Ariana Pintor, Woman FIDE Master

Meet Ariana Pintor, a chess virtuoso known both for her tactical brilliance and her unyielding spirit on the board. Bearing the prestigious title of Woman FIDE Master, Ariana is a force to be reckoned with across all game formats—from the lightning-fast Bullet to the thoughtful Daily battles that stretch minds and patience alike.

In 2020, Ariana’s Bullet rating peaked at a sizzling 2090, proving that speed doesn't faze her—though her win-loss record there suggests even champions have their off days (2 wins vs. 6 losses). In Rapid games, she dances elegantly with complexity, holding a balanced record and a top rating of 1837. Blitz enthusiasts admire her sharp instincts, with a peak rating close to 1990.

But it’s in her Daily games where Ariana truly shines, boasting a win rate over 57% across more than 100 games. Patience is her weapon of choice here, often battling opponents for long, strategic duels averaging over 50 moves per win.

Known for a remarkable longest winning streak of 13 games (yes, 13!), Ariana’s resilience is unmatched. Her comeback rate of nearly 65% and perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece might just give her opponents a reason to reconsider ever giving her material advantage.

On a psychological level, Ariana keeps her cool with a tilt factor of only 15, but woe betide any careless player who underestimates her—her rated games boast almost 38% better performance than casual matches. She performs best on Mondays and Tuesdays, so if you challenge her early in the week, be prepared for a battle royal.

Her playing style reflects an aggressive yet balanced approach: slightly better results with Black pieces (54%) than White (51%), frequent endgame appearances, and an early resignation rate of just 10% (because giving up is so not in her playbook).

Opponents beware: Ariana’s victory rates against many foes top 100%, while some lucky few have escaped with a 0% win rate. Favorites to play are maybe not on the agenda, since no one wants to be on the losing side repeatedly!

When not castling or plotting pins, Ariana Pintor’s chess journey is a tale of grit, humor, and constant learning—because every move, win or lose, is just another step toward mastery.
