Monica Calzetta Ruiz
Woman Grandmaster (WGM) Extraordinaire
Monica Calzetta Ruiz – or as the chess boards know her, "Monicalzetta" – is a formidable force in the chess world, wielding her pieces like an artist with a brush. A Woman Grandmaster certified by FIDE, she has not only earned prestigious titles but has also racked up a blitz rating peak of 2059 and an impressive rapid rating topping 2327 in the summer of 2020.
Playing Style & Stats
Monica blends deep endgame prowess (she frequently drags games well past the opening with an average of nearly 55 moves per win!) with tactical fireworks, boasting a comeback rate of nearly 87% — clearly proof she’s not one to be written off early. Despite an early resignation rate of only about 7%, she knows when to bow out gracefully and save energy for the next battle.
Playing with White is her forte, with a winning rate over 70%, while she still holds a respectable 58% when rocking the Black pieces. Her chess clock seems happiest around 7 PM, where her win rate hits a perfect 100%—monetize that peak time, Monica!
Winning & Losing: The Stats of a Warrior
With over 27 wins in blitz and a nearly 3:1 win-to-loss ratio, Monica clearly knows how to put on a show. Her longest winning streak? A cool 7 games in a row. That losing streak glare? Only 4 games, swiftly countered by sharp tactical awareness and a 67% winning rate even after losing a piece – talk about resilience!
The Opponents' Nightmare
Among her rivals, some have experienced the sting of defeat multiple times (like inyerdreams, who lost all 5 encounters), while others (sorry, lachezarnedelushev) have managed to hold their ground or even dampen her statistics a little. But watch out: names like “blitzking1729” or “megben” come with a 100% loss record against Monica – the chess board has evidently been unkind to them.
Latest Showdown Highlight
In her most recent victory on August 15, 2020, Monica danced through the Sicilian Defense (B32 variation), wrapping her opponent up in a neat resignation after 23 moves of tactical brilliance. The game was a masterclass in pressure and precision, starting with a humble e4 and culminating in a queen and rook battery that left her opponent no choice but to concede.
