Xueyi Li WGM

Xueyi Li - Woman Grandmaster (WGM)

Meet Xueyi Li, a chess virtuoso proudly holding the prestigious title of Woman Grandmaster granted by FIDE. Known in the online battlegrounds as xiaopang123, Xueyi has proven that queens do more than just rule the board—they can also reign supreme in rapid, blitz, and bullet formats with a cool-headed strategy and a tactical sharpness that keeps opponents constantly on their toes.

Rising Through the Ranks

Since bursting onto the scene, Xueyi has demonstrated remarkable consistency and noteworthy peak performances. She reached her highest rapid rating of 2304 in June 2020, a peak blitz performance soaring to 2509 in August 2021, and an impressive bullet peak of 2406 earlier that same year. Although her daily chess rating peaked modestly (800), that’s probably because Xueyi believes life happens in faster time controls.

Playing Style & Strengths

With an average of nearly 73 moves per win in rapid and a comeback rate topping 82%, Xueyi’s games are a blend of patience, endurance, and resilience. She’s no stranger to long endgames (almost 74% frequency) that test her nerves and tactical awareness to the max. Early resignation is rare in her games (just over 4%), so watch out—she fights tenaciously before conceding.

Her win rates are remarkably balanced whether playing white (49.3%) or black (47%), proving versatility and adaptability. Though she occasionally experiences losing streaks (with a max of 11), her current winning streaks show that a phoenix truly rises from the ashes.

The Secret Sauce

Xueyi’s favorite opening, amusingly named Top Secret in her records, seems to mystify opponents with mixed results—mysterious enough to keep viewers guessing and adversaries wary. She also enjoys the tactical juiciness of the Caro-Kann Defense’s Two Knights Attack and the Englund Gambit, where she boasts a 100% win rate—no pressure on future opponents!

Recent Battles & Notable Games

Just recently, Xueyi secured a spectacular win playing as Black against josh511, utilizing the Caro-Kann Defense with all the grace of a grandmaster slicing through defenses. The game ended in a neat resignation after a tactical maze rimmed by calm calculation and pressure. A testament to her grit, she often turns losing positions into wins and maintains focus during the most intense moments.

Quirks & Fun Facts

• Her psychological tilt factor is impressively low (11%), which means she’s more likely to keep her cool when the clock’s ticking down than to throw her queen into a pit of despair.
• She performs best early mornings, with a sweet spot around 7 AM—a perfect excuse to start the day with some checkmates and crowned victories.
• Xueyi’s win rate spikes on Wednesdays and Thursdays (above 51%), proving midweek blues are just another opponent to defeat.

Legacy in the Making

With thousands of games fought and a playing style that balances calculated risk and resilient defense, Xueyi Li is a formidable force in the chess world. Whether she’s battling in classic rapid games, zipping pieces around in blitz, or blazing through bullet duels, this Woman Grandmaster turns each move into a story of strategy, art, and a dash of fun.
