Minal Fatimah (aka Decidane)
Meet Minal Fatimah, affectionately known in the chess world as Decidane — a player whose blitz skills have ascended faster than most people’s caffeine intake during a tournament. Minal's journey through the ranks from a humble 670 blitz rating back in 2022 to a striking 1720 by 2025 is nothing short of a Grandmaster's spirit flirting with reality.
Known for a tactical brain with a 77.85% comeback rate (because who doesn’t love a good underdog story?), Minal boasts a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece — proving that sometimes, being a little down a pawn just lights the fire under her grandmaster ambitions. With an early resignation rate of just 2.38%, you can be sure Minal fights to the last move, averaging about 61 moves per win — plenty of drama and surprises packed into every game.
While her psychological tilt factor rests at a calm 16 (which means occasional sighs when blundering but no rage quits), Minal plays most fiercely during late night hours — peaking with a 52% win chance around 6 am. Night owls, watch out; this is prime time for some sharp chess moves.
