Liudmila Mokriak: The Woman International Master Who Makes Pawns Tremble

Known by her crafty username Lioness23 on the digital battlefield, Liudmila Mokriak is no ordinary chess player. She proudly holds the title of Woman International Master awarded by FIDE, a testament to her sharp instincts and relentless dedication to the royal game.

Starting with a modest blitz rating in the low 1800s back in 2016, Liudmila's career has been a thrilling rollercoaster of calculated attacks, narrow escapes, and impressive comebacks. By mid-2021, she had pounced to a peak blitz rating of 2185, showing that she can outmaneuver even the craftiest opponents. Her rapid and bullet games tell a similar story, with peak ratings soaring above 2100 and a bullet peak over 2050—a speed demon on the board!

Playing Style & Personality

Liudmila is known for a mix of patience and precision. She averages about 60 moves per victory, proving she’s in it for the long haul rather than quick checkmates—though when the chance arises, she happily seals the deal with a checkmate finish (she's won 351 games that way!). Not one to throw in the towel early, her early resignation rate is a mere 2.5%, indicating steadfastness under pressure.

Her endgame skills are sublime, participating in endgames in over 60% of her matches, and her comeback rate is an outstanding 76%. If you steal a piece from her, prepare to fight hard because her win rate after losing material stands tall at 55%—never count her out, even when the odds appear grim!

Tactical Prowess and Psychological Fortitude

With a tilt factor of just 11, Liudmila keeps her cool even in the fiercest battles, and her favored hour to pounce on opponents is 6 AM—clearly the hour when her inner lioness is at her sharpest. She performs best on Saturdays (winning nearly 78% of games) and is particularly lethal during afternoon and evening blitz sessions.

Statistics That Roar

• Total Blitz Games Played: 855 with a 57% win rate
• Rapid Games: 719 with a 58% win rate, showing strategic depth
• Bullet: 11 games, but a blazing 72.7% win rate—blink and you’ll miss it
• Longest Winning Streak: An impressive 84 games in a row. That’s a whole lot of checkmates!

Recent Highlights

Just in September 2024, Liudmila secured a thrilling victory against a formidable opponent ShaashwatdeoSingh, finishing with a swift checkmate. This encapsulates her career perfectly: intelligent openings, tactical brilliance, and a penchant for elegant finishes.

Opponent Beware!

Whether she’s facing familiar foes or new challengers, Liudmila maintains a formidable win rate against many, including an intimidating 89.5% against "nah" and a perfect 100% against several other contenders. Her record reveals a player who learns quickly, adapts fast, and pounces with precision.

In a nutshell, Liudmila Mokriak is the chess equivalent of a lioness in the wild—graceful, patient, fiercely strategic, and always ready to roar. So if you dare face her, come prepared, and maybe bring some extra pawns. Because she doesn't just play chess—she dominates it.
