Alana Meenakshi Kolagatla - Woman FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Alana Meenakshi Kolagatla, proudly carrying the title of Woman FIDE Master, is a chess player who understands that the battle on the 64 squares is as much about wit and nerve as it is about patience and strategy. With a peak blitz rating of 2094 and a rapid rating standing strong at 2000, Alana has shown prowess across multiple time controls, flexing tactical muscles with a bullet max just north of 2000 and a daily peak rating reaching over 2170.

Known in the digital arena as Toxic_Haste21, Alana’s playing style embraces both sharp tactics and deep endgames—balancing a 42.7% early resignation rate (because who wants to drag out a lost cause?) with a healthy 38% frequency of endgame battles that stretch the imagination and test nerves. Moves per game average around 35 to 38, proving that Alana doesn’t shy away from complex, sustained fights.

Armed with a comeback rate near 46.5%, and demonstrating a cool-headedness that yields a 52.6% win rate even after losing a piece, Alana knows how to claw back from adversity. However, the journey is never without heartbreak—there’s also a 43.6% one-sided loss rate to keep things humble.

Chess isn’t just a game for Alana; it’s a symphony of calculated risks and beautiful blunders. Whether blitzing with furious speed or carefully plotting in daily games, Alana’s record speaks volumes: over 300 blitz wins, nearly 240 bullet victories, and a sharp eye for exploiting opening dynamics with a very respectable win rate above 56% in blitz formats.

While the most recent victory came via resignation against a black opponent rated around 2200, and the occasional sting of defeat sneaks in, Alana’s dedication and resilience shine brightest. Matches played under the handle "Toxic_Haste21" reveal a player who dances with the chaos of the Sicilian and the Modern Defense with flair, turning classic openings into personal playgrounds of innovation and daring.

Fun fact: Alana’s best time of day to strike on the board is at 3 AM—because who doesn’t want their opponents sleep-deprived too?

With a longest winning streak of 21 games and a slightly less enviable longest losing streak of 26 games, the rollercoaster ride that is competitive chess suits Alana just fine. After all, greatness is not about never falling, but how spectacularly you rise after.

In the hallowed halls of chess, Alana Meenakshi Kolagatla continues to carve her own path—a clever mix of grit, grace, and a pinch of “toxic haste.” Watch out, chess.com!
