Victoria Elias Calles (aka Zoldo61)

Meet Victoria Elias Calles, a Rapid chess player whose rating journey looks a bit like a rollercoaster – thrilling with ups, challenging with downs, and never boring! With a peak Rapid rating of 1087 in January 2025, Victoria has shown persistence and passion over hundreds of games played.

Starting at a modest 570 in late 2024, Victoria quickly climbed the ranks, hitting a personal best above 1000 before experiencing some natural fluctuations, proving that every chess player knows the struggle of maintaining peak form. With an average Rapid rating hovering around 850 to 970 during her most active months, she is clearly no one to underestimate on the digital battlefield.

Playing Style & Personality

Victoria’s style is a delightful cocktail of tactical awareness and strategic depth. She loves long battles, with an average winning game lasting about 49 moves — or in other words, she has serious stamina and probably a comfy armchair at home! Her endgames are frequent, making her a player who battles until the very last pawn is safe or lost.

She’s not a quitter either: only about 5% of her games end in early resignation. And when the chips are down, her comeback rate is an impressive 77%, showing that Victoria is as stubborn as a knight on a rim square—never giving up on a fight!

Favorite Openings

Victoria loves throwing down the gauntlet with some classic openings. The Danish Gambit leads her pack with a tasty 56.6% win rate, perfect for those who like to sacrifice with flair. The Italian Game and Scotch Game are also part of her tactical toolbox, along with the sneaky Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation featuring a solid 54% win rate—because who doesn’t appreciate a little variety?

Battle Record

Victoria keeps her sword sharp against many opponents, sporting an almost perfectly balanced Rapid win/loss record with 805 wins and 806 losses. She’s been known to throw opponents off-guard, boasting a longest winning streak of 12 games—an epic run in anyone’s book. The losing streaks are humbling reminders that even chess masters have off days, with a max of 8 games. But hey, this is chess, not a victory lap!

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Early Bird Advantage: Victoria’s best time to play is at 7 AM — apparently, the best ideas come before breakfast.
• Most Victorious Opponents: She holds a perfect win record against players like adinator8 and cookiewolf83, much to their dismay!

• Preferred Pace: Rapid time controls are her playground, preferring the adrenaline rush over blitz or bullet’s chaos.
