it’s not just a game, it’s a blitzstorm led by benignaaa.
