Miryam Calle - Woman FIDE Master & Blitz Virtuoso
Known to her fans and foes alike as MiryamCalle, this Woman FIDE Master dazzled the chess world primarily in blitz arenas with a peak rating of 1838 achieved in March 2011. If chess were a sprint, she’s the athlete who repeatedly left her opponents in the dust, boasting an impressive blitz win rate of over 82% over nearly 30 games.
Miryam’s style is a beautiful blend of endurance and tactical wizardry. With an average of 65 moves per win and a staggering 79% comeback rate after losing a piece, she’s not the type to roll over easily. And the numbers back it up — whether clutching victory with a resignation or sealing deals with a brilliant checkmate, her games are a chess lover’s delight. Resignation wins top her stopping methods with 12 victories; times out happen too, but hey, even chess masters forget the clock sometimes!
While her daily chess adventures are modest — only a single recorded game with a 1200 rating — her blitz legacy shines bright. Miryam seems to thrive under pressure, especially in the early hours of the day with a perfect win rate at 0:00 and 1:00 AM and 100% wins on Fridays and at 7 PM. Whether it’s the witching hour or prime time, she knows how to keep her cool and outthink opponents.
Her opening repertoire? A well-kept secret... literally. Most games revolve around “Top Secret” openings with an impressive blitz win rate against all challengers, except a few notorious names who managed to sneak a rare loss past her.
