Rated around 2178, she plays at a candidate-master level, calculating deeply and punishing inaccuracies that pass unnoticed at the club level. With the white pieces she favors classical development through the [Italian Game](/resources/openings/italian-game), steering toward positions where small structural threads accumulate into decisive patterns. As Black she answers 1.e4 with mirrored Italian setups and meets 1.d4 with the Slav, repertoires she has refined across hundreds of recorded games. Her style leans heavily on prophylaxis and tension rather than direct attack, and opponents often find that obvious-looking simplifications quietly worsen their position. Expect long, dense middlegames where pieces remain on the board and every exchange must be earned rather than offered.","49","geivF","Iran","ir","3dd01b2490ab0368e27e1660955ba898b013d1b5bb00f07a026b591334623fb2","2026-07-06",2178,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Yara?","Yara is rated approximately 2178, which places her at the boundary between candidate master and expert strength.
