Playing Style & Strengths

With an endgame frequency of nearly 75%, Elena clearly loves the long haul, savoring tense finish lines that would make even grandmasters lean in closer. Her average winning games stretch out to around 74 moves—a true marathon chess player! Early resignations are rare, clocking in at just 2.3%, which means she fights hard until the very last move.

• Bullet Peak Rating: 2455 in 2021

Notable Records & Quirks

Elena’s most impressive streak? A whopping 16-game winning streak, proving that when she’s on fire, she’s an unstoppable blaze. While her winning streak may have cooled off recently (current streak: 0), her overall career record in Blitz stands strong at 249 wins, 205 losses, and 23 draws.

Her win rate against familiar foes reveals a pattern: complete dominance over some usernames (like archibaldcerveza29 at 100%) and some surprising struggle against others (toninhojit at 0%) — a reminder that even chess virtuosos have their nemeses.

Chess & Humor

With a tilt factor of 11 — which in chess terms means she occasionally gets a bit salty — Elena keeps the game competitive and entertaining. Don’t be fooled by the grind; a quick blunder might bring out a colorful (yet friendly) exclamation or two. But once the dust settles, she’s right back strategizing her next brilliant move.

Whether playing at dawn or deep into the night (with a perfect 100% win rate at 21:00 hours - must be the coffee combo), Elena Semenova exemplifies dedication and tenacity on the 64 squares. One thing’s guaranteed: facing her means preparing for a battle of wits and endurance.
