Beatriz Frattini (biaf13)
Woman Candidate Master, Chess.com Gladiator
Meet Beatriz Frattini, a titled chess warrior proudly bearing the badge of Woman Candidate Master from FIDE. Known online as biaf13, she’s a formidable opponent who turns pawns into legends and endgames into epic finales.
Beatriz’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of triumphs, battles, and the occasional "oops" moment—all played with gusto under various time controls. From blitz marathons to the nail-biting speed of bullet games, she’s collected over 3,300 wins across formats, proving her resilience and strategic prowess. Her blitz peak rating soared to a stunning 2204 in April 2022, while her bullet rating reached an impressive 2258 just days earlier—chess lightning with a side of endurance!
Known for a comeback rate of over 82%, Beatriz rarely throws in the towel without a fight. Even after losing a piece, she wins nearly half the time—a testament to her tactical awareness and determination to wrangle victory from the jaws of defeat. But don’t let that fighting spirit fool you; she also sports a 14% tilt factor—a charming reminder that even chess champions can get a little feisty when things go sideways.
Her games often stretch into the deep waters of the endgame, with an average of 70+ moves per win, proving that Beatriz likes to savor the strategic battles till the very last square. She enjoys wielding the white pieces slightly better, with a white win rate of 52.7%, but black pieces are no slouch either, clocking in over 51% wins.
Style & Strategies
Beatriz approaches the game with a ninja-like blend of patience and tactical ferocity. Her favorite openings remain clandestine ("Top Secret," if you will), but she excels most with unknown openings, maintaining a win rate above 50% in blitz and bullet. Rapid and daily games show a more measured style, with solid results and calculated maneuvers keeping her opponents on their toes.
According to her stats, Beatriz’s best time to play is the early morning hours—6 AM sharp—when she probably finds that critical balance of coffee and clarity. Her winning streak peaked at an impressive 13 consecutive games, while she’s endured a few rough patches too, battling through a longest losing streak of 14. But as they say in chess and life: it’s all about the comebacks.
Recent Battles
In her most recent victory, Beatriz showcased her mastery of the Ruy Lopez Morphy Defense, stunning her opponent with a checkmate after a fiercely contested tactical dance. Her losses and wins come on the back of tension-filled moments, thrilling watch-worthy games that only a dedicated chess addict could truly appreciate.
Whether blitzing through sub-3-minute games or plotting meticulously in daily matches, Beatriz Frattini proves that chess isn’t just a game—it’s an art form, a battlefield, and sometimes, a hilarious journey full of “Wait, what?!” moments and triumphant grins.
