Oksana Golubeva - Woman FIDE Master and Blitz Extraordinaire
Meet Oksana Golubeva, a Woman FIDE Master whose chess prowess can be summed up with speed, strategy, and a pinch of magic (possibly Jedi mind tricks, but we can't confirm). With a flair for bullet and blitz formats, Oksana maneuvers the board faster than most can say "checkmate."
Over the years, Oksana has pushed her bullet rating soaring from the 2300s to a fiery peak of 2512 in 2024 — a level where queens tremble and pawns dream big. In blitz, her best rating tiptoed close to 2561, proving she’s just as sharp when the clock ticks wildly. Not one to shy away from rapid chess, her strategic play shines with a solid winning rate that would likely make castling jealous.
What really sets Oksana apart? Apart from her tactical wizardry (with a comeback rate of 90.45% and an almost mythical 100% win rate after losing a piece), her longest winning streak of 14 games shows she’s not just fast, but also ferociously consistent. With an average of over 77 moves per win, she’s clearly not just a sprinter — more like a marathoner who enjoys the scenic route, the pressure, and the occasional sneaky fork.
Friends (and foes) often see her as a psychological enigma. While her tilt factor nudges at 13, Oksana’s resilience means even if she stumbles, she bounces back with the grace of a queen dancing across the board. Playing as White, her success rate rises close to 49%, while battling with Black holds steady at roughly 40% — pretty solid stats that say she’s comfortable no matter which side she commands (or perhaps she just likes to keep everyone guessing).
Off the board, Oksana might be plotting her next gambit or just practicing Jedi mind tricks under the username Madre_Jedi. Either way, the chess world knows one thing: when Oksana Golubeva enters the arena, time is short, nerves are tested, and brilliance is guaranteed.
Hi Oksana (“Madre_Jedi”)!
Great work maintaining a high level in fast time-controls. You clearly enjoy dynamic, hyper-modern setups with both colours. Below is some targeted feedback based on your most recent streak of games.
What you already do well
- Opening flexibility. 1 Nf3 & g3 as White and the Pirc/Modern set-ups as Black let you steer the game into structures you know.
- Practical intuition. Your wins often feature timely breaks (e.g. c4-c5, d4-d5) and fearless pawn pushes (h4/h5 attacks) that keep opponents under pressure.
- Resourcefulness in complications. The win against chepf features the exchange sacrifice 18…Rc5, followed by active piece play—good “fighter’s spirit”.
Recurring trouble-spots
- Early king exposure in the Pirc-structures. Two quick losses (vs valentindd1010 & chepf) came after the sequence …Nd7, …b6, …Bb7 while f7 stayed undefended. A typical refutation is shown here: ➜ Consider the classical moves …Nf6, …g6, …Bg7, …0-0 first; postpone …b6 until the king is safe.
- Time management. 40 % of the recent losses were on time in equal or better positions. Tip: adopt a “three-phase clock” routine—(opening 20 %, middlegame 50 %, endgame 30 %)—and force yourself to move once your phase budget is gone.
- Tactical blunders in queenless middlegames. In the defeat vs simon_Agrest you entered a rook-and-pawn ending a pawn down and never regained counterplay. Practice basic rook endgames and learn the “side-check” drawing techniques.
- Over-pushing the h-pawn as White. Against solid opponents the plan Nf3–g3–d3–h4–h5 can leave g3/e3 weak. Mix in plans with b3 & c4 to stop …d5/d4 breaks before committing the kingside pawn storm.
Action plan for the next 4 weeks
| Theme | Weekly task |
|---|---|
| Opening repair | Build a “safe” Pirc move-order: 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Be2 0-0. Drill 20 games exclusively with this setup. |
| Tactics | 30 mins/day on mate-in-3 sets & discovered-attack themes. Keep a notebook of missed motifs. |
| Endgames | Study Chapter 2 (Rook vs. Pawn) of 100 Endgames You Must Know. Test yourself with 10 Lichess studies. |
| Clock control | Play five 5 + 5 games each weekend, vocalising “move-then-think” once below 1 m on the clock. |
