Elizabeth Rodríguez (a.k.a. Caqueti): The Queen of Comebacks and Occasional Resigns
Elizabeth Rodríguez, known in the chess world as Caqueti, is a rapid-fire player whose journey on the 64 squares has been a rollercoaster of clever wins, hard-fought losses, and the odd early resignation (about 8% of the time, but who’s counting?). With a peak rapid rating of 1208 achieved back in the summer of 2022, Elizabeth has shown both fighting spirit and a flair for bouncing back—boasting an impressive 72.68% comeback rate. When losing pieces, she still manages to win 40.55% of the time, proving that giving up is an option she rarely takes (except, you know, sometimes).
Her chess style is patient and persistent: she averages around 53 moves per win, enjoying the deep trenches of the endgame (appearing in nearly 44% of her games). Whether playing White or Black, her success rates are remarkably balanced (around 45%), but it’s her strategic choices that really paint her portrait.
Opening Repertoire Highlights
- Saragossa Opening: Elizabeth’s bread and butter in rapid games with over 450 games played. Despite a nearly even split between wins and losses, she maintains a respectable 44.74% win rate here.
- King’s Pawn Opening (and its variations): Favored aggressively, this opening nets her her highest win rate (54.02%) and shows her preference for classic, opener battles.
- Queen’s Pawn Opening: With nearly equal love and bruises, it’s a notable part of her daily and rapid repertoire.
Elizabeth’s recent games reveal she’s no stranger to sharp positions and tactical scrambles. Whether delivering clean checkmates or coaxing opponents into resignation, her resilience shines. For example, on May 31, 2025, she secured a victory against AbuelaBillie by resignation after a complicated battle in the King's Pawn, King's Knight Variation.
Other Fun Facts
- Psychological trends: Like most mortals, Elizabeth wrestles a little “tilt” (22%), but hey, who doesn’t after losing a bishop to an unexpected fork?
