Rating Revelations
Anna has danced with ratings across formats, shining brightest in Bullet chess where she’s hit an impressive peak rating north of 2510! Not too shabby for a player who probably thinks blitz is just a warm-up. In Blitz, she’s also mastered the art of quick decisions, maxing out around 2635, blazing through games with a notable 42.96% win rate with her favorite (top secret) openings.
A Record of Grit and Glory
- Bullet: 344 wins out of 586 games — that’s about a 59% win rate, proving lightning-fast reflexes and brainpower truly do mix!
- Blitz: A rollercoaster with 61 wins and 60 losses; it’s clear that every game is a saga on its own.
- Rapid: A respectable player even when things slow down, with a 45% win rate.
Playing Style: The Chess Whisperer
Anna’s games tend to be marathon matches – her average winning game lasts nearly 76 moves. She’s lethal with white, winning more than 56% of the time, but black pieces are by no means a consolation prize, with a solid 53% win rate. Endgames? Oh yes, she relishes them, appearing in a staggering 82% of her games.
If she loses a piece, don’t count her out – her comeback rate is a jaw-dropping 88%, and she wins 99% of those fights after losing material. Turning setbacks into checkmate celebrations might be her signature move!
Psychology & Timing
Anna's peak performance hours? Oddly enough, 10 AM and 11 AM are her magic windows with a win rate close to 94% and 67%, respectively. And Fridays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are her best days to outfox opponents.
Despite her fierce competitiveness, she keeps a tilt factor of only 8 – so she’s pretty chill even when the going gets tough. Perhaps she just reminds herself: “It’s just chess, no need to flip the board.”
Notable Opponents
From newcomers to seasoned players, Anna has an enviable record — sometimes 100% wins — against many online challengers like arnarmilutin, ald2lilcan, and estonec-xxx. She’s a force to reckon with and a fun opponent all at once.
Fun Fact
Anna once flaunted an incredible 18-game winning streak — talk about a queen on fire!
