She picked up chess on rainy afternoons when the weather kept the boats tied up, and keeps a magnetic set wedged under the wheelhouse for slow tides. Her estimated rating sits at 196, which places her barely above random play: she knows how the pieces move but has never studied openings or middlegame plans, and pieces tend to wander off the board without much of a fight. The game is, for her, something to fill the gap between tides rather than a craft she has trained at. Expect a relaxed, slightly fatalistic opponent who throws pieces forward without a clear plan and is just as likely to hand over material as to take it.","30","saoir","Ireland","ie","fcb13850a8d5ddd2f6c1aee6dbb59d57ebe0bfcc18a7117b360cfc977f86fa3e","2026-07-06",196,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Saoirse?","Saoirse has an estimated rating of 196, which is barely above random play.

At 196 she will hang pieces freely and trade down quickly, giving new players plenty of chances to practise capturing safely and finishing off a simplified endgame.","Tide goes out, tide comes in — same with the rope.","female","Ah, you're welcome aboard.
