Meet Lordessa, Rapid Chess Comeback Artist
Lordessa is a rapid chess scrapper with a huge appetite for the game. Since her first recorded month in July 2022, she has piled up hundreds of games, reached a peak rapid rating of 1671 (2022-07-21), and shown a clear love for open, sharp positions. She also plays blitz, but rapid is her natural habitat.
Lordessa's Journey: Peaks, Slumps, and Streaks
Lordessa burst onto the board in July 2022 with 43 rapid games and 25 wins, lifting her rating from 1333 to a monthly high of 1671. That remains her career-best rapid performance. Since then her path has been a roller coaster, including a grueling August 2023 and a heavy March 2025. Through all of it, she has kept the losses from ending the story. Her longest winning streak is five games, and her current winning streak sits at two.
Lordessa's Opening Repertoire
Lordessa is a devoted 1.e4 player. As Black, she most often answers with the Scandinavian Defense. Her rapid record in that opening is solid: 17 wins, 11 losses and 5 draws, and with the black pieces she has 16 wins from 25 games. She is also comfortable in the Vienna Gambit, especially the Max Lange Defense, where she wins 80% of her blitz games. The Blackburne Shilling Gambit and Caro-Kann Defense round out her regular toolbox.
Her affection for sharp but sound setups has a darker side. In the Giuoco Piano: Tarrasch Variation, Lordessa is still chasing her first rapid win after eight games, with two draws and six losses.
Fighting Spirit and Best Moments
One of Lordessa's defining traits is her refusal to give up. Her early resignation rate is only 4.32%, and her comeback rate is 79.17%. Even after losing a piece she still wins about 31% of the time, a sign that her tactical radar stays on. Her games tend to run deep: about 70% reach the endgame, and her average winning game lasts around 60 moves. She is not looking for a quick trick, she is looking for a fight.
Her numbers also show that she is at her best early in the day, with her highest winning percentage at 08:00, and Tuesday has historically been her strongest day with a 57.58% win rate.
