Tereza Rodshtein, Woman Grandmaster (WGM)
Meet Tereza Rodshtein, a chess warrior with the prestigious title of Woman Grandmaster proudly awarded by FIDE. This player doesn't just move pieces; she commands the board like a symphony, turning pawns into legends and bishops into sneaky ninjas.
With a rapid rating that once soared to an astonishing 2582 in February 2021 — that's practically rocket fuel for chess engines — Tereza’s style is a blend of calculated strategy and tactical fireworks. Not one to resign early (only 5.7% of the time), she loves to dance through the endgame, featuring in nearly 79% of her matches, proving that the finale is where the real magic happens.
Tereza's rapid win record is impressively fierce (5 wins out of 6 games), and blitz time controls don’t scare her either — with 68 wins in 106 blitz games, she strikes at a fierce 64% win rate. Bullet? Please, that's just a warm-up: undefeated in that speed demon territory.
Famous for her uncanny comeback ability, Rodshtein bounces back from losing material 86% of the time — talk about resilience! She even boasts a 63% chance of winning after losing a piece. Her longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 14 games that would make Kasparov nod in approval.
Her opening secret? Well, it's top secret, but it yields an impressive 83% win rate in rapid games and a dependable 64% in blitz. Opponents beware: players like ruslann88 and patriktesko have learned firsthand that losing to Tereza is a 100% certainty (at least in recorded games)!
Tereza likes to keep her cool, with a low tilt factor of just 2, and her favorite time to play is exactly at 3 pm sharp — perhaps that’s when her mental knight gallops fastest. She shines brightest on Tuesdays and at noon – her perfect chess storm timing.
Her games are long, averaging around 73 moves whether she wins or loses, showing she's in for the marathon, not a sprint. White pieces favor her prowess slightly more with a nearly 79% success rate, while black pieces hold a respectable 53%.
Just recently, she showcased her brilliance in a rapid battle against patriktesko on April 17, 2021, where time pressure ruled but Tereza’s skill ultimately triumphed. Whether winning by resignation, time, or checkmate, she knows how to close out games in style.
In summary: Tereza Rodshtein is a formidable player who combines grit, grace, and a dash of secret weapon openings. Whether blitzing through or strategizing in the rapid timezones, she’s a force to be reckoned with on any chessboard — just don’t take too long; she might just win on your clock!
