Isabel Girard

Profile: Isabel Girard (aka Sushi932)

Meet Isabel Girard, also known in the digital chess sphere as Sushi932. A player whose journey through the ranks is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride—full of unexpected spins, daring attacks, and the occasional “What just happened?” moment on the board.

Isabel’s chess story in 2023 is a tale of perseverance and spirited battles. Her peak Blitz rating skyrocketed to an impressive 594 in late February, a testament to her quick thinking and occasional lightning-fast moves. However, anyone who knows Isabel will tell you that her games are never dull—whether it’s a jaw-dropping pawn sacrifice or an early resignation (which occurs about 38% of the time!), she keeps opponents on their toes and spectators entertained.

In Rapid play, Isabel reached a peak rating of 580, showing she’s equally comfortable with a bit more breathing room. She’s fond of the Grob Opening and even bagged a victory using the Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation, proving that she’s not afraid to experiment and keep her rivals guessing.

Daily games reveal a more relaxed side, with a highest rating of 464, but don’t let that fool you—her strategic play shines when the clock ticks slower. Bullet chess, however, is her Achilles' heel with a modest peak of 193 and no wins recorded, which might hint at a love for thinking over every move rather than playing super speed chess.

Playing Style & Habits

• Early resignations: Nearly 38% — a classy way of saying “I know when to say when.”
• Average moves in wins: 25.36 — patience rewarded.
• Average moves in losses: 41.92 — she fights hard even when losing, dragging games into the deep end!
• White vs Black win rates: Roughly equal, around 22% each — fearless from either color.
• Longest winning streak: 4 games — watch out for those hot streaks!
• Longest losing streak: 9 games — because sometimes even the sushi needs a break.

Fun Facts

Isabel has a peculiar fascination with facing a player named win111ty. Out of 32 matches, she has a modest ~9.4% win rate — suggesting that this opponent just might be her arch-nemesis or a secret motivation!

Her best time of day to play? Around 1 PM — so if you want to challenge her, maybe avoid lunchtime. However, she surprisingly performs best around 13:00 hours, clocking a win rate over 50% at that time.

Last Memorable Victory
