Fadwa Fadwa - The Chess Adventurer
Meet Fadwa Fadwa, known on the battlefield of 64 squares as Fadoua-A. A player whose chess journey is as thrilling as a roller coaster ride, and twice as unpredictable. Fadwa’s peak rapid rating soared to an impressive 315 in May 2025, showcasing an ability to explode onto the scene like a bishop suddenly striking across the board.
Playing Style & Strengths
Fadwa is a strategic concoction of resilience, flair, and occasional early resignations (about 22.7% of the time—because why drag out a lost cause, right?). Fierce in the opening, she favors the Alekhine’s Defense and the King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation, boasting win rates of 44% and 58% respectively. Not to mention a cheeky 80% win rate with the rare and surprising Englund Gambit, proving she's not afraid to dance with danger.
Battle Record
Rapid games see her with a total of 60 wins, 77 losses, and 8 draws, a record that reflects a fighter undeterred by setbacks. Her longest winning streak was a commendable 6 games, though she's not a stranger to a tough patch, experiencing a longest losing streak of 10 games, showing that even the bravest warriors have their "where did my knights go?" moments.
Tactical Genius & Psychological Edge
Fadwa’s tactical comeback rate is a remarkable 64%, meaning when the chips are down, she turns the tables more often than not. Her best time to strike is early in the morning at 8 AM, when her mind is sharpest—and her opponents are possibly still sneaking their third cup of coffee. However, beware the dreaded "tilt factor"—she has a solid 10%, reminding us that even grandmasters can occasionally grumble when the pawns don't cooperate.
Favorite Battles & Notable Games
One recent highlight was a dazzling checkmate delivered with style in the Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation, where she turned a tense position into victory with a beautiful final flourish. Though wins often come by resignation or checkmate, Fadwa keeps things spicy with occasional game abandonments and little-known tricks up her sleeves.
