Maria Isabel Varona: The Woman FIDE Master with a Knack for Comebacks
Also known in the chess world as Voltos67, Maria Isabel Varona is a proud Woman FIDE Master who blends tactical brilliance with a pretty impressive winning streak record. With a rapid rating climbing from 954 in early 2021 to a peak of 1499 in 2022, Maria shows steady improvement, proving she's not just here to play, but here to conquer.
Her style? Think of a strategic ninja with a penchant for endurance. She often goes deep into the endgame (almost half the time), averaging nearly 50 moves per win and savoring long battles on the board. Quick to give up? Not Maria — her early resignation rate is a humble 15%, because hey, giving up isn't in her vocabulary.
Her resilience is legendary, boasting a 62.96% comeback rate and a 100% win rate after losing a piece. That’s right — losing material only makes her more dangerous. Opponents beware!
Maria shines brightest on Thursdays and Wednesdays, achieving a perfect 100% win rate, and also loves the evening rush hour, cruising to victory at 18:00 through 20:00 with a flawless record. Chess by daylight? She’s still warming up.
Her preferred openings remain a closely guarded secret – after 40 rapid games using "Top Secret" openings, she maintains a stellar 65% win rate. Clearly, Maria isn't just unpredictable, she's downright cryptic!
As for opponents, she’s had mixed results. Sometimes the victories roll in like clockwork — winning 100% against several challengers — and other times, well, she knows humility (we’re looking at you, “pupesanti” and “mitwe”).
With a longest winning streak of 7 games and a current streak at a temporary rest, Maria is ready to shake up the boards once more. In the world of chess, she's not just a player — she’s a storm in a checkered teacup, unpredictable, strategic, and always entertaining.
