Beverly Mendoza - Woman International Master (WIM)
Meet Beverly Mendoza, a chess virtuoso with the prestigious title of Woman International Master bestowed by FIDE. Known to her opponents as ethylalcohol in some circles, Beverly’s chess career is a thrilling rollercoaster through blitz, rapid, bullet, and the occasional casual daily game (because who doesn't like a slow burn after a blitz frenzy?).
Since bursting onto the scene in 2015, Beverly has dazzled with a blitz rating soaring as high as 2234 in 2019—a number that surely makes her foes reconsider their opening moves. Blitz is where she really shines, boasting over 2300 games with a win rate right around 50%. Talk about stamina and style! And while her bullet games might be fewer, her wins there pack a punch with a winning percentage close to 58%, proving lightning-fast reflexes are definitely in her toolkit.
In the rapid format, Beverly exhibits the patience of a grandmaster and the tactical sharpness of a hawk, balancing a respectable win rate in the mid-40s to nearly 50%. Her average games are intense marathons—clocking over 65 moves to a win—showcasing her love for the endgame dance, which she frequents in about three quarters of her matches.
Now, imagine facing a player who consistently bounces back from adversity with an impressive comeback rate above 80% and an impeccable 100% win rate after losing a piece. Beverly is that iron-willed combatant who refuses to let a sacrifice phase her—tilt factor? A mere 11, barely enough to notice in her solid psychological fortress.
Off the board, Beverly’s approach might be just as formidable. With a longest winning streak clocking in at 11 consecutive games and currently riding a three-game win streak, this WIM is no stranger to momentum. Weekday or weekend, morning or evening, her win rates flex impressively, peaking near 66% in the early dawn hours—perhaps reflecting the perfect time to outthink sleepy opponents everywhere.
And who are Beverly’s favorite sparring partners? Opponents like kinginthenorth1302 and dssc1234 have fallen prey 100% of the time, while some tough challengers like itzmie keep her on her toes. Despite this, Beverly’s record reads like an epic saga of resilience, tactical mastery, and the occasional cheeky blunder that makes chess all the more human.
In summary, Beverly Mendoza is a fierce competitor who blends enduring tactical awareness with a knack for thrilling comebacks. A titleholder, a strategist, and a relentless battler—she’s the kind of player who proves time and time again that in chess, as in life, the game is never truly over until the king falls.
