Dmitry Lavrik

International Master

Dmitry Lavrik, also known in chess circles as lavr92, is a formidable International Master who has dazzled the chess world with a lightning-fast tactical prowess and an uncanny ability to rebound from adversity. Since bursting onto the scene in 2016 with a Blitz rating of 2400, Dmitry has consistently pushed his skills to new heights, peaking impressively at a blistering 2825 in Blitz by 2021.

With a Blitz win count soaring past 4,900 victories and a Bullet record boasting a 50%+ win rate, Dmitry’s style is equal parts patient strategist and daring attacker. Known for a “Top Secret” opening repertoire that no one quite manages to crack, lavr92 often keeps opponents guessing until the final whistle.

An endgame connoisseur (engaging in the endgame stage over 80% of the time), Dmitry plays deep and long—his games averaging around 77 moves whether in victory or not. When things get tense, Dmitry rarely folds, boasting a stellar 90% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade on the chessboard!

Psychologically, Dmitry keeps cool with a low tilt factor of 11, although occasional early resignations (about 0.2% of games) suggest he’s not afraid to admit when a blunder has struck—saving time and dignity. Best hours to catch him online? Evenings between 6 pm and 11 pm, where his win rates exceed 50%, proving he’s both a night owl and a chess shark.

Outside of crushing most adversaries (with some opponents suffering near 0% success against him), Dmitry also shows a quirky side: his longest winning streak hit 15 games straight—because sometimes you just get on a roll and can’t stop winning. And while his current streak may have paused, his battle-tested experience reminds everyone that on any given day, Dmitry Lavrik can shock, checkmate, and conquer.

• Peak Blitz Rating: 2825 (2021)
