Her blitz rating has fluctuated gracefully over the years, peaking at a spine-tingling 2235 in 2021 — talk about winning by natural selection! With over 350 blitz games under her belt, Kristyna boasts a solid win record and a comeback rate of 91.53%, proving she’s as resilient as a cockroach under a microscope.

When it comes to rapid chess, Kristyna’s performance is equally formidable, topping out at a sharp 2255 in 2021. Faster than a nerve impulse, her games often thrive in the electric tension of ticking clocks.

Kristyna’s style exhibits a fascinating balance of patience and aggression, with an average of about 76 moves per win — proof she’s in it for the long haul, dissecting her opponents’ defenses move by move like a skilled biologist examining specimens under a lens. Interestingly, she tends to win more often playing white (46.56%) but remains dangerous playing black (42.54%), adapting like a true chess chameleon.
Off the board, Kristyna is known for her tactical creativity and mild-mannered humor — fans often say her games are a living organism, evolving unpredictably yet beautifully. Her longest winning streak is five games, and she’s currently riding a fresh 1-win streak, ready to multiply victories like cells in mitosis.
