Carla Heredia WGM

Carla Heredia - Woman Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Known in the chess world by her handle WGMCarlaHeredia, Carla Heredia is no ordinary player; she's a Woman Grandmaster who plays chess like a maestro conducting a symphony — except her instruments are knights, bishops, and pawns, and her audience is the 64 squares of the board.

A Journey Through the Ranks

Carla's chess journey sparkled early on with formidable blitz performances, climbing steadily from modest ratings near 1600 to a stunning peak blitz rating of 2518 in July 2016 — a level that would make even the most seasoned grandmasters do a double-take. Bullet chess? She blitzed past the competition with a peak rating of 2444, proving she’s lightning fast both in mind and moves.

Playing Style and Personality

Carla approaches each game with a healthy dose of tactical awesomeness — boasting a comeback rate of nearly 82%. If she loses a piece, don’t panic: she wins half the games anyway. Her average game length hovers around 70 moves, meaning she’s a fighter who enjoys the long, strategic battles but also knows when to strike the final blow. Early resignations are rare (1.97%), because giving up is just not in her vocabulary.

Her style? Fierce yet calculated. With a slightly better win rate when playing white (53.17%) and equally formidable when playing black, Carla is versatile and deadly, ready to wrest control no matter who moves first.

Memorable Achievements and Records

• Longest winning streak: 20 games (envious, aren’t we?)
• Impressive bullet win rate sitting at over 78%
• Blitz win rate hovers perfectly around 51% over almost 1,800 games — talk about consistency!
• Known to occasionally tilt (hey, who doesn’t?), but her tilt factor is a manageable 13. She bounces back quickly.

The Latest Victory

In an epic clash in March 2025, Carla wrapped up a brilliant checkmate victory against opponent eee1155 in a classical Giuoco Piano opening. It was a 48-move masterpiece that ended with her queen delivering the final Q-g6# — talk about closing in style!

Off the Board

While the details of her life away from the board remain as mysterious as an opponent’s hidden gambit, her results speak volumes. Whether facing friends or foes, Carla Heredia brings not just skill, but charisma and a fun-loving spirit to every match. She’s a champion who reminds us all: chess isn’t just about pieces, it’s about passion, resilience, and sometimes, a hint of cheeky brilliance.

In short, Carla is the queen we all want on our side — graceful, powerful, and with a winning smile to boot.
