Nikolina Koljevic - Woman FIDE Master

Meet Nikolina Koljevic, affectionately known in the chess world as NikolinaKol. A proud bearer of the Woman FIDE Master title, she’s not just a player; she’s a blitz-battle veteran who can think faster than you can say “checkmate.” With a peak rapid rating soaring past the 2000 mark in 2024, Nikolina’s rapid-fire tactics have left many opponents scratching their heads and wondering if they accidentally sat down at the wrong board.

Starting her chess journey as early as 2015 in blitz, she quickly progressed through the ranks, steadily climbing from a rating in the 1300s to a blistering 1892 peak in blitz play by the end of 2019. Her average blitz win rate hovers just above 52%, proving she’s got more than just luck on her side—she’s got strategy, skill, and the occasional sneaky queen sacrifice.

Not only does Nikolina shine under time pressure, but she’s also a formidable daily and rapid player. Her win rate in daily chess is a impressive 62.5%, showing patience is indeed a virtue in her game. And if you thought bullet chess was just frantic luck, think again—Nikolina has conquered bullet games with sharp focus and quick reflexes, clocking a peak rating of 1667 in 2020.

Playing Style and Personality

With an average of about 65 moves per victory, Nikolina isn’t one to rush to judgment. She prefers to outmaneuver opponents long-term rather than going for a quick knockout. An endgame enthusiast at heart, about 58% of her games venture deep into the final phases of battle, where her tactical wizardry shines the most.

Her tactical awareness is nothing to sneeze at either: nearly 80% of the time when she’s behind, she manages to make a comeback—a testament to her grit and determination. Just don’t expect her to quit early; her early resignation rate is a mere 2.8%, she believes every move counts... even the questionable ones!
