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.
