Hana Modrova - Woman FIDE Master
Meet Hana Modrova, a dedicated and titled chess player proudly holding the Woman FIDE Master title from FIDE. Hana’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of strategic brilliance and stubborn resilience, much like a chess game where the queen refuses to leave the board—because why not, when you’re winning?
Rating and Progression
Hana’s ratings over the years tell an intriguing story. With a peak Rapid rating hovering around 1700 and Blitz reaching past 1750, she’s definitely not one to back down from a challenge. From humble beginnings at around 1143 in Rapid and 859 in Blitz, Hana has steadily climbed the leaderboard, showing a penchant for battling it out in fast-paced Blitz games where she’s accumulated thousands of matches—because who needs sleep when you can play Blitz chess?
Playing Style & Strengths
Hana favors maneuvering through endgames with patient precision, boasting an impressive endgame frequency of over 73%. With an average of 61 moves per win and close to 73 moves per loss, she’s clearly not rushed; every move is a calculated step towards either victory or a gracious defeat. Her win rate with White edges just above 50%, while Black holds a respectable 45%, proving she’s a formidable opponent regardless of color.
Tactical Brilliance
Here’s a fun fact: Hana’s comeback rate is a staggering 75%, and she’s got a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Yes, you read that right—if Hana loses a piece, don’t start celebrating just yet. Her opponents do that a little too early!
Psychology & Quirks
With a tilt factor of 12 (chess players will understand), Hana seems to keep her cool most of the time but might occasionally let a losing position get under her skin. Rated games versus casual ones show she performs slightly better in casual settings, perhaps because she plays more like a friendly neighborhood queen than a strict chess tyrant.
Opponent Records & Memorable Moments
Hana has sparred with many opponents, some she thoroughly dominates (looking at you, “chaseberger” and “slavkopsn” with a 100% win rate) and others who gave her a run for her money. She keeps coming back for more, proving her love for the game surpasses just winning.
Fun Facts
- Longest winning streak: 12 games. Because sometimes, the queen just can’t be stopped.
- Games played in Blitz mode: Over 10,000 - That’s more time spent blitzing than most of us spend deciding what to watch on Netflix.
- Average early resignation rate: just 0.24% - She’s not one to give up easily, even if her coffee runs out.
- Currently rocking the username Klokan64 when not in official FIDE listings.
