Beginning in 2023 with a meteoric rise from a humble 224 rating, Redzana's rapid games quickly turned into battles of tactical fireworks, resilience, and the occasional, well-timed resignation (6.8% of the time to be exact). Despite some ups and downs—who doesn’t have losing streaks of 8 games?—this player consistently demonstrates a knack for clawing back with a dramatic 71.8% comeback rate, proving that the game isn’t over until the last pawn dances.
Redzana's style mixes a love for the English Opening – King’s English Variation (win rate of 58%) with adventurous detours into the Scandinavian Defense and the Center Game. There’s an unmistakable strategic flair intertwined with a willingness to try unexpected lines like the frenetic Englund Gambit—yes, that cheeky opening that catches many off guard.

Statistical Shenanigans
With over 2,299 rapid games played, Redzana's performance is a saga of nearly equal wins and losses, with a sprinkle of draws in between.
