Farah Yumna Budiarti — aka YumiBear
Meet Farah Yumna Budiarti, the Woman FIDE Master who’s been turning chessboards into personal playgrounds from 2018 all the way to 2024. Farah’s style is a delightful blend of tactical wizardry and a touch of mystery—after all, the key to her openings is Top Secret. With a blitz peak rating soaring as high as 2644 and bullet games hitting an impressive 2583, YumiBear doesn’t just play fast; she plays smart.
Known for her remarkable comeback spirit (87.45% comeback rate!), Farah refuses to let a lost piece ruin her day—she wins 100% of the time after losing a piece, proving opponents can’t count her out even in down-and-out moments. Games tend to stretch long with an average of roughly 75 moves, showing Farah's love for the strategic long haul rather than quick kills. Endgames? She's there almost 79% of the time, honing her skills right to the final checkmate.
Curiously, mornings and early hours seem to be Farah’s prime time, with win rates peaking at 66.67% around 8 AM and a strong 63.64% at 8 PM—clearly, whether she’s an early bird or a night owl, YumiBear knows how to catch the worm or the dark side of the board. She’s notably unbeatable against some (looking at you, legendarydennis and maksymnykonenko) and charmingly struggles against others (like ken-maurice and sameilz), but hey, nobody's perfect.
With a longest winning streak of 7 games and a tactical style that boasts a mere 1.88% early resignation rate, Farah keeps games exciting and opponents guessing. Her tilt factor is low (11), which means she handles setbacks like a pro—just maybe with a deep breath or two. And if you're lucky enough to face her playing white or black, expect nearly equal chances to win, hovering just shy of 49%.
Off the board, YumiBear’s playful moniker hints at a personality as warm and approachable as her calculated gameplay is fierce. Whether blitzing at blink-and-you-miss-it speed or diving deep into lengthy rapid games, Farah Yumna Budiarti proves it’s not only about winning but how memorably you play the game.
