Profile Summary: Vũ Thị Diệu Uyên (WFM – VTDULMH)
Meet Vũ Thị Diệu Uyên, a Woman FIDE Master whose chessboard wizardry has dazzled opponents far and wide. Known in the chess community as VTDULMH, she combines dogged tactical awareness with a knack for dramatic comebacks—boasting a remarkable 80.61% comeback rate. If the game gets tough, Uyên stays cool, turning adversity into opportunity like a chess superhero.
Her peak blitz rating soared to an astonishing 2337 in April 2025, while bullet and rapid formats didn’t escape her mastery either, reaching peaks of 2252 and 2133 respectively. Although daily chess is less her playground, with a brief stint at 1800, Uyên truly shines when the clock ticks faster.
Her playing style? Oh, it’s a blend of patience and precision — with an average winning game lasting over 74 moves, she's no fan of quick tricks but rather relishes deep endgames, which appear in over 80% of her wins. Plus, she’s hardly one to throw in the towel early, with a low early resignation rate of just 3.49%.
Timing is everything, and Uyên’s prime battleground hours are when the world sleeps—the early morning hours around 4 AM are when she’s at her chess best. Maybe all those midnight snacks power her brain!
She’s fought countless opponents, including fan favorites like wanabe2211 and binhminh2000, and maintains a solid nearly 50% win rate from thousands of blitz games. Her impressive opening repertoire keeps rivals guessing — the “Top Secret” opening reigns supreme across all formats, though she’s dabbled successfully in classics like the Sicilian Defense and Caro-Kann.
Not all battles end in victory, but Uyên's tilt factor is a commendable 7, meaning she rarely lets a bad move spoil her mood or her game. And when she loses a piece? She still manages to win nearly half the time afterwards—talk about resilience!
Her most recent encounters showcase her skills vividly: a thrilling 53-move victory with the Caro-Kann Defense against venomwing, and a sharp checkmating finish against wonder_kid in an Alapin Sicilian duel. Even when she faces a setback, the loss is usually a close, hard-fought affair, proving she never gives up without a fight.
Simply put, Vũ Thị Diệu Uyên is a force to be reckoned with at both blitz and bullet chess arenas—a player who loves the long strategic dance as much as lightning-fast tactical fireworks. If chess had a superhero league, she’d definitely be wearing a cape somewhere between her favorite openings and endgame mastery.
Feedback for Vũ Thị Diệu Uyên
Dear Uyên,
First of all, congratulations on your recent wins! You have demonstrated strong attacking skills and tactical awareness, especially in sharp positions where you effectively exploit your opponent’s weaknesses. In particular, your games from May and June show a good ability to capitalize on imprecisions by the opponent and create decisive threats quickly.
Strengths
- Strong tactical vision: Your winning checkmates and combinations (for example the quick mating nets in your Sicilian and Ruy Lopez victories) highlight your keen tactical eye.
- Opening preparation: You consistently play solid and principled openings like the Three Knights Opening, Caro-Kann, and Ruy Lopez with active plans, which sets you up for promising middlegame positions.
- Effective piece coordination: In your successful attacks, your pieces work well together — knights, queen, and rooks collaborate smoothly to create threats and pressure your opponent’s king.
Areas to Improve
- Endgame technique: Review your longer games that went into endgames, such as the Caro-Kann or Queen’s Gambit games, to focus on improving technique under pressure. Accurate calculation and patience are key to converting small advantages.
- Time management: In rapid games, managing your clock is crucial. There were games where you won on time, but also some losses due to time pressure. Practice balancing speed and accuracy to avoid rushed or imprecise moves in critical moments.
- Positional understanding: Occasionally, you faced challenges in more strategic positions, especially around pawn structure and piece placement. Deepening your study of positional themes will help you hold and improve in quieter middlegames.
Next Steps
To continue improving, consider these focal points:
- Analyze your losses carefully to understand key turning points — use the PGNs to explore alternative moves or plans.
- Work on endgame fundamentals through studying basic king & pawn and rook endgames.
- Practice time control exercises where you simulate rapid or blitz time limits emphasizing solid decision making.
- Experiment with learning positional concepts such as weak squares, outposts, and pawn breaks, to apply in your middlegame decisions.
Keep up the great work and enjoy every challenge on the board!
Best regards,
Your Chess Coach
