Patricia de Leon (aka Serly25)
Woman FIDE Master | Chess.com Aficionado
Patricia de Leon, or Serly25 in the vast digital battlegrounds of Chess.com, holds the distinguished title of Woman FIDE Master. A strategic warrior with a love for all things chess, Patricia is a player who combines patience with tactical brilliance—and a sprinkle of humor when the chips are down.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to 2079 in March 2021 and a rapid rating topping out at 2043 in August 2020, Patricia dances nimbly between speed and strategy. Bullet games also see sparks fly, as evidenced by a 2005 peak rating in September 2023. But don't be fooled by her speed; Patricia’s long winning streak hits 16 games, showing she’s more than just quick moves—she's consistent.
Playing Style & Stats
- Endgame Enthusiast: Patricia reaches the endgame stage with impressive frequency (80.53% of games), proving she's in it for the long haul.
- Comeback Queen: With an 89.15% comeback rate, giving up a piece is not a reason to panic—it’s a challenge she gladly accepts.
- Win Rates: White pieces bring a 47.62% win rate while Black stands strong at 37.82%. Turns out, both colors have their charm.
- Early Resignation? Zero tolerance here—Patricia battles till the last move (or until coffee runs out).
Interestingly, Patricia’s best chess moments come late at night. Her "Best Time of Day to Play" is a perfect midnight 22:00 hour, where her win rate by hour even touches a flawless 100% at 22:00 and 8:00 AM. Who knew vampires and early birds could share secrets?
Victory Highlights
In her most recent notable games, Patricia has showcased a cunning use of openings such as the French Defense Rubinstein variation and the Modern Defense, weaving intricate positions that find her opponents reaching for resignations or falling to checkmate. Her calm under pressure led to wins by resignation and checkmate alike—her competition left bewildered, often wondering if she moonlights as a magician.
When losing, Patricia occasionally stumbles on time or by checkmate, yet her psychological resilience keeps track with a tilt factor comfortably low at 16%. She knows how to dust herself off and return with a vengeance, fresh and ready to outwit.
Quirks & Fun Facts
- Longest winning streak equals longest losing streak at 16 games—balance in all things!
- Most played opponent? sstars747—a rivalry built on digital respect (and probably trash talk).
- Win rates fluctuate wildly by day, with Sundays and Thursdays being her lucky days (around 67% wins), while Tuesdays... not so much (25.84%). Maybe Tuesdays need fewer meetings and more queens.
To sum it up: Patricia de Leon is the player who will outwit you, outlast you, and maybe even out-hustle you with a cheeky grin on her virtual face. If chess had a loyalty card, she’d have maxed out twice by now.
Next time you log on, watch out for Serly25—because the board is her stage, and she’s ready to perform.
