Woman FIDE Master

Diana Lomaia, affectionately known in the online chess realm as Dii210, is a formidable Woman FIDE Master whose chess journey reads like a thrilling novel – sprinkled with tactical brilliance, nail-biting comebacks, and occasional “oops” moments (don’t worry, they’re few and far between).

Rising through the ranks with a peak blitz rating of 2494 in May 2022, Diana has dazzled opponents across all time controls. Her bullet games peaked at a lightning-fast 2215, showcasing her remarkable speed and agility, while her rapid rating climbed to an impressive 2159 in late 2022. Whether moving pieces in milliseconds or strategizing in longer formats, Diana’s playstyle combines deep endgame knowledge and a penchant for long, thoughtful battles—her average win lasts nearly 73 moves!

Known for a comeback rate of over 81%, Diana wrestles her way out of precarious positions like a true tactician. Losing a piece? No problem, she still nets victory half of those times. On the flip side, early resignation is rare (just about 1%) — a testament to her fighting spirit and resilience.

Playing Style & Personality

Diana’s preferred battlefield is often blitz, where her competitive edge shines with a nearly 45% win rate over nearly 400 games in a so-called "Top Secret" opening repertoire (her ace-in-the-hole, perhaps). Rapid games reveal a stronger strategic flair, pushing her win rate over 59%. Bullet matches? She reigns supreme with a sharp 65%+ success rate, suggesting she might be some sort of grandmaster disguised as a Woman FIDE Master.

Her psychological game? On point. Diana’s best moves often come late at night (yes, she’s a "23:00" owl), and she climbs her personal peaks on Mondays with an incredible 78% win rate. Just don’t challenge her before coffee — mornings can be a little rough.

Memorable Moments & Rivalries

Diana’s longest winning streak is a jaw-dropping 48 games, followed by the occasional humbling state (maximum losing streak: 7), proving even chess wizards have their off days. Among frequent opponents, she boasts a perfect winning record against stalwarts like chesssimpy and kaua18, while a seasoned clash with araushavs sits at a respectable 45% win rate — proving all battles can remain fiercely competitive.

Recent Highlights

Her recent victories include a swift checkmate victory employing the King's Pawn Opening, Leonardis Variation, and a patient, tactical triumph with the Colle System, showing her versatility in approach and execution.

Fun Fact:

Despite fierce competition, Diana maintains an impressive psychological "Tilt Factor" of just 7 — meaning she stays cool even when her opponent unexpectedly sacrifices a queen. Calmness is her secret weapon.

In the world of chess, Diana Lomaia stands not just as a player, but as a symbol of passion, grit, and the eternal quest for checkmate. Watch out, opponents—the queen (and master) is in town!

Feedback for Diana Lomaia

Hi Diana! I've reviewed some of your recent games, and here is some constructive feedback to help you improve further:

Strengths

  • Strong Tactical Awareness: You consistently find winning combinations and deliver checkmate threats effectively, as seen in your recent successful attacks and tactical finishes.
  • Kingside Safety and Castling: You castle fairly early in most games, improving your king's safety and connecting your rooks for quicker development.
  • Opening Repertoire and Solid Development: You stick to sound opening principles with gradual development and control of the center (e.g., in the Colle System, Caro-Kann, and King's Pawn Openings).

Areas for Improvement

  • Time Management: In several games, time pressure impacted your ability to finish smoothly, resulting in losses by time or suboptimal moves. Practice managing your clock better and consider moving slightly faster in the opening while reserving time for critical moments.
  • Handling Opponent’s Pressure in the Midgame: A few losses show difficulty in handling strong, active opponent piece play especially in closed or semi-closed positions. Improving your defensive skills and strategic planning can help withstand pressure more effectively.
  • Endgame Technique: Some endings showed missed winning opportunities or failure to convert advantages. Focus on strengthening key endgame fundamentals, such as king activity, pawn structure, and simplified winning techniques.
  • Calculation and Positional Evaluation: Enhancing deeper calculation in complicated positions and better evaluation of imbalances (e.g., when to trade pieces or keep tension) will boost your results.

Suggested Focus for Your Training

  • Practice Mixed Time Controls: Incorporate rapid and classical games to improve your time management and deepen understanding without rush.
  • Study Endgames: Review theoretical basic endgames and practical technique to increase your confidence and precision.
  • Analyze Losses: Regularly review your losses to understand what strategic or tactical errors occurred and identify alternative plans.
  • Opening Repertoire Slight Expansion: While your current openings are solid, consider exploring complementary lines to get familiar with different structures and plans.

Keep up the good work, Diana! With focused training, you will continue to climb the ranks and sharpen your chess skills.
