Viktoria Ni — Woman International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Viktoria Ni, a chess virtuoso who's not just another pretty face on the 64 squares — she’s a proud Woman International Master with a mind wired for tactical fireworks and strategic brilliance. Known on the battlefield by the handle viktoriani, Viktoria combines fierce determination with a dash of humor that makes her as delightful to watch as she is formidable to face.

Career Highlights & Playing Style

With a stellar rapid rating peaking north of 2176 and blitz soaring above 2240, Viktoria punches well above her weight, blending aggressive opening play with patient endgame wizardry. Her longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 19 games — proving she’s no stranger to the sweet taste of victory.

Known for a 70%+ win rate with white pieces, and a solid 60% with black, Viktoria clearly understands both sides of the board... unlike your average pigeon who just randomly flips chess pieces. Her average winning game extends just past 58 moves — a testament to her endurance and strategic depth.

Stats & Quirks

  • Daily chess: Steady, consistent performer, recently pushing her rating close to 1000 against formidable opponents — nobody said Chess.com owes you points!
  • Rapid chess: A true master of speed and tactics, keeping win rates hovering around 57% with hundreds of games played.
  • Blitz chess: Where her lightning-fast decisions and sharp intuition shine with a win rate exceeding 66% — blink, and you’ll miss it.
  • Bullet chess: Fast, furious, and fitting perfectly with her style: aggressive, daring, and always ready for a comeback. Her comeback rate is an incredible 72%, which means even if she stumbles, expect her to bounce back like a boss.
  • Early resignation rate: A classy 22.73% — because why drag out a losing battle when you’ve got the brains to find your next opening?

Psychological Edge

When the going gets tough, Viktoria gets tougher. With a staggering 91.98% win rate after losing a piece and a tilt factor of only 8, she wears her mental armor well. Opponents beware: underestimating Viktoria might be your quickest checkmate.

Notable Opponents

Whether it’s the fearsome “grendizzzerrrr” or the crafty “carey,” Viktoria’s track record shows she’s no pushover, boasting win rates in the 60–90% range against her recent opponents. And if you’re “ruslanaliiev2609,” well... maybe it’s best to avoid the rematch.

Fun Fact

Viktoria’s prime hours on the clock? Mid-afternoon and early evening, when her win rate spikes above 70%. That’s when her brain switches into super-saiyan chess mode — all day is good, but 2PM to 6PM? Watch out!

In a nutshell, Viktoria Ni blends resilience, speed, and sharp chess intuition into a style that makes her an opponent not just to beat — but to admire (even if you’re on the losing side).

Feedback for Viktoria Ni

Viktoria, your recent games show a clear fighting spirit and good understanding of fundamental chess principles. Here’s some constructive feedback to help you improve further:

  • Opening Play: You tend to choose solid and classical openings, which is excellent for developing your pieces and controlling the center early on. Continue to build your opening repertoire, focusing on understanding typical plans rather than just memorizing moves.
  • Tactics and Calculation: Your wins demonstrate good tactical awareness and the ability to capitalize on opponent mistakes (for example, your recent victory with a well-executed checkmate). To raise your level, work on calculating a few more moves ahead and watch out for missed tactical opportunities in your losses.
  • Time Management: In some rapid/live games, it appears you spend a fair bit of time in the opening/middlegame but occasionally lose on time or make hurried decisions later. Practice balancing your time so you maintain focus and avoid time trouble.
  • Endgame Technique: Your games sometimes reach complex endgame positions. Working on basic endgame principles and key theoretical positions will help you convert advantages more consistently and defend even when behind.
  • Positional Understanding: Try to deepen your grasp of positional concepts like pawn structures, weak squares, and piece coordination. This will help you make stronger strategic decisions, especially during quieter moments in the game.

Keep reviewing your losses carefully, as those games are valuable for learning. Focus on one or two areas at a time, and incorporate regular tactics training to sharpen your skills.

Great job on your recent wins! Stay consistent, and you’ll see steady progress.
