Awarded the prestigious Woman International Master title by FIDE, Anahi has been dazzling the chess world with her blend of tactical wizardry and resilient comebacks.
Journey Through the Ranks
From humble beginnings in blitz ratings around 1300 in 2013, Anahi rocket-launched herself into the 2600+ blitz elite by 2024! Along the way, she's mastered rapid and bullet chess too, peaking at impressive ratings of 2286 in rapid and 2365 in bullet. Her favorite time to make magic on the board? Midday, with a 100% win rate recorded at 12 PM—perhaps fueled by a chess-fuel staple: coffee.
Playing Style & Personality
Known for her tenacity, Anahi’s comeback rate stands at a whopping 86%, proving she's never out of the fight—even when the odds (and the clock) turn against her. She combines a love for long, calculated endgames (her average win clocking in at 76 moves) with a surprising readiness to resign early in clearly lost positions, conserving energy for the next battle. Her games often feature intense tactical scrambles, but her psychological resilience is what truly sets her apart.

Memorable Moments
Her most recent victory? A well-fought battle in a Benoni Defense game where she skillfully forced her opponent to resign after a grueling 56 moves of tactical finesse. Not bad for a day’s work!
Off the Board
When Anahi isn’t hunting kings on the 64 squares, she’s probably plotting her next clever move in life or collecting legendary chess memes. With a tilt factor of 14, she’s human enough to get a little salty when defeated—but she bounces back faster than a chess piece on a spring-loaded board.
In short, whether it’s blitz, rapid, or classic forms of chess combat, Anahi Ortiz Verdezoto plays with passion, precision, and a hint of wit that keeps both opponents and fans on their toes.
