Svetlana Vishnjakova - Woman FIDE Master

Svetlana Vishnjakova, also known in some circles as CherySI, is a formidable chess player with the esteemed title of Woman FIDE Master. With a reputation for resilience and tactical ingenuity, Svetlana dances across the board with an impressive mix of strategy and psychology.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for rarely surrendering early — with an early resignation rate of just 3.73% — Svetlana prefers to fight through the endgame, engaging in nearly 78% of her games at this critical phase. When she wins, she enjoys long, thoughtful duels, averaging nearly 69 moves per victory, often pushing her opponents to the brink of mental exhaustion.

Her white pieces role brings her slightly more luck, boasting a 61% win rate compared to almost 59% with the black pieces. And when life throws her a curveball by losing a piece, Svetlana’s 100% win rate after such setbacks proves she’s not your average opponent — more like a phoenix rising from the ashes!

Competitive Record

With over a thousand blitz games under her belt in 2021 alone, Svetlana’s blitz win rate hovers around a strong 60%, while her rapid performance tops nearly 62%. Bullet chess? She’s no slouch there either, maintaining a solid win rate above 56%. Her longest winning streak is an impressive 11 games, though her current streak may be at zero, proving that every chess warrior faces the occasional cliffhanger.

A Mind for the Times

Svetlana’s playing clock seems finely tuned to the rhythms of the day. She has an especially strong performance on Sundays, winning almost 75% of her games — proof that weekend warriors can outplay the best! Night owls beware: Svetlana’s victory rate peaks after midnight, with an 83% win rate at 0:00 hours, and a perfect 100% at 22:00. Clearly, her brain likes to checkmate under moonlight.

Personality on the Board

Her tilt factor of 8 suggests she sometimes feels the pressure, but it only makes her more dangerous — harnessing emotions to fuel her comeback rate of over 85%. Opponents might think they have the upper hand, but Svetlana's resilience and psychological savvy often flip the tables, coining her reputation as the comeback queen.

Fun Fact

Playing under the mysterious opening "Top Secret", she has crushed opponents more than 60% of the time across bullet, blitz, and rapid formats. If you ask around, many suspect Svetlana has some magical chess potion brewed somewhere — or simply a knack for keeping secrets on and off the board.

With a dynamic approach, relentless spirit, and a title to prove it, Svetlana Vishnjakova continues to challenge, entertain, and outwit chess opponents worldwide — one secret move at a time.
