Nadia Baheri (aka supernads)
Nadia Baheri, better known in the chess world by her online alias supernads, is a rapid-fire thinker and resilient competitor whose rating rollercoaster is as thrilling as a chessboard full of gambits. Currently holding a rapid rating peak of 437 (achieved in May 2025) and a daily rating peak of 400, she’s clearly not afraid to mix strategic depth with a dash of tactical fireworks.
About Nadia
Starting off with a modest rapid rating around 290 in 2022, Nadia has played hundreds of rapid games, showing her love for risky openings and entertaining battles. A subtle mix of grit and flair defines her style — you might see a resignation here, a timeout victory there, but mostly lots of checkmates celebrated with gusto.
Playing Style & Personality
Known for an early resignation rate of about 13%, Nadia is not one to drag out lost causes — she prefers to regroup and come back swinging. With an impressive comeback rate of 66%, she can flip the script better than a magician flipping playing cards. Her average winning game lasts about 54 moves, but like a good Netflix series, she knows when to end it before you lose interest.
With a penchant for the Alekhine's Defense (60% win rate) and respectable scores with the French Defense (58%) and Queen's Pawn Opening (53%), Nadia likes to keep her opponents guessing. But beware the Bishop’s Opening — it seems to be her Achilles’ heel with only a 14% win rate.
Notable Stats & Trends
- Longest Winning Streak: 6 games, proving she can dominate when in the zone.
- Longest Losing Streak: 13 games, because what’s a hero’s journey without a few setbacks?
- Best Time to Play: 4 PM sharp — the magic hour for max brainpower and minimal coffee jitters.

Recent Battles
In a recent rapid game on June 5, 2025, Nadia brilliantly executed a checkmate against binhgoodatchess, showcasing her love for aggressive play with sharp moves around the Scandinavian Defense. Not one to bow out easily, she bounced back from losses with renewed vigor, sometimes turning timed-out opponents into victors by sheer persistence.
Psychological Edge
Despite a tilt factor of 13 (we all have those days), Nadia’s win difference of over 43% between rated and casual games hints she takes her matches seriously — but never too seriously to lose her charming dogged determination and a flair for fun on the board.
The Opponent Archipelago
She has faced many foes online, with a perfect 100% win rate against several (like ajam329 and quentdrag), making her a virtual legend and possibly a nightmare for some. Others, like naveenbittu1 and vonbato, have bested her — proving even supernads can’t conquer all!
