Sonia Gil Quilez (SGQ)

Meet Sonia Gil Quilez, a Woman FIDE Master whose chessboard presence is as commanding as her title. For those who appreciate a tactical battle, SGQ is a force to be reckoned with—boasting a blitz peak rating of 2167 and a bullet high of 2102. While some players fold under pressure, Sonia folds your opponents with a comeback rate north of 80% and the uncanny ability to win after losing a piece every single time. Talk about turning lemons into checkmates!

Sonia's chess style is part marathon, part sprint, averaging around 68 moves in both wins and losses, proving endurance in every phase of the game. With an endgame frequency over 71%, she prefers settling the score when the board is sparse—where precision really counts. Early resignation? A mere 6.2% of the time—SGQ plays to the very last pawn.

If you ever get the chance to challenge her, beware: her win rate as White is a solid 54.8%, and she holds a respectable 50.5% as Black, making her dangerous regardless of the color she's assigned. And don’t schedule your game for midnight or dawn—her peak performance hours cluster around evenings and afternoons (especially 13:00 and 21:00), so you might find her at the top of her game then.

Throughout the years, Sonia's blitz prowess has been impressive, steadily climbing to break the 2100 plateau repeatedly since 2015. Her bullet stats may be less prolific, but with a winning rate over 60%, don’t dismiss her rapid-fire skills either. And in daily chess—where patience is key—she maintains gritty consistency, chalking a near 47% win rate.

On the psychological front, SGQ keeps her tilt factor at a modest 10, a sign she’s pretty composed when the going gets tough. That said, she shines brightest after setbacks—a champion of the comeback scenario. Just don’t expect mercy if you’re on her losing side; her one-sided loss rate is a mere 7.5%. When Sonia commits to the game, she’s all in.

Whether facing familiar foes like betta61 or new challengers like monsterkz, Sonia’s competitive spirit means each game is a battle of wits, strategy, and occasionally, a few surprising moves that leave you wondering, “How did SGQ just pull that off?” With a longest winning streak of 10 games and a current streak of 2, the momentum is certainly on her side.

In short, Sonia Gil Quilez is not just a player but a strategic storyteller on the chessboard—crafting tales of resilience, cunning, and checkmate that keep opponents guessing and fans applauding. If chess had a sense of humor, it’d definitely tip its hat to SGQ’s clever combinations and tactical flair.

Hi Sonia! 🎯

Congratulations on reaching and for recently taking down monsterkz with a crisp Caro-Kann! Your games show healthy opening preparation and a sharp tactical eye. Below is a personalised improvement plan based on your last 30 days of play.

What you already do well ✅

  • Opening repertoire. 75 % of your Black games start with “…c6 / …d5”, and you consistently reach comfortable Caro-Kann middlegames.
  • Fast tactical calculation. The knockout sequence in your latest win is a great example:
    .
  • Conversion technique. When you are up material you usually simplify without rushing, scoring an impressive +89 % in won positions.

Recurring problems ⚠️

  • Pawns left behind. In the loss to Nosferatu42 your d4–e4–f4 chain looked great until …f5-f4-f3 hit back. Work on recognising when a pawn mass is over-extended.
  • Light-square weaknesses in Semi-Slav structures. Three recent defeats happened after …b4 by Black landed on an undefended light square. Study model games by Kramnik/Kasparov on this theme.
  • Time trouble. Your average remaining time in lost games is 0 : 37 s, compared to 1 : 54 s in wins. You often “think twice” in already lost positions.

Opening priorities for May ➜ June

  1. Vs. 1.e4 (Caro-Kann).
    • Add the Capablanca System (…dxe4 …Bf5 …e6 …Nd7) to avoid early g-pawn storms you faced in Advance/Two-Knights lines.
    • Memorise the key endgame pattern with opposite-coloured bishops after …Bxf1 …Be7 that appeared in your MonsterKZ game.
  2. Vs. 1.d4 / c4 (Semi-Slav & Old-Indian).
    • Study the critical e4–e5 break: when to challenge it and when to ignore it. The loss to Nosferatu42 started with a premature …e5.
    • Review prophylactic moves such as …h6, …a6 before committing your centre.

Mindset & routine 🧠

  • Adopt a 30-20-10 clock split: first 30 s for opponent’s plans, 20 s for candidate moves, 10 s to sanity-check blunders.
  • Keep a “no-tilt” protocol: if you drop two games in a row, pause and review instead of clicking New Game.
  • End every session with one positive takeaway—training the brain to focus on progress accelerates learning.
