Renee Blandy T. Brambilla
Woman National Master | Chess Enthusiast | Occasional Checkmate Artist
Meet Renee Blandy T. Brambilla, a dedicated and titled chess player proudly holding the Woman National Master title. Known on the boards and online as reneebrambilla, Renee's journey through the ranks is a tale of perseverance, clever tactics, and a healthy appetite for thrilling endgames.
Renee's chess adventures shine brightest in the Rapid format, boasting a peak rating of 1714 achieved in early 2022, where strategic brilliance and quick thinking are king. Blitz battles reveal a fierce competitor too, peaking at 1329. Bullet might be less her battlefield — a humble 800 peak rating there reminds us even the fastest runners sometimes catch their breath!
Throughout her career, Renee has showcased a near-perfect balance of wins and losses, especially in Blitz, where her record stands at an impressive 466 wins, 462 losses, and a few peaceful draws to keep the tension alive. Rapid encounters reflect a solid winning edge, with over 300 victories and a steady psychological resilience, bouncing back 80% of the time even after losing material.
Speaking of psychology, Renee does have a little tilt factor of 8, proving even seasoned masters can get mildly rattled — but it's hardly noticeable given her come-from-behind comebacks! Her best hour to unleash chess fury? 1 PM, possibly fueled by a tactical latte or a spy on the queen’s gambit.
Style and Strategy
- Favours long, thoughtful endgames with an average of ~60 moves per win.
- Almost equally comfortable with White and Black sides, boasting a win rate just over 50% in both.
- Likes keeping opponents guessing, wielding "Unknown Opening" strategies with nearly a 49% win rate in Blitz.
- Most dreaded streak? An 8-game losing streak, balanced by an inspiring 10-game winning streak that could make rook and pawn formations jealous.
Recent Highlights
In a recent thrilling match against traskine77, Renee orchestrated a beautiful checkmate using the Queen’s Gambit Accepted – Central Variation. With knight and rook forming a final symphony of attack, she delivered mate flawlessly, reminding all that precision beats panic.
Not all tales are triumphant, however. A recent encounter saw Renee losing on time against kelzona in a tense Sicilian Defense battle. But like any true master, Renee treats losses as lessons and fuel for the next match.
Fun Fact
Despite being a fierce tactician, Renee apparently has a 50% win rate against "kaegse" — proving that even masters have their Arch-nemeses! But with a 100% winning record against many others, the balance sheet definitely tips in her favor.
Whether blitzing through rapid-fire games or diving deep into patient endgames, Renee Blandy T. Brambilla is a force to be reckoned with on the 64 squares — and a great reminder that chess is as much about passion and spirit as it is about pieces and points.
