Ekaterina Sudoplatova: The International Master with a Blitz Touch
There’s chess, and then there’s Ekaterina Sudoplatova playing chess – a player officially crowned as an International Master by FIDE and unofficially known as a blitz storm on the board. Since 2017, Ekaterina has danced across the 64 squares with a blitz rating soaring as high as 2457, dazzling both opponents and spectators alike.
Her blitz journey isn’t just about speed, but precision – with over 400 blitz wins and a win rate flirting with 54%. She's mastered the art of rapid calculation and psychological warfare, boasting a comeback rate that could make even a phoenix blush at nearly 91%, and somehow maintains a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into checkmates!
Ekaterina's style? Think long, grinding endgames (played in nearly 79% of her games), with an average winning game stretching to 72 moves. Patience is her secret weapon; she wears down opponents like a chess whisperer, luring them into mistakes before delivering the knockout.
When it comes to bullet chess, she’s no slouch either, rocking a win rate above 66% in the lightning-fast format. And on the odd occasion she tries daily chess, she manages a spotless record — so casual players beware, even her slow games sting.
Against opponents ranging from the vicious octopus_assassin (who apparently has her number) to friends like talkerpro and hercog (who taste her wrath every time), Ekaterina’s record reads like a thrilling rollercoaster of triumphs, resilience, and the occasional strategic snipe.
Her best time to strike? Mornings around 9 AM and afternoons around 4 PM seem to be when Ekaterina’s chess brain hits peak efficiency, boasting win rates above 70% — proving that even International Masters are morning people.
In short, Ekaterina Sudoplatova is a shining example of competitive tenacity blended with tactical brilliance. So next time you face her online and see the clock ticking down, remember: she’s not just fast; she’s a calculated storm — and your queen better watch its back.
