Rosangela dos Ramos - Woman FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Rosangela dos Ramos, the chess player who has earned her title as a Woman FIDE Master — yes, officially recognized but still humble enough to keep the mystery around her opening moves. Rosangela's chess journey is a roller coaster of strategy, skill, and a pinch of delightful unpredictability.
Chess Career Highlights
Starting with a modest rapid rating of 1404 in 2011, Rosangela steadily sharpened her skills, peaking impressively at 1805 in rapid in 2021, showcasing her resilience and devotion to the game. Her blitz peak nudged nearly to 1691, while her daily chess exploits saw her reach a commanding 1907 rating in 2015. Not to be outdone, in the realm of bullet chess—speed and split-second decisions—she hit a nifty 1319.
Playing Style & Personality
With a knack for long, thoughtful endgames (playing an average of 73 moves per win), Rosangela embodies patience — or some might say, sheer stubbornness! She’s famous for bouncing back from tough spots, boasting a spectacular 70.56% comeback rate when the going gets rough. Early resignations are rare (under 3%), proving she fights until the last rook falls or the opponent taps out.
Her white pieces have secured victories 51.48% of the time, and with the black, she’s even sneakier, clinching wins a little more often (52.54%). Opponents beware: when Rosangela is in the zone, checkmate’s not far behind!
Streaks and Rivalries
Rosangela's longest winning streak is an impressive 11 games, proving that when the stars align, she’s unstoppable. That said, chess can be humbling — her longest losing streak hit 9, reminding us all that even Woman FIDE Masters occasionally meet their match.
She’s battled several familiar foes repeatedly, showing an 80% win rate over tough competitors like donovan07 and a perfect record against many others including nerve0fsteel and reynaajedrez. Rosangela’s win percentage tends to improve when facing opponents with lower ratings, showing a solid grasp on maintaining dominance.
Memorable Matches
One of her recent crowning moments was a swift victory by resignation in a rapid game on November 15, 2022, where she confidently opened with 1.e4 and swiftly outplayed her opponent before they threw in the towel. Another gem from August 8, 2022, was a beautiful, poetic checkmate against donovan07 that demonstrates Rosangela’s flair for turning even the most tense positions into triumphs.
Of course, not every battle ends in glory — her last noted loss came in August 2022 due to a time scramble, proving that sometimes it’s not just the moves but the clock that dictates fate.
Off the Board
When not plotting her next chess conquest, Rosangela probably enjoys a good laugh, proving that behind every Woman FIDE Master is a human who knows the value of a well-timed joke after a brutal midgame. After all, chess is a serious game, but Rosangela reminds us it’s also about enjoying every check, every mate, and every delightful blunder.
Final Thoughts
With a cocktail of solid strategy, psychological grit, and a sprinkle of charm, Rosangela dos Ramos is a chess player worth knowing — a master of both the board and, likely, the witty after-game banter.
Rosangela dos Ramos – Personalized Coaching Feedback
1. Big-picture overview
• Current form: you are usually rated around 1805 (2021-08-22), and your wins frequently
come from energetic e4 openings that lead to sharp
middlegames.
• Losses: more than half of the recent defeats were “on time”, signalling a
clock-management issue rather than a pure chess deficit.
• Activity profile: see your own trends in
2. What you already do well
- Tactical eye – Nice use of intermediate moves such as 8.Rxe7+!! in the Two Knights win against donovan07.
- King safety awareness when castling long – Your Black wins with the Modern/Pirc show good feel for counter-attacking on dark squares after castling short.
- Practical opening choices – The “d3 & f4” system (KIA style) scores well for you and avoids heavy theory.
3. Recurrent problems to fix
- Time trouble
• Six of your last ten losses ended by flag or in positions you could still defend.
• You often spend ≥4 minutes in the first 10 moves even in familiar structures. - Pawns over-extended
• Pushes like h4–h5 or early b4 without support created holes the opponent exploited (see the loss vs megisss). - Endgame conversion
• A couple of won or equal rook endings were lost because of passive king and poor pawn structure. Basic rook-endgame drills will add 30–40 rating points fast. - Opening redundancy
• As Black you alternate between the Modern, Pirc and Caro-Kann. None is bad, but dividing study time among three defences slows deep progress.
4. Action plan (next 4 weeks)
| Focus | Drill / Resource | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Clock handling | Play 10 games of 5 + 5 with the rule “move 10 by 4:30”. Review only obvious blunders afterwards. | Reduce average time per move in the opening to 8–10 s. |
| Tactics | Solve 20 rated puzzles daily. Stop after 3 consecutive errors. | Raise puzzle rating by +150. |
| Endgames | Study Lucena, Philidor and “rook vs. pawn” setups; then practise 15 sparring positions vs. the computer. | Convert a pawn-up rook ending ≥80 % of the time. |
| Opening depth | Commit to one Black defence (recommend the Caro-Kann). Build a 12-move “map” and play it exclusively for two weeks. | Reach +55 % score with Caro-Kann positions. |
5. Quick demonstration corner
Below is a condensed motif you executed perfectly; keep repeating ideas like these:
[[Pgn|1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.O-O Nxe4 5.Re1 Nd6 6.Nxe5 Qe7 7.Nxc6 dxc6 8.Rxe7+ Bxe7 9.Be2|fen|rnbqk2r/ppp2ppp/2pnb3/1B6/4P3/8/PPPPBPPP/RNBQ1RK1 b kq - 4 9]]6. Motivational closer
Your attacking flair already produces brilliancies. Pair it with sharper time discipline and a narrower opening focus, and you should push past 1800 rapid in short order. Train smart, keep the pieces active, and enjoy the climb!
