Nastassja Matus: Woman FIDE Master and Chess Enthusiast

Meet Nastassja Matus, aka nastassjamatus—a fierce chess warrior who proudly holds the title of Woman FIDE Master. Nastassja’s journey through the 64 squares is peppered with tactical flair, a love for the opening called “Top Secret” (yes, really), and a knack for keeping opponents on their toes.

Nastassja's chess story began with steady blitz battles since 2013, growing from a modest 1300-something rating to an eye-popping peak of over 2000 in early 2023! Not one to shy away from fast-paced challenges, she also boasts bullet peaks nearing 1720, daily games that have soared up to 1944, and rapid play climbing towards 1984. Her style? Let’s just say she enjoys a quick resignation from opponents—but only after a deep strategic dance lasting 30+ moves, averaging about 33 moves per win. This player clearly respects the art of the long game... or at least knows when to pull the rug out.

If you're wondering about her white vs black games, Nastassja is particularly formidable with the white pieces, winning over 70% of her battles. Black shoulders a slightly humbler but still respectable win rate north of 53%. Opponents beware: this player is a comeback queen with almost 64% win rate after losing a piece, so throwing her a free pawn might just mean handing over the game!

Off the board, Nastassja's psychological resilience shines—she keeps a tilt factor low (level 5 out of 10), and has certain “magical” hours like 14:00 when her win rate hits a flawless 100%. Maybe she’s fueled by afternoon snacks or just pure brainpower, but something’s working.

She’s faced some opponents dozens of times and boasts flawless records against many, including “pbretas” and “dietcoke4u” (yes, really!). Her longest winning streak is a remarkable 13 games, and currently, she’s riding a 4-game winning streak—chess carnage continues.

Among her most recent victories, she crushed Emeraldknight441 in a well-fought daily match using the classic Caro-Kann Defense, winning on time after a tense middle game scramble. And while Nastassja sometimes stumbles (we all do), even her losses provide lessons from checkmate defeats to thrilling tactical skirmishes.

To sum up: Nastassja Matus is a master of the board, balancing tactical awareness and a psychological edge with a wink and maybe a bit of chess magic. Whether you're a budding player or a grandmaster in disguise, challenging nastassjamatus promises a game full of surprises!
