Thi Van Anh Doan (XoaiXanh)
Woman FIDE Master
Meet Thi Van Anh Doan, known in the chess world as XoaiXanh — a player whose bullet games explode with the speed of a supernova and whose tactical awareness is so sharp it could probably slice through a grandmaster’s ego. Awarded the title of Woman FIDE Master, Thi Van Anh doesn’t just play chess, she dances with it, often outmaneuvering opponents before they’ve even had their first coffee.
Starting from a humble bullet rating of 1361 in 2016, she rocketed up to a blazing peak of 2419 in 2023, with a flair for explosive and swift victories. When it comes to blitz chess, she’s no slouch either, maintaining a steadfast peak rating above 2300 for several years. Don’t be fooled by her rapid rating hiccup at under 1000 — surely just a warmup game (or an experimental phase).
Thi Van Anh thrives in endgames, with a whopping 85.9% endgame frequency, proving she’s not just about flashy openings but can grind down a position better than your morning espresso shot. When she loses a piece, it’s usually temporary — boasting a 100% win rate after such losses, which suggests her opponents better start trembling before grabbing any freebies.
She possesses a legendary comeback rate of over 91%, turning seemingly lost battles around with the heart of a lion and the cunning of a fox. Her longest winning streak clocks in at 12 games, a sure sign of the kind of fierce momentum that makes her opponents rethink their life choices.
With a slightly mischievous tilt factor and an honest admission of early resignations (hey, nobody’s perfect!), Thi Van Anh plays with passion, intensity, and an enviable blend of resilience and humor. Whether it’s a blitz or bullet, expect XoaiXanh to light up the board with creativity, grit, and the occasional cheeky surprise — after all, chess is serious business, but winning with a smile is even better.
Fun Fact
Her opponents might not always get much say, especially with her 52.7% win rate between 7AM and 11AM — apparently, that’s XoaiXanh’s prime time to wreak havoc in cyberspace.
