Maud Rodsmoen: Woman FIDE Master and Chess Enthusiast
Also known in the chess community as maudsjakkerdeg, Maud Rodsmoen is a formidable titled player who proudly holds the title of Woman FIDE Master. Few can boast the blend of tactical acuity and psychological endurance that Maud exhibits on the digital battlefield.
Her chess journey reflects a passionate commitment to blitz, bullet, and rapid play, with a blitz peak rating near 2000 and bullet topping just shy of 1950. These numbers tell the tale of a player who relishes rapid-fire exchanges and quick strategic decisions—think of her as a chess ninja with a stopwatch.
Maud’s playing style? She’s a planner who often battles through the endgame, with an impressive 74.56% endgame frequency. Average moves per win exceed sixty-six, so patience is definitely one of her virtues—though patience is sometimes tested by a tilt factor of 13%, proving she’s not immune to the emotional rollercoaster of competitive chess. Even the best have their moments!
Not one to shy away from a comeback, Maud shines brightest when clawing back from adversity, showcasing a striking 74.72% comeback rate. When her piece goes missing, her fighting spirit wins nearly half her games back.
Her victories are as numerous as her losses, with a robust blitz record of 374 wins against 242 losses, and a bullet tally that proudly reads 505 wins. And speaking of streaks, Maud's longest winning streak reached a spectacular 19 games—perhaps fueled by a secret stash of chess-themed caffeine (or maybe just sheer love for the game).
Most recently, on September 30th, 2024, Maud secured a dazzling blitz victory against “Eirikeen” with a sharp Modern Defense, winning both on resignation and on time—a testament to her prowess whether on the clock or on the board.
Her obsessive devotion to openings is tantalizingly labeled "Top Secret," having played nearly 1,600 games under this mysterious banner across all time formats. If this intrigues you, perhaps it’s just the right moment to challenge Maud and try to crack her opening repertoire!
When it comes to timing, Maud’s optimal play happens around 4 PM, with the highest win rates in early afternoon hours—proving once and for all the theory that chess is the perfect afternoon espresso ritual.
Whether grinding out wins in online blitz marathons, exploring rapid strategies, or meticulously edging through daily games, Maud Rodsmoen remains a bright example of dedication, skill, and fun in the chess world.
