Suzy Cooke: The Woman FIDE Master with a Knack for Comebacks

Meet Suzy Cooke, a Woman FIDE Master who proves that chess is not just a game of kings but also of clever queens! Known in the chess community for her impressive tactical awareness and resilience, Suzy has an extraordinary 83.68% comeback rate — meaning when the going gets tough, Suzy gets going... sometimes even better than before.

Suzy thrives in the rapid and blitz formats, always ready to outwit her opponents with calculated moves. She reached a peak blitz rating of 2038 and boasts a blitz win rate of over 51% in the most popular opening known cleverly as “Top Secret.” Her games often average around 70 moves when she wins, which suggests she’s in for the long haul—battle tested and never one to resign early.

With a longest winning streak of 10 games, she's had her moments of pure domination. However, those who play her know to expect fierce battles till the very last pawn. Her endgame frequency is high (almost 80% of her games go to endgame), revealing her stamina and love for the intricate finale of the chess battlefield.

Perhaps Suzy’s most amusing quirk is that she apparently never gives up after losing a piece — she wins those games 100% of the time. Talk about turning lemons into a checkmated lemonade! She’s also got a tilt factor of only 7, so when the pieces don’t fall her way, she keeps her cool better than most caffeine-fueled players.

Popular days and times for Suzy’s chess glories include Sundays and Mondays with win rates over 53%, and if you challenge her around 9 AM? Good luck—she’s undefeated at that hour. Whether playing white or black, Suzy maintains a strong performance, and despite numerous clashes with some tough opponents, her determination shines through.

Off the board, Suzy Cooke is the kind of player who you’d imagine could beat you at trivia—and then calmly teach you the cleverest knight fork you've ever seen, all with a smile.
