Tatyana V. Shuvatkina: Woman FIDE Master & Stealth Chess Maestro
Known in the chess world as dohtem16, Tatyana V. Shuvatkina holds the prestigious title of Woman FIDE Master. Her chess career may seem like a secret mission—literally—because her opening repertoire is famously labeled "Top Secret," boasting an impressive 83% win rate in blitz and a flawless 100% in bullet games. Talk about hiding your moves in plain sight!
With an unbeaten blitz record of 5 wins and 1 draw out of 6 games, and an immaculate 4 wins in as many bullet matches, Tatyana proves she's a force to be reckoned with on lightning-fast time controls. Starting from a modest rating of 1564 in 2019, she soared to a peak blitz rating of 2050, leaving opponents stunned and scrambling to keep up.
Her longest winning streak? An impressive 7 games. Currently, she’s on a 2-game hot streak, and given her tactical prowess, don’t bet against that streak growing.
Every day and hour seems to be prime time for Tatyana — from early morning sharp 6 AM victories to late-night showdowns at 1 AM, she conquers all. Perhaps chess is her caffeine substitute, delivering 100% win rates on Thursdays, Saturdays, and even the more mundane Mondays.
One of her standout qualities is her resilient mentality: zero tilt, a comeback rate near 89%, and a perfect win rate after losing a piece. In other words, when things look bleak, Tatyana just smiles, plots a sneaky counterattack, and flips the board metaphorically.
Her style? Patient, endgame-centric, with an average of nearly 78 moves per win—chess games aren’t sprints but marathons where she outlasts her opponents. White pieces in her hands are deadly (100% win rate), but even with Black, she’s an 80% victor.
Facing opponents like komodo1, abilío_jose, serdaree, and heglar, Tatyana has dominated with a near-perfect record, only a single opponent (aaa12354) managing to spoil her streak by avoiding defeat.
In summary, Tatyana V. Shuvatkina is a mysterious and relentless tactician with a secret weapon: an uncanny ability to win silently yet spectacularly. Whether blitz or bullet, she’s a player worth watching—if you can keep up with her secret playbook!
