Bianka Havanecz (chessbia) - Woman International Master
Bianka Havanecz, known on the chessboard and the internet as chessbia, is a formidable Woman International Master (WIM) who has taken the chess world by storm with a rating that dances just under the 2500 mark in Bullet chess - a speed that would make even Houdini sweat!
Starting her blitz career with modest ratings around 1985 in 2015, Bianka has shown a meteoric rise, flirting with a peak Blitz rating of 2456 and Bullet peak above 2500, proving she not only survives but thrives in the frantic world of fast chess. Her consistent performance reveals a mind sharp as a bishop’s diagonal slash, with a notable comeback rate of over 60% after facing setbacks, and an impressive ability to win even after losing pieces - clearly a master of making lemonade out of lemons, or in chess terms, turning pawns into queens.
Not many can boast a 59-game longest winning streak; Bianka’s smile must have been as wide as a grandmaster’s grin during that run. She is a tactician and strategist, averaging around 50 moves per game, embracing complexity and endurance rather than quick checkmates.
Her style shows slight preference for white, winning roughly 54% of games with the opening move, but black pieces don’t scare her either with a respectable win rate exceeding 51%. Early resignations happen, but less than 40% of her games, so Bianka is clearly not one to give up without a fight.
Beyond raw numbers, Bianka’s psychological resilience stands out, managing tilt fairly well with a low tilt factor of 19, and bravely taking on opponents repeatedly, including familiar rivals like “vegan4animals” and “sportyspice.” She’s not just a chess player - she’s a bulletstorm wrapped in a tactical enigma.
In the daily grind of online chess, Bianka enjoys steady wins and demonstrates remarkable rapid and blitz prowess. Whether it's bullet’s lightning-fast battles or thoughtful rapid duels, Bianka Havanecz is a name to remember - a masterful blend of speed, skill, and a hint of cheeky flair on the board.
Fun fact: If you think chess is slow, try catching Bianka’s queen before she strikes — spoiler: you probably can’t!
