Irene Motoa Zeynep (aka Unbothered017)
Meet Irene Motoa Zeynep, a spirited chess enthusiast who battles daily on the 64 squares with a fiery passion and a sometimes puzzling rating rollercoaster. Irene has embraced every facet of chess, from the nerve-wracking Daily games to the lightning-fast Bullet format where reflexes reign supreme.
Rating & Style
Irene's chess journey in 2025 has been nothing if not eventful. With a peak Daily rating of 1062 reached in February, she displays grit even when the numbers dip (a recent low of 444). Her Bullet play dazzles with a peak rating soaring above 1000, showing that when the clocks tick down, Irene’s tactical instincts kick into high gear.
Playing style? Well, Irene is no stranger to early resignations—about one in five games end before the final curtain—but her endgame appearances are more frequent than a grandmaster's sigh, clocking in around 35%. She tends to win in roughly 38 moves and lose around 42, so patience is clearly part of the plan... or a necessity.
Signature Openings & Surprises
Irene keeps her opponents guessing with a variety of openings, lovingly dubbed "Top Secret" in Daily play—though the win rate there is a modest 6.82%, proving that she's either a master of mystique or an accidental gambit enthusiast! In Rapid games, she shines brightest with the French Defense, wrangling an impressive 81% win rate, and the Scandinavian Defense at a formidable 70%.
Memorable Streaks
Behind every score, there's a story. Irene's longest winning streak clocks in at 10 games—a healthy dose of success! But brace yourselves: a whopping 51-game losing streak also lurks in her history, reminding us all that even the toughest battles bring valuable lessons (and probably some very loud sighs).
Tactics & Comebacks
Known for her tenacity, Irene boasts a comeback rate of 68.2%, proving she's a fighter even after losing a piece or two. Her win rate after losing material is a respectable 36%. However, about 25% of her losses are one-sided affairs, a humbling reminder that chess can be both merciless and brutally honest.
Psychological Notes
When asked about the best time to catch Irene in top form, the answer is 7 PM sharp—probably after dinner and a cup of tea, or maybe just after a dramatic Netflix episode. Her “tilt factor” (chess-speak for how often frustration affects her play) sits at a notable 51%, so opponents beware: patience is key when facing Unbothered017!
Recent Triumph
In a recent encounter, Irene, playing White, masterfully delivered a checkmate in a high-tension Rapid game against sparsht06, showcasing her keen attacking instincts and tactical savvy. That game perfectly sums up her fighting spirit—sometimes unpredictable, always passionate.
Fun Fact
Irene has a soft spot for quirky openings that make her opponents scratch their heads, such as the "Top Secret" opening in Daily games, which results in more losses than wins but guarantees entertainment! After all, what’s life without a little mystery and a lot of chess blunders?
In short, Irene Motoa Zeynep is the kind of player who brings heart and humor to every match. Whether delivering swift checkmates or learning from tough losses, she remains unbothered and ever ready for the next challenge on the board.
