Maritza Valdes Hernandez

Woman FIDE Master & Bullet Chess Connoisseur

Meet Maritza Valdes Hernandez, a formidable Woman FIDE Master whose chess prowess shines brightest in the fast and furious world of bullet chess. With a peak bullet rating tipping the scales at an impressive 2345 in 2025, Maritza has proven to be both swift and strategic—a rare combination in the chaotic bullet arena.

Maritza's chess journey is nothing if not prolific; with over 34,000 bullet games played, she has a wealth of experience packed into each lightning-fast move. Her win count close to 16,400 games speaks volumes about her resilience and ability to strike when it matters, even when the clock is ticking down quicker than most hearts can beat.

But don’t be fooled by the rapidity of her play—this master tactician has a staggering 92.13% comeback rate and somehow achieves a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, Maritza channels her inner phoenix every game, rising from the ashes of blunders to score stunning victories. The only thing she loses nearly as much as her opponents? Their hopes and dreams of winning!

Besides bullet, Maritza holds strong credentials in blitz chess. She consistently maintains ratings above 2100, proving she’s equally comfortable in those slightly less frantic moments. While rapid and daily formats see fewer games, she remains a fierce competitor with a Woman FIDE Master title backing her prowess.

A subtle nuance in her style is her tendency to embrace grueling endgames, with an average move count of roughly 82 in wins and 80 in losses. Patience might not be her default mood, but she clearly knows how to outlast opponents when the battle slows down.

Maritza enjoys a solid white win rate slightly edging near 50%, while black pieces bring a respectable 44.22% success—always putting opponents on notice no matter which color she picks. Early resignation is rare, only about 0.76%, proving opponents rarely get to save time by giving up early.

Off the board, Maritza enjoys a good challenge and a dash of unpredictability, much like her opponents’ records ranging from nearly perfect wins against some, to some mere pasillos in her kingdom where she tends to dominate mercilessly.

Fun fact: Maritza once rattled off a 17-game winning streak in bullet chess, probably while sipping an espresso... or three. Her infamous streak made opponents lose sleep, wondering if they were facing a human or a supercomputer in disguise.

In summary, Maritza Valdes Hernandez combines rapid-fire speed, strategic endurance, and an ironclad tactical brain. She’s the kind of player you want on your team, or slightly afraid to face—because if she blinks, she just might make your queen disappear.

Keep an eye on Maritza: the bullet queen with the heart of a grinder and the reflexes of a cat!
