Tannaz Azali - Woman FIDE Master and Chess Dynamo
Meet Tannaz Azali, a chess combatant who has earned the esteemed title of Woman FIDE Master from the international chess federation itself — not just by moving pawns, but by masterfully orchestrating board domination. Known in the online realms as tantaan, Tannaz's journey through the tactical battlefield is nothing short of impressive, and sometimes, quite entertaining.
Starting from a modest blitz rating of around 1571 in 2018, Tannaz’s blitz prowess skyrocketed to a peak of over 2500 by 2024 — a climb so swift, it would make even the most seasoned grandmasters raise an eyebrow. With over a thousand wins in blitz alone, and a near-perfect comeback rate over 91%, Tannaz is the player you don't want to underestimate even if you snag a winning piece... because she wins every time after losing a piece. Yes, every single time.
Bullet chess is another battlefield where Tannaz floods the board with calculation lightning. From a starting bullet rating of 1579 in 2018, she pushed it up beyond 2300, boasting an over 50% win rate with the mysterious “Top Secret” opening — whose precise moves remain locked away, likely under heavy chessboard guard or perhaps just a very secure password.
Don't let Tannaz’s tactical brilliance fool you into thinking she’s all work and no fun. The average game length in wins and losses clocks around 75 moves, proving she enjoys the thrill of a drawn-out war of wits rather than a speedy bullet attack… unless the clock is ticking, then it’s every move for itself!
Psychological warfare is part of her charm as well. With a tilt factor of only 13 (very chill for a blitz player), and a penchant for early resignations at just under 1%, Tannaz knows when to fight and when to fold. But beware: after a loss or a tricky position, her nearly mythic recovery skills turn the tables — opponents have been known to faint or question their life choices mid-match.
Beyond numbers and stats, Tannaz Azali embodies resilience, strategy, and a dash of mystery. Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or rapid, stepping onto her digital chessboard means entering the domain of a master tactician who’s not just playing chess, but rewriting the rules of the game one splendid move at a time.
Fun fact: Tannaz’s longest winning streak is an awe-inspiring 19 games. That's 19 games of jaw-dropping moves, clever traps, and endgames so smooth they could earn a standing ovation.
