Marina Kuznetsova - Woman FIDE Master & Blitz Whiz

Marina Kuznetsova is a formidable Woman FIDE Master whose chess journey reads like a thrilling rollercoaster — minus the screams but with plenty of checkmates!

Rising Through the Ranks

From a respectable Blitz rating just over 2000 in 2023, Marina zoomed past the 2500 mark by 2025, showcasing her relentless grind and sharp tactics. Bullet games? She’s practically untouchable, boasting a flawless 100% win rate in 18 matches — proof that when the clock ticks faster, her brain ticks faster.

Playing Style

Marina’s games tend to be epic sagas; her wins average over 80 moves, pointing to a love for the endgame and the dramatic twists it brings. With an endgame appearance rate of over 80%, you can bet she's the player who’ll squeeze that extra pawn to clinch victory. She even has a comeback rate of nearly 92% — losing a piece? No problem, she usually wins those fights!

Psychology & Wit

Despite a mild tilt factor of 6 (the kind you get when you forget your coffee before a game), Marina remains resilient and strategic. Her preferred days and times for crushing opponents include Sunday, Thursday, and mornings around 9-12 — clearly, she’s an early bird who conquers while most are hitting snooze.

Fan Favorite Opponents

She's basically undefeated against many challengers like dina3696 and b4njo, who might be reconsidering their chess careers. However, a couple of foes like daniilshnurov and geminithegreat have her number so far — the spice every chess champion needs.

Off the board, Marina probably contemplates whether chess opponents should come with a “recharge your brain” button — but on the board, she’s just too fast and too smart. If you ever face Marina Kuznetsova in a blitz or bullet game, prepare for a whirlwind of tactical fireworks and a masterclass in perseverance.
