Thi Dieu Ai Vu (sharon1407)

Meet Thi Dieu Ai Vu, a Woman FIDE Master who handles the chessboard with both finesse and fiery spirit. Titled and talented, Vu’s journey through the ranks is like a thrilling chess match—full of ups, downs, and surprising turns.

Vu’s peak ratings tell a tale of versatility across time controls: a blistering blitz rating soaring up to 2177 in 2019, a rapid peak near 1981, and a solid bullet performance peaking at 1887. Daily chess? Vu hit 2003, showing strong classical aptitude too—although losing a few games along the way, because even grandmasters stumble sometimes.

Known for an aggressive tactical style, Vu's games often feature lengthy, strategic battles with an average of around 70 moves per win, proving endurance and patience. The endgame is Vu’s comfortable stage, played in nearly 75% of games—a place where subtle nudges matter, and precision reigns.

With a knack for comebacks (an impressive 77% success rate bouncing back from losing material), Vu plays psychological chess as skillfully as the moves, though a tilt factor of 8 means the occasional emotional rollercoaster is part of the package—just like in real life.

Vu prefers playing when the clock strikes 18:00, the golden hour for clutch victories and inspired ideas. Interestingly, games played on Wednesdays and Thursdays boast the highest win rates, so beware any opponent facing Vu midweek!

Notable Opening Preferences

  • London System in bullet chess, boasting a perfect 100% win record!
  • Scandinavian Defense (Mieses-Kotrc Main Line) and Indian Game also hold 100% win rates in shorter formats.
  • Despite being “Top Secret” in the records, Vu has a strong winning percentage over 70% across rapid and blitz games with that mysterious opening tag.

Match Highlights

Recent matches show Vu outsmarting opponents with both precise checkmates and clever time pressure wins. Favorites include grindouts against panday28 and thesiciliansamy, often finishing games within an hour but leaving lasting impressions.

Even losses come with lessons: a recent defeat by "PlayerUlt" in a French Defense game shows Vu’s willingness to fight through tough, more positional struggles.

Fun Fact

Besides being a ruthless competitor, Vu is the reigning undefeated queen of the London System in bullet chess—if you play it against her, be ready for a blitzing checkmate before your coffee even cools.

In all, Thi Dieu Ai Vu (aka sharon1407) combines the precision of a chess engineer, the thrill of a fighter, and the charisma of a chessboard comedian. Watch this space: the games are always far from boring.

Feedback for Thi Dieu Ai Vu

Overall, your recent games show solid fundamental understanding and active piece play, which is great progress. Below are some constructive observations and suggestions to help you improve further:

Strengths

  • Opening Play: You consistently develop pieces logically and castle early, ensuring king safety and good piece coordination in the opening phase.
  • Calculation and Tactics: You show good tactical awareness, with some sharp combinations and timely exchanges, especially in middlegame transitions.
  • Endgame Technique: Your ability to convert advantage in simplified positions is commendable, as seen in your recent wins by checkmate or material gain.

Areas to Improve

  • Time Management: Some of your losses ended on time, which suggests a need to manage your clock better, especially in critical positions. Try to allocate time wisely and avoid spending too long on early moves.
  • Pawn Structure and Space: Pay more attention to pawn breaks and maintaining a healthy pawn structure. In some games, pawn weaknesses or passive pawn moves allowed your opponent more counterplay.
  • Piece Activity in Closed Positions: When facing closed or locked pawn structures, consider planning pawn breaks or piece maneuvers that increase the activity of your pieces rather than retreating.
  • Avoid Premature Exchanges: In a few cases, early queen or bishop exchanges helped opponents simplify into favorable endgames. Evaluate if the trade benefits you before exchanging.

Practical Tips

  • Try to practice some puzzles focused on pawn structure weaknesses and positional play.
  • Analyze your recent losses to identify recurring tactical oversights or strategic misjudgments.
  • Use your incremental time to calculate forced moves and avoid time pressure in late middle games and endgames.
  • Consider exploring prophylaxis — anticipating your opponent’s plans and preventing them before they arise.

Recommended Study Focus

  • Endgame fundamentals, especially rook and pawn endgames.
  • Positional concepts such as outposts, exchanged pieces impact, and good vs bad bishops.
  • Time management techniques for longer games.

Keep up the diligent study and enjoy your progression! Every game is a learning opportunity.
