Mengjie Qiu (mengjane) - Woman International Master
Meet Mengjie Qiu, also known in the chess realm as mengjane, a Woman International Master with a knack for blitz and bullet chess that could make even supercomputers blink twice! Mengjane's journey started humbly with a modest Daily rating in 2016, but they quickly blitzed their way up to a peak blitz rating of 2204 in early 2020 — no small feat in the fast-paced adrenaline rush of online chess battles.
With over 200 blitz games under their belt and a win rate just shy of 57%, Mengjane thrives in the pressure cooker of rapid decision-making. Bullet games? Even better. An impressive 74% win rate there with nearly flawless execution shows nimble fingers and an even quicker mind. And if you ever catch them playing Rapid, prepare for a tactical thriller as their recent peak of 2147 reveals a player who's ready to shine in any time control.
Playing Style & Psychology
Ever the fighter, Mengjane boasts a remarkable 80.35% comeback rate after falling behind — clearly someone who refuses to fold early (despite a small penchant for early resignation at 1.79%, because sometimes even masters know when to call it!). Playing with White is slightly more fruitful, holding a winning rate of nearly 63%, but Black pieces are no afterthought either with over 53% wins.
They display a strong endgame frequency (about 75.5%), taking their opponents into deep strategic waters, where patience and precision rule. Fun fact: their average winning game lasts about 73 moves, so don't expect an early espresso break if you face Mengjane!
Memorable Moments
One recent shining star moment was a beautifully orchestrated mate on November 3, 2024, against Liqun36, sealing victory in just about 26 moves with an elegant finale — talk about checkmate chic! Of course, not every game is a fairy tale; loss streaks can reach up to 7 games, but with a tilt factor of only 7%, Mengjane keeps cool and back to the board for redemption.
Fun Stats to Impress Your Friends
- Longest winning streak: 23 games. Imagine the celebrations (or the coffee consumption)!
- Best hours to battle? Early mornings at 6 AM and even the 21st hour — night owls to watch out for.
- Victory types mostly by resignation, showing a psychological edge in outplaying that opponent until they give up.
Whether it's bullet, blitz, or rapid, Mengjane's blend of tactical savvy and fighting spirit makes them a formidable presence on any chessboard. Next time you see a "mengjane" challenge pop up, prepare for a storm of quick moves and strategic depth!
