Nastassia Ziaziulkina: The International Master With a Winning Streak
Hailing from the thrilling battlefield of 64 squares, Nastassia Ziaziulkina has earned her stripes as an International Master under FIDE's watchful eye. Not just content with the title, Nastassia has electrified her opponents with a blitz winning streak of 27 games — a run so dazzling it probably caused a few keyboards to spontaneously combust.
Known in some circles as Snowyk, Nastassia’s blitz prowess is nothing short of legendary, boasting a remarkable 75.5% win rate across over 90 games using a "Top Secret" opening (we can only assume it involves a fog machine and spy gadgets). Her sharp tactical mind sees her staging comebacks with enviable consistency — over 81% comeback rate — and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, a fact that likely terrifies her opponents into blunders.
Not just a tactician, Nastassia is a psychological fortress. With a low tilt factor of 4, she's more Zen master than chess mortal — calm, focused, and ready to pounce. She does have one tiny weakness, though: bullet chess, where she’s yet to secure a single win in recorded games. Perhaps that's just a clever ploy to lure opponents into a false sense of security!
Matchups? She dominates some players with a 100% winning record, like tootoomany and keresone, while others have managed to hold her to a draw or best her. But one thing’s clear: the odds are always in Nastassia’s favor. On most days, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays, she crushes with a win rate creeping past 80% — apparently there’s nothing quite like a midweek chess massacre.
When it comes to style, Nastassia loves to grind out endgames — about two-thirds of her games reach that delicate phase, where her skill truly shines. Wins average over 65 moves, showing endurance and patience. Playing white or black, she keeps her win rate impressive: 74.5% and 69.2% respectively.
In sum, Nastassia Ziaziulkina is the kind of player who turns chess into a thrilling spectacle. Rated International Master, tactical genius, and a near-unstoppable blitz force – if you see her name on the pairing list, better bring your A-game... or at least a fire extinguisher.
