She learned chess as a child in Appenzell, on a set her grandfather carved by hand, and she has carried the game gently through her life without ever studying it seriously. Her rating sits at 132, which places her barely above random play: she knows how the pieces move and treats each one with quiet respect, but she does not follow plans, miscounts threats, and loses material in almost every game. She plays the board the way she reads her logbook, slowly and one entry at a time. Opponents should expect a calm, unhurried game with frequent blunders and very little resistance to direct attacks.","58","eberl","Switzerland","ch","ef78eca358e3b35ca75e6d6b53c3e3e248f23e5f2a14d2c0420f15c2fab9ef38","2026-07-06",132,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Verena?","Verena is rated 132 Elo, which is barely above random play.

At 132 Elo she plays slowly and passively, giving a new player time to think, practice basic tactics, and experience winning a full game without being overwhelmed.","Some pages last a thousand years if you only listen to them.","female","Grüezi.
