Mireya Represa Perez (mrp2702)
Meet Mireya Represa Perez, a proud Woman FIDE Master whose chessboard adventures prove that the game of kings can be a playground for queens too! With a peak blitz rating soaring at an impressive 2137 in September 2023, Mireya demonstrates a lightning-fast style that even the best have to respect. Her rapid rating peaked slightly below that at 2019, and she’s no slouch in bullet either, hitting a top of 1557.
Mireya’s games are a rollercoaster — sometimes full of dramatic comebacks (a comeback rate of nearly 67%) and other times peppered with swift checkmates that leave her opponents wondering if they blinked at the wrong time. She has a fondness for endings, spending time in the trenches with an endgame frequency above 85%. Apparently, if you see Mireya reaching a late-stage battle, be prepared for a marathon of strategy and nerve.
Her playing style is a quirky blend of patience and aggression. She averages about 62 moves per win, showing that she doesn’t settle for quick victories — unless it’s time control roulette, where her blitz and bullet skills tend to shine brightest. Moreover, Mireya has never been known for the early resignation; she fights until the throne is either secured or lost.
Fun fact: Mireya’s best hour to play is at 7 AM sharp, which is probably when her coffee and chess pieces are equally charged. Her longest winning streak is 2 games, while the longest losing streak is also 2 — a nicely balanced emotional rollercoaster that proves she’s no stranger to the ups and downs of competitive chess.
Her opening moves are still a "Top Secret," but with a 25% win rate in rapid and a perfect 100% win in blitz over limited sample sizes, opponents beware! She has recorded wins against several rivals including the formidable "foxps" and "lentejov," reminding us all that every piece on the board counts — especially when wielded by a WFM with determination (and a dash of humor).
The most recent glamour moment? A masterful checkmate in a blitz duel against FoxPS (2137 vs 2076), securing her shining place on the leaderboard with style and precision.
All in all, Mireya Represa Perez is a fierce competitor who blends savvy strategy, tactical grit, and a bit of charm. Whether in rapid battles or blitz skirmishes, she’s a player to watch — and perhaps laugh with, especially when she cheekily reminds us that chess is fun, even at the grandmaster level.

Hi Mireya!
Great job keeping an active tournament schedule and crossing the 2100 blitz line (2137 (2023-09-01))—that takes commitment. Below is a personalized review based on your latest games.
What you already do well
- Fearless initiative. Your most-recent win (Pirc, 1-0 vs. FoxPS) shows how comfortably you launch pawn storms on opposite-side castlings. 11.h5!! and 17.e5!? underline an intuitive sense for tempo and piece activity.
- Tactical alertness. Combining 25.Nd6+ with the double rook battery (21.Rd6!) reveals good board vision and pattern recognition—skills that decide fast time-controls.
- Resilience with Black. Your Najdorf win vs. 1664 (0-1 as Black) featured an instructive exchange-up conversion where you neutralized White’s pressure before counter-punching on the dark squares.
Growth opportunities
- Time management. In both rapid and bullet you often reach critical positions with <10 s (e.g., 24.Nxb5 took 40 s, leaving you at 0:32). Train yourself to freeze at three moments—opening transition, first tactic, and endgame entry—to keep ≥30 % of your clock for the last 20 moves.
- Central pawn tension. In the loss vs. Ave_Mariia you advanced 14.c5 without completing development, allowing …Nf4 → …Nd3/d3 ideas. Re-watch that game and ask, “Which pawn breaks are mandatory vs. optional?” A quick rule: if half your pieces are undeveloped, maintain the tension.
- Defensive technique. When under pressure you sometimes “drift” instead of creating counter-threats (see 31.Red1? vs. 2257; …Rad8! piled up). Study classic games where defense turns into counterplay—Karpov is a model.
- Endgame conversion. Several wins stall in R+N vs. R+N endings. Focus on principles of two weaknesses and the “four-point rule” for converting extra pawns.
Action plan for the next 30 days
- Drill a 15-minute “tight openings” repertoire. Pick one main line each vs. 1.e4 and 1.d4 and rehearse with the Woodpecker method: play 10 blitz games focusing only on move-12 knowledge, ignore the result.
- Daily tactics, but timed. 10 puzzles @ 3 min each; if you see the idea but not the full line, move. This mirrors your real-game pace.
- Endgame mini-plan. Finish Silman’s “Minor Piece vs. Pawns” chapter; then solve 20 rook-endgame studies (max 5 min each). Tag the ones you fail and repeat weekly.
- One annotated rapid per week. Play 15 + 10, annotate within 24 h, and send the PGN to a stronger player or coach for feedback. Include critical positions (▼) and your candidate moves.

When do you win most?
Which days are hot streaks?
Key motif to add to your toolbox
Study the “Octopus Knight” on d6/f6 (you used it in 25.Nd6+). Look up games by Kasparov where this piece dominates, and note how he freezes enemy pieces before switching wings.
Quick glossary refresh
- zugzwang – position where any move worsens the situation.
- zwischenzug – an intermezzo; you employed one with 22.Rxh8! before recapturing material.
Keep the momentum!
You have a dynamic style and the tactical foundations to push toward 2200. Sharpen the non-glamorous areas—time usage, defense, and endings—and the rating gains will follow naturally.
See you on the board, and feel free to send over your next annotated game!
