Erin Bian (equeen7) - Woman FIDE Master
Meet Erin Bian, known in the chess world as equeen7, a formidable force with the prestigious title of Woman FIDE Master. Erin’s journey on the 64 squares is a story of steady growth, tactical brilliance, and the occasional cheeky gambit that leaves opponents scratching their heads.
A Rising Star with a Steady Climb
Starting with modest ratings around 1000 in bullet chess back in 2019, Erin has methodically scaled the ranks, reaching a peak bullet rating of 2305 in early 2025. The blitz arena sees them even sharper, boasting a jaw-dropping peak rating of 2447, while rapid chess performances soared to an impressive 2245. Not bad for someone who probably sometimes sacrifices pawns just for the fun of it!
The Style and The Streak
Erin’s games average around 50 moves when winning — a tactic master who enjoys the long game rather than quick-fire checkmates. Yet, don’t be fooled by the slow burn! With a comeback rate near 60%, equeen7 is not one to surrender easily, often turning tables when down a piece or two. Although prone to early resignation about one-third of the time (which is just smart time management, right?), Erin balances it out with solid endgame play in over half their games.
Opening Secrets and Winning Formulas
When it comes to openings, keep an eye out for the so-called “Top Secret” repertoire—Erin’s secret sauce that secures over 57% wins in bullet chess and a respectable 53% in blitz. The Reti Opening is another favored weapon in blitz, boasting an impressive 89% win rate, proving that unconventional lines can be most effective. Opening surprises? Always.
Playing Times and Psychological Trends
Erin seems to truly come alive at odd hours, with near-perfect winning performances at 7 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, and 2 PM — clearly an early riser or perhaps an avid coffee drinker fueling those critical battles. Interestingly, the best time of day to catch their peak play is at 2 PM, so plan your challenges wisely. And a tilt factor of 8? Erin keeps cool even when the heat is on — good luck rattling this calm warrior!
Memorable Battles and Recent Highlights
Among countless wins, a recent gem involved a gritty resignation victory in a tense daily chess championship match, showcasing Erin’s endgame precision and strategic patience. But like any epic hero, there are fierce rivalries too—facing off against tough opponents such as “eggroll1234” and “orzducky,” where every game is a thrilling chess saga.
Fun Fact
Despite a commanding rating peak and tactical prowess, Erin never gives up the joy of experimenting — whether it's blitzing with a dazzling Scandinavian Defense or casually testing out the Queen's Pawn openings. To Erin, chess is more than competition; it’s a creative playground where every game tells a story.
Erin Bian (equeen7), a true chess adventurer and tactical artist — keep watching the board, their checkmate might be just a move away!
Hi Erin, great work lately!
🥇 What you’re already doing well
- Initiative-driven play – In your daily win against Seb1907 you accepted the pawn sacrifice in the Giuoco Piano and never looked back, keeping Black under constant pressure with 21.Re7! and 26.Rd8+.
- Piece activity in simplified positions – Your conversion of the minor-piece endgame (…Bg2–e6–a2) was smooth; you restrained White’s king side pawns before queening the a-pawn.
- Time-management (classical) – In the correspondence games you regularly finish with large clock reserves, showing good discipline about calculating once and recording the line.
🔍 Priority areas to improve
-
Move-order traps in your favourite openings
• In two recent Evans-style games you allowed …Bb4+ too early (Game vs Eggroll1234, move 7 and 31). Review the critical tabiya after 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4.
• Against the Scandinavian you sometimes misplace the queen with Qd4/a5 ideas for Black. Spend one session on the Modern variation: “Scandinavian 3…Qa5”. -
Translating a space advantage into concrete threats
In your Daily win versus Seb1907 you had 30 minutes where your rook on d7 & bishop on c7 dominated, yet Black regrouped with …Nd6/…Ne5. Look for pawn breaks (c4-c5 or h4-h5) earlier so the initiative doesn’t cool off. -
Crazyhouse defence (optional)
Many of the live losses are from optimistic piece drops near your king. Basic rule: never allow a knight or pawn drop on e6/e7/f6/f7 when your king is still in the centre. Practise 5-minute Crazyhouse puzzles to build the reflex.
