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.
