Meet Angelo Etienne
Angelo Etienne, known online as GM-MamaPenny, is a FIDE Master whose chess life is measured in thousands of battles. With more than 30,000 rated games to his name, he has spent enough time at the board to qualify for a second career. Officially, his preferred time control is Daily chess, but his blitz and bullet archives suggest he simply cannot resist a ticking clock.
Career Highlights
Angelo earned the FIDE Master title and continued to push his rating higher on the internet's biggest stages. He reached a peak blitz rating of 2877 (2026-01-01) and a bullet peak of 2844 (2025-09-25), while his Daily rating climbed to 2314 (2025-09-19). His journey includes a 13 game winning streak and a 42 game losing streak, which means he has experienced both the highest highs and the lowest lows of online chess.
Style and Openings
Angelo's opening repertoire mixes sturdy defense with a taste for the unusual. With the black pieces, he frequently plays the Caro-Kann Defense, using it more than 1,700 times in blitz. With white, he favors the London System and the Réti Opening. In Rapid games, the Réti has been especially kind to him, delivering a win rate above 60 percent.
