Arshiya Das — The Woman FIDE Master with a Blitzheart

Known online as missponyo10, Arshiya Das is not just a chess player but a chess storm wrapped in a riddle wearing a crown of pawns. Earning the title of Woman FIDE Master, Arshiya’s journey through the 64 squares is a roller coaster of brilliant wins, narrow escapes, and the occasional, but never quite humiliating, losses.

Rating Rollercoaster & Stats

Starting from humble beginnings with a blitz rating around the 900 mark back in 2017, Arshiya’s blitz skills shot into the stratosphere, peaking at an impressive 2318 in January 2025. Not content with just blinking in the fast-paced blitz world, she maintains a rapid rating near 1900 and a bullet peak around 1968—because why not play at the speed of light?

Across all time controls, Arshiya boasts a solid win rate with 457 blitz wins out of 804 games and a respectable rapid record. Her favorite opening in blitz? The enigmatic Top Secret, boasting a swaggering 64.42% win rate. Could it be a real secret, or just a killer surprise for her opponents?

Playing Style — The Tale of Tricks and Timeouts

Arshiya’s chess style blends tactical sharpness with psychological endurance. She’s known for a notable comeback rate of 63.57%, meaning when the chips are down, Arshiya is likely cooking up a trap your grandpa warned you about. However, with an early resignation rate of about 26%, sometimes the queen just knows when to bail out and call it a day — a pragmatic approach or just an artist who knows the beauty of measured defeat?

Her best hour to hit the chess battlefield is 9 PM, when the stars align and her win rate shoots up to a perfect 100% (well, statistically speaking, at least for some mysterious opponents). When playing white, she scores a strong 57.7% win rate, and as black, she’s no pushover with over 53% wins.

Psychology & Quirks — Tilt Factor & Timeouts

Revealing a human side, Arshiya has a tilt factor of 12 — meaning she’s got moments when losing a piece feels like losing her keys, but she bounces back remarkably well. Interestingly, many wins come via timeout and resignation by opponents (“Sorry, I couldn’t handle missponyo10!”), adding a comedic flair to her competitive narrative.

Memorable Battles & Famous Victories

One of the most recent blitz victories came on April 30, 2025, against “Pitothepowerofx” in a thrilling Scandinavian Defense Modern Variation, where Arshiya patiently squeezed the initiative before winning on time. These games reflect her sharp endgame sense and stamina across long sessions (average moves per win hover around 55).

Rivalries and Records

Arshiya keeps her friends close and opponents like “rajacholan” and “wqws” even closer — with 6 matches each against them. She’s undefeated against a slew of players boasting a 100% win rate, perhaps reminding us that some are born to win, others to lose gracefully.

Final Checkmate on Boredom

Whether chewing down on the clock in bullet or methodically crafting positional masterpieces in rapid, Arshiya Das is a player full of surprises and dedication. The board is her playground, and the opponents? Well, they better watch out, because missponyo10 plays to win — or at least to keep the game interesting and fun!
