Feven Gebremeskel Girmay (fevita) - Woman Candidate Master
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Feven Gebremeskel Girmay, affectionately known in the chess world as fevita — a proud bearer of the Woman Candidate Master title awarded by FIDE. If chess were a battlefield, Feven is the fearless general who commands her pieces with polite but firm precision, often ending games with a smile and occasionally leaving her opponents wondering where that sneaky knight just came from.
Rating and Style
Across rapid, blitz, and bullet formats, Feven showcases versatility, with a peak blitz rating of a solid 1600 and a rapid peak at 1285 achieved in mid-2020. While her bullet adventures might still be seeking glory (peak 1043), she clearly prefers the slightly slower hustle—because who doesn't enjoy savoring their victories a bit more?
Her playstyle? An endgame aficionado who loves prolonged battles, with an impressive 60.87% endgame frequency, proving that she’s in it for the long haul. Expect around 48 moves per win, so don’t blink! Also, she’s pretty good at bouncing back with a strong 60% comeback rate when down a piece. Psychological tilt? Barely a factor at 2 (out of 10), making Feven as steady as a rook guarding the seventh rank.
Memorable Matches
On August 1st, 2020, in a gripping rapid duel against Wondergirl13, Feven (playing white) clinched victory by her opponent's time running out — because sometimes timing really is everything. And before that, she did not just win but checkmated Magnet99 in dazzling style, showing off both strategic depth and lethal precision.
War Stories on the Board
Though every champion faces defeat, Feven's losses are the kind that build character — like her contest with j164 where time pressure played tricks on her, and battles with formidable foes such as shiyan2939. However, as the stats say, against certain opponents like magnet99 and azunathi, she boasts an undefeated streak—100% win rate—because clearly, some players just can’t resist feeding the queen’s gambit!
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Feven’s best hour of play? Sharp at 2 PM — perfect time for that caffeine-fueled checkmate.
- Her longest winning streak in official rapid games is 2, proving consistency is a work in progress... but hey, every king needs a queen to swoon over!
- Early resignation? Nearly unheard of. She's loyal to the fight until the very end, averaging 82 moves even in losses — stamina is clearly her middle name.
In sum, Feven Gebremeskel Girmay is not just climbing chess rating ladders; she’s crafting stories, surprises, and moments that turn a simple game into a thriller. A player to watch — or wary of — as she moves pieces across the board with equal parts wit and willpower.
