Woman International Master - The Queen of Comebacks

Meet Boshra Alshaeby, a formidable chess player who doesn't just move pieces — she moves mountains on the board! Awarded the prestigious title of Woman International Master by FIDE, Boshra is known for her relentless spirit and tactical wizardry. If you ever find yourself ahead against her, beware — her 91.43% comeback rate proves she's a master at turning tides when the chips are down!

Rating Rollercoaster & Stats

Boshra's blitz rating peaked impressively at 2342 in January 2025, proving she's a speed-chess sprinter. Her rapid play maxed out at 2052 back in 2020, and her bullet rating soared to 2067 in late 2022.

While her blitz win rate hovers at around 32% (hey, nobody’s perfect!), she dominates in rapid chess with a sharp 51.43% win rate over 35 games. Bullet? Well, that’s a work in progress at 16.67% — but who’s counting in a game played in under a minute?

Playing Style & Quirks

Boshra has an unusually low early resignation rate of 4.44% — she rarely throws in the towel, even when things look grim. In fact, she thrives in long, drawn-out endgames, participating in them a whopping 83.5% of the time. Expect an average of 77 moves per win, so settle in for a real battle.

Interestingly, Black pieces seem to be her lucky charm with a success rate of over 40%, slightly better than when she plays White. Maybe her secret weapon is the subtle art of counter-attacking!

The Mental Game

With a psychological tilt factor of only 6, Boshra stays cool under pressure — that is, unless a losing streak stretches past six games (her longest recorded), then even she feels the heat. But fear not! Her best hour to strike is 7 AM (chess is clearly a morning sport for her), where she boasts a perfect 100% win rate. Coffee and chess: a combo that works wonders.

Memorable Victories & Challenges

One of her latest triumphs came in a blitz game on February 4, 2025, where she forced her opponent to resign in a graceful dance of queens and knights — ending in a classic Queen's Gambit Declined battle. Conversely, even the greats have off days; her recent losses in March 2025 remind us that chess is as humbling as it is thrilling.

Opponent Highlights

She has tangled most often with “chesscomar” (5 games), though her win rate against this rival is just a humble 20%. Against several lesser-known contenders like “chesstankman11” and “sallyabbas18”, she’s perfected a flawless 100% win rate — a true champion in her own arena.

Fun Fact

Boshra's comeback prowess is so impressive that she wins nearly 40% of the games even after losing a piece early on. To put it kindly: She’s the Houdini of the chessboard, turning blunders into brilliance.

In summary, Boshra Alshaeby is not just a player with a title, but a tactician, a strategist, and a comeback queen who proves that in chess, it's never over until the final move. So, if you meet bushrashuaibi online, prepare for a fight and maybe a story of a miraculous comeback!

You've been demonstrating solid play in your recent games, showing good understanding of key opening principles and strong tactical awareness, especially in your wins. Here are some detailed points to help you further improve your skills:

  • Tactical Awareness: From your recent wins, you capitalize on tactical opportunities well, such as timely exchanges and creating threats that force your opponents into passive positions or resignations.
  • Endgame Technique: In your victories, you maintain pressure and convert advantages confidently, indicating good practical endgame knowledge.

Areas for Improvement

  • Handling Pressure in Defense: In some losses, opponents managed to seize the initiative, especially in complex middlegames. Focus on improving your defensive skills and evaluating counterplay options more critically.
  • Time Management: A few games show moments where time pressure might have been a factor. Practice managing your clock efficiently to avoid rushed decisions in critical positions.
  • Strategic Planning: While your tactical vision is strong, deepening your positional understanding can help you make plans that avoid unnecessary complications and improve your consistency against higher-rated opponents.

Specific Suggestions

  • Review key moments from your recent loss against dobrosmys (see the game here) where you lost material after a sequence of exchanges. Analyze alternative defensive moves to enhance resilience.
  • Study thematic pawn breaks and piece maneuvers in the Scandinavian Defense, as this is a frequent opening in your games, to build stronger strategic plans in the middlegame.
  • Keep practicing tactics puzzles regularly to maintain sharpness in spotting tactical motifs like forks, pins, and discovered attacks, which you’ve executed well in your wins.

Overall, you're on a great path with strong fundamentals and tactical sharpness. By focusing on deeper strategic understanding and improving defensive play, you can reach the next level in your competitive games. Keep up the hard work and enjoy the journey!
