Lisandra Teresa Ordaz Valdés (lisychess) - Woman Grandmaster

Lisandra Teresa Ordaz Valdés, known in the chess biosphere as lisychess, is a fierce competitor whose strategic prowess has earned her the prestigious title of Woman Grandmaster from FIDE. Like a master biologist of the 64-square ecosystem, she navigates the complex terrain of chess openings and endgames with evolutionary adaptation and cunning tactics that would make even a chameleon jealous.

Playing Style & Strengths

With an impressive endgame frequency of nearly 80%, Lisandra thrives in the final phases of battle, patiently outmaneuvering her opponents in a game of high psychological and combinatorial Darwinism. Her resilience shines through her 89.3% comeback rate — proving that even when down a piece, her survival instinct kicks into high gear, scoring a flawless 100% win rate after losing material. Talk about cellular regeneration on the chessboard!

Lisandra’s games tend to be a hearty snack for fans of complexity, averaging nearly 66 moves per win, indicating her preference for a slow-burning, strategic feast rather than a quick checkmate fast food special. She’s equally comfortable playing white or black, maintaining a strong winning percentage on both colors, which suggests a well-rounded neural network firing on all cylinders.

Performance Highlights

  • Peak Blitz rating: soaring to an impressive 2472 in 2020 — a testament to her lightning-fast synapses and agile reflexes.
  • Bullet prowess: an average rating above 2100, with a win rate of 66% in a rapid-fire 62-game sample; her opponents often find themselves in check before they can blink.
  • Rapid rating peaking near 1900, showing sharp adaptability across time controls.
  • Longest winning streak: a remarkable 20-game run — now that's a true genetic advantage!

Opponent Analysis & Psychological Tendencies

Lisandra exhibits a fascinating win-loss biology with dominant performances against a host of challengers, scoring 100% wins against many familiar opponent species (including americanoak, mrquackerjack, and pursuitofhappyness2). However, some opponents remain her kryptonite, as games against gliglu, guadabesso, and soluckythough yielded no victories - a reminder that evolution is an ongoing process.

Her psychological “tilt factor” is a mere 3, suggesting she’s more like a calm cephalopod than a frantic rabbit in predator territory. Interestingly, her win rate is highest in the late afternoon and early evening, with peak hunting success around 2-3 pm and after 7 pm — her circadian rhythm clearly tuned for tournament brilliance.

Fun Facts & Final Moves

Not just a rapid replicator of moves, Lisandra injects creativity into every game, making her chess style as diverse as a rainforest biome. Whether it’s top-secret openings or a crushing endgame, she embodies the perfect synthesis of strategy and flair. Chess fans can rest easy knowing that lisychess is evolving the game one move at a time — proving that in the world of 64 squares, survival definitely belongs to the fittest.

Hi Lisandra Teresa ( “lisychess” ) – personalized training report

🌟 What you’re already doing very well

  • Opening preparation – your Queen’s Gambit Declined & Reti systems score well; you often reach middlegames with a sound structure and the pair of bishops.
    Example:

    illustrates excellent preparation and the courage to expand with …b5/…b4.
  • Tactical alertness – forks such as …Nd4! and clever resource grabs (…Rxe4! vs AmericanOak) show sharp calculation ability.
  • Initiative-oriented play – you seldom shy away from pawn breaks (…c5, …f5) that unbalance the position and suit your style.

🔎 Recurring issues to address

  • Clock management – in several 15 | 5 games the evaluation was equal yet time pressure led to blunders or simply flagging (e.g. vs tobachevsky and gliglu).
  • End-game conversion – lost pawn endings (diagram after 58…Ke5 vs gliglu) indicate missing theoretical endings and triangulation / opposition themes. See Zugzwang.
  • Premature pawn thrusts – the early …b5 in the Catalan loss weakened dark squares; similarly …g5 in the Nimzo-Indian game let White anchor knights on e5/f4.
  • Defensive technique – when the attack fizzles you sometimes keep “attacking mode” on and overlook opponent counter-punches (e.g. 33…Qxg4? in the Giuoco Piano game left the king exposed).

🎯 Action plan for the next 4 weeks

  1. Clock discipline drill
    • Play 10 blitz games at 3 | 2 but vow to keep ≥30 s each by move 20.
    • Review only moves made under 5 s – most errors hide there.
  2. End-game routine
    • Finish one chapter per week from “100 Endgames You Must Know”.
    • Recreate endings from your own games and defend/convert vs engine at depth 15.
  3. Quality over quantity in pawn breaks
    • Before pushing any wing pawn ask “What is my worst-placed piece?” If the push doesn’t simultaneously improve that piece, reconsider.
  4. Monthly self-review

    MonTueWedThuFriSatSun100%0%Day of Week
    ; aim for a rising slope in sessions played between 19-22 UTC where most of your games occur.

📈 Targets

• Reach 2472 (2020-08-21) + 50 by relying on improved endings.
• Raise rapid win-rate vs players 2100-2300 from 48 % → 55 % by next month.

👏 Keep it up!

Your attacking flair is your biggest asset – by reinforcing the “boring” skills (clock, defense, endings) you’ll convert more of those advantages into points. Enjoy the journey and good luck at the board!
