Magdalena Łysiak-Półtorak - Woman FIDE Master

Meet Magdalena Łysiak-Półtorak, a chess player whose game is as spirited and enchanting as her Polish surname is challenging to pronounce! Also known in the chess circles as Lysiak_Poltorak, she proudly carries the prestigious title of Woman FIDE Master, a testament to her impressive skill and dedication on the 64 squares.

Magdalena's chess journey reveals a fascinating tale of blazing bullet battles and strategic blitz warfare. Her bullet ratings peeked as high as 2635 in 2021—a rating that could make many grandmasters raise an eyebrow. Despite the whirlwind speed, she maintains a win rate just shy of 48% in bullet with thousands of lightning-fast games demonstrating razor-sharp reflexes.

Unlike your stereotypical chess player who simply sits in silence, Magdalena’s playing style hints at a thrilling rollercoaster ride: with an 85.43% comeback rate and a jaw-dropping 96.45% win rate after losing a piece, she’s always ready to turn the tables and fight till the very end. Her matches average over 70 moves, showing endurance fit for marathon battles rather than quick checkmate flash mobs.

Fun fact: Magdalena tends to perform best between midnight and early morning hours, with peak winning rates hitting a perfect 100% at 1 AM, and a stunning 83.33% at 4 AM – clearly a night owl who thrives where shadows lurk, plotting complex tactics while the rest of the world sleeps.

Whether wielding the white pieces with a strong 53.27% winning rate or taking on the challenge from the black side, where she still clinches victory nearly half the time, Magdalena is a formidable opponent at any hour. She’s known to possess a low early resignation rate of just 4.13%, which means never underestimate her grit – she’s in every fight till the endgame, which she frequencies impressively at 76.29%.

Off the board, Magdalena enjoys a good challenge naming some of her favorite opponents, though some keep her win rate humble (looking at you, “rbferguson” and “khvicha_supatashvili” with a 0% record!). But hey, every chess hero needs their rivals.

In summary, Magdalena Łysiak-Półtorak is not only a skilled and resilient chess warrior but also an inspiration for all night owls who believe great things happen after midnight. Keep your kings safe and your tactics sharp if you find yourself facing her — because this Woman FIDE Master doesn’t just play the game, she dances with it.
