Алёна Гармаш - Woman FIDE Master and Blitz Aficionado
Meet Алёна Гармаш, known in the chess universe by the enigmatic handle poluprovodnik01. As a proud holder of the Woman FIDE Master title, Алёна mixes calculated strategy with a sprinkle of blitz speed that would make even the timer nervous.
Since 2022, Алёна has dazzled opponents on the 64 squares with a peak Blitz rating of 2411, demonstrating resilience and flair in fast-paced games. While her win-loss record could use some polishing—29 wins to 53 losses with a handful of draws—her tactical awareness is nothing short of inspiring. An impressive 82.76% comeback rate means that when things look grim, Алёна often flips the script, much like a plot twist in a thriller novel.
With an endgame frequency topping 94%, she clearly believes the real magic happens when pieces start to vanish and only kings remain — where patience and precision march hand in hand. And she averages nearly 87 moves per win, proving her games are long, dramatic battles rather than sprint finishes.
Notably, Алёна is undefeated against some top rivals like ural58 and beligerantepr, achieving 100% wins—respect to these chess friends for being worthy but still no match! Other opponents have enjoyed better fortunes, reminding us all that in chess, every day is a school day.
The queen of timing, Алёна’s best hour to strike on the board is 14:00, when her win rate hits a perfect 100%. She clearly knows how to seize the moment—after all, who wouldn’t want to dominate right after lunch?
On the lighter side, her longest winning spree is a commendable 5 games, while her longest tough patch lasted 6 losses. Currently, she’s cool as ever with no active winning streak but only a single game in the losing column. As all chess players know, form is a dance of ups and downs — and Алёна is waltzing impressively!
Memorable Victory
Her most recent gem was a blitz game won by checkmate against JuanCGlez, featuring a classic King's Indian Defense. The final mate was delivered in just over 40 moves, showcasing skillful positional play and a tactical finish that left no room for mercy.
