Profile of Chess Player: shkl_trish (Avelina Pantujan)

Meet Avelina Pantujan, known in the chess world by the enigmatic username shkl_trish. Avelina is a rapidly evolving player in the online chess arena, specializing in Rapid games but not afraid to dabble in Blitz and Bullet — even if those formats have been a bit more capricious!

Rating & Style

Avelina reached a peak Rapid rating of 581 in May 2025, proving to be most comfortable and fierce in games with a touch more breathing room — the sweet spot where strategy triumphs over blitz reflexes. Blitz peak: 253, Bullet peak: 295. Though the Bullet rating journey has been a rollercoaster (maxing out at 295 before sliding down to 121), every loss seems to fuel her tenacity.

Speaking of tenacity, when it comes to comebacks, Avelina boasts a respectable 48.28% comeback rate after being down — half the time she refuses to let a lost piece or a shaky position bring her down. Just don’t expect her to go on long winning streaks; her longest is a modest 2 wins, but beware a losing streak up to 7 games, because she feels those deeply and might be heard muttering “next time I’ll get you!”

Opening Preferences

Avelina is an adventurous opener, favoring classics like the King's Pawn Opening and Queen's Pawn Opening, but she also sprinkles in quirky choices like the Scandinavian Defense Modern Marshall Variation and the Grob Opening. Her best win rates soar with the less trodden lines — 100% with the Queen’s Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense, English Opening Kings English Variation, and even the Spin on the Scandinavian. Looks like if she’s going off-script, she’s tricky to beat.

Battle Record

Roughly 30% of her games end prematurely by resignation — sometimes she admits defeat early, but at other times her opponents surrender to her sneaky tactics. Winning about 26 out of 77 Rapid games, Avelina shows resilience in long bouts. Meanwhile, her preferred time for peak performance is around 1 AM, when the chessboard becomes her personal battlefield and caffeine-fueled brilliance strikes.

Memorable Moments

Recent victories: One particularly memorable win was a Blitz game using the Saragossa Opening, where Avelina outpaced an opponent before they knew what hit them! In Bullet and Rapid, she's held her own with clever traps and solid endgames despite the occasional setback.

Challenges: Like all warriors, Avelina has faced tough foes and frustrating defeats, like abrupt losses by checkmate or being outmaneuvered in openings. But with a tilt factor of just 7, she manages to keep her cool and is always ready to come back swinging.
