Krishi Shah (aka QueenKriz) - Woman FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Krishi Shah, proudly carrying the prestigious title of Woman FIDE Master, is a chess force with a flair for strategic wizardry and a knack for sneaky checkmates. Known online as QueenKriz, Krishi’s journey through the 64 squares reads like a thrilling chess novel peppered with brilliant victories, cheeky tactics, and a dash of humor.
Rating and Style
Peak Rapid rating? A snappy 1793, reached in the sunny summer of 2020 (July, to be exact). In Blitz, QueenKriz zips around with a praiseworthy 1649, while their Daily chess experiments clock in at a steady 1200. Rapid play is where the magic truly happens, boasting a robust 54.55% win rate in the secretive opening variations they love.
With a delightful playing style characterized by patience and perseverance, Krishi is not one to resign early — only about 8% early resignations, thank you very much! Their endgame frequency is a solid 71%, proving the battles often last well beyond opening fireworks. Fun fact: When White, wins come more often than not (68.42%), and even with Black, the queen keeps her crown with a 52.63% success rate.
Noteworthy Stats & Quirks
- Longest winning steak? 6 games - because once QueenKriz starts winning, there’s no stopping!
- Current winning streak is a fresh 1, so the fire is still burning bright 🔥
- Tilt factor — practically negligible at 3 — apparently, QueenKriz keeps calm better than a chess clock on pause.
- Comeback artist alert! A stunning 65% win rate after being in a tricky spot, proving resilience is key.
Signature Victories
Among the thrilling recent wins, the January 28, 2022, match against AbadAlvaro was a masterpiece. QueenKriz executed a stunning checkmate after a brilliant Bishop's Opening (ECO C23). You can see the game here — it’s like a short chess movie with a happy ending.
Opponent Insights
QueenKriz isn’t shy about facing down familiar foes. They’ve squared off most against akshat014, sonik8888, and mirsaid192 (two games each). Against moethuaung214, it’s a perfect 100% win rate, but akshat014 has proven pesky with zero wins for Krishi in their matchups. The Queen also has a rather amusingly named opponent record against a user called doghateme—spoiler: that one didn't end well for Krishi.
Playing Times & Preferences
QueenKriz’s favorite time to clock in victories? Bright and early at 10 AM, with a 100% win rate - because who doesn't love starting the day with some decisive strategic moves? Saturdays and Thursdays are also prime checkmating times with win rates north of 65%. The Queen moves and wins best when the coffee is hot and the mind sharper than a freshly sharpened pencil.
Final Checkmate
Always a showstopper, here’s a little slice of Krishi’s style: a beautifully crafted checkmate on January 28, 2022, against AbadAlvaro that left spectators and pawns alike gasping. It’s sharp, clean, and unapologetically elegant — a fitting hallmark for a player who commands the board like a monarch.
To sum up, QueenKriz is that delightful blend of grit, wit, and chessboard elegance — always ready to outwit, outplay, and outlast, with a grin that says, “Did you really think I was going to resign?”
Feedback for Krishi Shah
Krishi, you've demonstrated a solid understanding of fundamental chess principles through your recent games, especially in openings and tactical sharpness. Here’s some detailed feedback to help you improve further:
Positives
- Opening Play: You have a good grasp of classical openings such as the Bishop’s Opening and the French Defense. Your moves like
e4andBc4set up strong control over the center early on. Keep refining your opening repertoire by studying key variations and typical middlegame plans. - Tactical Awareness: Many of your wins show strong tactical combinations, including well-timed checks and piece sacrifices that lead to checkmate or material gains. Your ability to exploit opponent’s mistakes, such as in your winning game with a mating net at
26. Qd7#, is impressive. - Endgame Technique: Long games like the one ending with
77. Kb6display patience and persistence in converting advantages. Practicing endgames will continue to improve your conversion rate.
Areas to Improve
- Time Management: In some of your losses, time trouble was a critical factor. Work on balancing calculation depth with clock management—try to avoid spending too much time in the opening and early middlegame so you have enough left for complex positions.
- Positional Understanding: While your tactical play is good, integrating more positional concepts can reduce risks. For example, in a few games your pawn structures became weakened (isolated or doubled pawns), or knights and bishops were exchanged prematurely. Study pawn structure and piece activity to enhance your positional play.
- Defensive Play: There were some losses where defense could have been more resilient, particularly in the middle game under pressure. Try to remain calm and look for active counterplay or exchanges when under attack. Reviewing defensive techniques and common defensive motifs can be beneficial.
Next Steps
- Review your recent losses in detail, especially the critical middle game moments. Consider annotating where you or your opponent missed stronger continuations.
- Work on tactical puzzles focusing on common motifs such as forks, pins, skewers, and discovered attacks to sharpen your calculation speed and accuracy.
- Study one opening deeply at a time. For instance, refine your understanding of the Bishop’s Opening with examples of typical plans and traps.
- Practice endgame fundamentals, starting with king and pawn endings and basic minor piece endings, to improve your confidence in converting small advantages.
- Regularly analyze your games with a chess engine and/or coach to learn from mistakes and learn new ideas.
Keep enjoying the game and playing consistently. With your talent for spotting tactics, combining this with strategic knowledge and good time management will raise your level significantly!
