Ella Carlsen (aka ellabellabangbang)
Meet Ella Carlsen, a chess enthusiast whose rapid improvement is as swift and surprising as a queen’s bold strike across the board. Starting from humble beginnings with a Rapid rating of 804 in 2021, Ella has steadily climbed the ranks, smashing through barriers to achieve a peak Rapid rating of 1133 by 2025. With a keen eye for strategy and a secret weapon opening move used 254 times (with a dazzling 60.6% win rate), Ella knows how to keep opponents guessing—and often losing.
While Blitz games might be a bit more of a rollercoaster, with a modest 40% win rate, Ella’s resilience shines in the rapid format, boasting 154 wins against 95 losses. Not to mention, Ella holds a legendary longest winning streak of 10 consecutive wins—proof of some serious momentum and probably a lucky chess hat.
Ella's daily games are minimal but perfect: a spotless 100% win rate in the single Daily rated game played in 2025, showing a flair for instant success. Tactical awareness is a strong suit here, as Ella has a near-mythical 72% comeback rate and an unbreakable 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly a master of turning tables when the chips are down.
Psychological resilience? Check. With a very low tilt factor of 6% and a tendency to perform even better in rated battles (winning 27.69% more than casual games), Ella handles pressure and competition like a seasoned pro. When playing with the White pieces, Ella boasts an impressive 65.6% win rate, while Black pieces bring a respectable 55.3% win rate.
Opponents beware: Ella has triumphed over some tough players repeatedly—including the notorious “anyabeau” and even managed the humbling task of challenging the legendary “magnuscarlsen” multiple times. While the scoreboard shows room to improve against Magnus, Ella’s record against many others is nearly flawless.
In short, Ella Carlsen isn't just a player; she's a force of nature in progress, a chessboard tactician ready to surprise, and a relentless contender who makes every game a thrilling adventure.
