Ngọc Thuỷ Nguyễn Trần - Woman FIDE Master
Meet Ngọc Thuỷ Nguyễn Trần, also known in the chess realm as nanguyen, a formidable Woman FIDE Master who has made a name for themselves on the chessboard with a blend of tactical brilliance and dogged perseverance. This tactical wizard might not secretly be a grandmaster under disguise, but with a longest winning streak of 22 games, one could be forgiven for thinking otherwise!
Rating and Performance
Starting from humble beginnings, Ngọc Thuỷ's rapid rating climbed impressively from just over 1300 in 2014 to a peak near 1960 in 2020. Blitz and bullet formats show even more sparkle, with bullet ratings soaring as high as 2440—that’s lightning speed and sharp calculation in action. Whether it is the slower-paced Daily games or the ultra-fast Bullet battles, nanguyen brings a fierce competitive spirit, boasting solid win records across all time controls.
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for a high endgame frequency (over 76%), Ngọc Thuỷ is the kind of player who enjoys squeezing every last advantage when the kings come out to dance.

Remarkably, after losing a piece, this player has a 100% win rate — talk about turning setbacks into spectacular comebacks!
Watch out opponents: nanguyen has an 83.92% comeback rate, and simply refuses to throw in the towel early, resigning in under 2% of games. It’s clear that Ngọc Thuỷ fights till the end, letting the chessboard be their battlefield and proving that resilience is the best strategy.
Psychological Quirks and Fun Facts
Everyone has their off days. Ngọc Thuỷ’s tilt factor stands at 13 — in other words, if frustration were a chess piece, it would be the pesky knight hopping chaotically across the board. Despite that occasional hiccup, their overall love for the game shines through, with an ongoing winning streak currently at 2 and a penchant for besting longtime opponents such as jack260113 with an outstanding win rate of nearly 85%!
Fun tidbit: Their “Top Secret” opening (because the data is... well, top secret!) yields impressive win rates across all time controls, including a dazzling 80% win rate in Daily games. Whether it’s blitz, bullet, rapid, or daily, nanguyen refuses to be outfoxed.
Legacy & Community
As a respected member of the chess community, Ngọc Thuỷ’s journey is a testament to passion, persistence, and the occasional sprinkle of chess magic. Whether analyzing openings, grinding through long endgames, or blitzing away opponents in mere seconds, nanguyen exemplifies the spirit of competitive chess with a smile (and perhaps a coffee nearby).
