Tatiana Duarte Brea (aka CoachTatiana)

Title: Woman International Master (WIM)

Tatiana Duarte Brea is a fierce competitor on the chessboard, holding the respected title of Woman International Master awarded by FIDE. Known in the chess world also by the username CoachTatiana, she’s a powerhouse who’s battled through thousands of blitz, rapid, and daily games with a fighting spirit and a tactical mind sharp enough to slice through the toughest defenses.

Chess Journey & Stats

From a promising blitz rating of 1868 in 2017, Tatiana quickly climbed up the rankings, peaking at a blitz rating of 2242 in February 2020. Her rapid peak stands proudly at 2164, reached in late 2017. Despite the intensity and speed of blitz games, Tatiana’s impressive win record of 202 wins against 163 losses and a modest number of draws proves that she’s a player who loves to fight until the last piece drops.

Her playing style? Endgame enthusiast! With an endgame frequency of over 77%, Tatiana loves squeezing victories out of tight endgames, usually in long battles averaging about 65 moves to win and even longer endurance in losses. She’s not one to resign early either, boasting a 0% early resignation rate — a real fighter till the last second. Comebacks are her forte, with an outstanding comeback rate of over 82%!

Psychology & Playing Hours

Don’t challenge Tatiana before 5 PM — that’s when her winning rate hits a perfect 100% (someone’s clearly a chess owl!). Her tilt factor is a humble 9, meaning she’s pretty resilient emotionally — but we all know even the best have their off games. Fun fact: she tends to dominate Fridays with a 65% win rate, but Saturdays are a little dicey with just 33% wins. Chessrest day, perhaps?

Recent Performance Highlights

Among her recent feats, a memorable victory came in a rapid game on September 1, 2020, where she outmaneuvered her opponent in a Sicilian Defense (Open Dragon Variation). She forced a resignation with precise and aggressive play, wrapping the game up in just 22 moves — quick, clean, and decisive.

Even losses don’t slow her down; Tatiana treats them as learning moments, with her very low one-sided loss rate (only 0.6%), showing she’s always in the fight.
