Gulenay Aydin: Woman International Master & Bullet Blizzard

Meet Gulenay Aydin, an accomplished chess virtuoso holding the prestigious title of Woman International Master awarded by FIDE. With a career full of thrilling battles primarily in bullet and blitz formats, Gulenay dances on the 64 squares with the speed and precision of a chess ninja.

Rating Rollercoaster and Statistical Shenanigans

Her peak bullet rating astonishingly reached 2739 back in March 2022 — that's the kind of number that makes grandmasters raise an eyebrow (or their king). Although the bullet arena has seen fierce ups and downs (rating swings from 1468 to over 2700!), Gulenay’s win rate against evenly matched opponents is a confident 66.67%. It's like she’s got a sixth sense — or just some secret opening prep that FIDE really doesn't want us to know about.

In blitz, she’s no less impressive, sitting comfortably with a peak rating of 2568. And in rapid chess? Let's just say her win rate is almost as fast as her moves: an eye-popping 81.82% winning ratio over 11 games. The lady doesn't just play chess; she dominates various time controls like a multitasking wizard.

Playing Style: A Mix of Patience and Tactical Brilliance

Gulenay prefers a marathon over a sprint when winning — averaging 73 moves per victory — proving that patience really is a virtue on the chessboard. She’s somewhat notorious for a high comeback rate (74.18%), showing resilience that could inspire even the most beaten-down pawns to keep marching forward.

Not one to quit early (early resignation rate is a modest 7.5%), she’s a true endgame artist, engaging in endgames in nearly 76% of her games. It's like watching a grandmaster calmly unpick a stubborn knot — just with less knitting and more knights.

Time and Psychological Trivia

Her favorite moment to play (and win) is oddly at midnight — maybe the stars whisper chess secrets at night? She’s got a tilt factor of 21, meaning she can get a bit cranky when things go south, but who doesn’t after losing a rook to a sneaky knight fork?

Memorable Moments & Noteworthy Games

Her recent triumph in March 2025 was a spectacular checkmate against AliKaarc who, despite valiant efforts, couldn’t withstand Gulenay's pinning pressure and tactical fireworks. Watch the magic unfold here.

But like every great story, there are ups and downs: January 2025 saw a tough game ended by resignation to opponent aminmaxmudov — a reminder that even masters have those "oops" moments where the pieces just won’t cooperate.

• Most played opponents include anon6121824 and gurelediz — sounds like a rivalry brewing, with dozens of battles fought!
