Luiza Marin — Woman International Master

Meet Luiza Marin, the chess warrior who has earned the prestigious title of Woman International Master from FIDE, proving that queens on the board are as powerful as anywhere else! With a blitz peak rating soaring to 2130 in August 2021, Luiza has dazzled opponents with razor-sharp tactics and a fierce competitive spirit.

Starting her blitz journey around 2014 with a modest rating in the 1400s, Luiza steadily climbed the ranks like a knight weaving through pawns—showcasing a career full of strategic triumphs and a winning flair that hovers around a commanding 57% win rate in over 500 blitz games. Not one to shy away from time pressure (in fact, she won multiple games on time!), Luiza’s longest winning streak is an impressive 9 games, though even the best warriors occasionally face a tough streak, with her longest losing run capped at 6.

Known for an average game length of around 63 moves to victory, she demonstrates patience and resilience, converting complex endgames with a steady hand. Her tactical awareness shines with a comeback rate above 80%, meaning if you think you’ve got her cornered, think again—Luiza has a knack for turning tables when the chips are down.

The psychological battles are just as fierce; Luiza prefers to play during the late hours — especially at 23:00 — when her mind is sharpest, probably fueled by coffee and queen-side attacks. Fans of her play admire her solid opening repertoire (classified under the mystifying "Top Secret"), her tentacles reaching well beyond standard lines, confusing unsuspecting opponents globally.

Off the battlefield, she’s a fierce competitor who knows how to win, lose, and occasionally draw (her daily games show one diplomatic draw as well). Among her most played opponents are ssiourdakis and japda, against whom she maintains win rates hovering above 80%—a clear sign of dominance on the digital board.

When she wins, it’s usually by resignation or on time, speaking volumes about her ability to control the clock and board simultaneously. And when she loses? Well, every loss is just a stepping stone to the next brilliant victory.

So, if you want to see chess artistry wrapped with tactical wizardry and perhaps a dash of midnight madness, look no further than Luiza Marin — where every move tells a story and every victory is worth a queen’s ransom!

Fun fact: Her recent victories often involve winning on time or eliciting resignations from bewildered adversaries—confirming that in Luiza's kingdom, time is indeed a merciless ally.
