Ludy De Sousa (MESTRELUDY)

Meet Ludy De Sousa, a crafty chess enthusiast who has been dancing with the 64 squares since at least 2012. Known in the digital chess world as MESTRELUDY, this player has proven to be a resilient and strategic competitor, especially in blitz games where speed and sharp wits matter most.

Rise and Rise in Blitz

Starting around a modest 1366 blitz rating, Ludy quickly climbed the ranks to flirt with the 2400s—a daunting threshold where mere mortals give up and grandmasters plop champagne bottles. The peak blitz rating was an impressive 2394 achieved in April 2019.

Speed Demon in Bullet and Daily

If blitz is fast, bullet is a lightning storm. Ludy’s bullet peak rating of 2074 tells us they can think fast and click faster—or at least hold their own against other quick-playing wizards. When it comes to daily (that is, games with a day or more of thinking time), Ludy holds a spotless undefeated record with 13 wins and no losses—proof that patience can be mighty.

Opening Repertoire: A Sicilian Spice Blend

Their opening arsenal reads like a Sicilian cookbook: Najdorf Variation, Scheveningen Sozin Attack, Tarrasch Closed French, and the OKelly Normal System are all frequently deployed with decent success. Versatility is key, and Ludy proves it with a flair for both aggressive and positional styles.

Fighting Spirit

With a comeback rate of over 87%, Ludy isn’t one to throw in the towel after a tough exchange. Also notable is a long winning streak peaking at 17 games, suggesting that when the pieces align, this player can steamroll opponents like a chess juggernaut.

Time Preferences & Quirks

Despite their proficiency in blitz and bullet, Ludy’s preferred time control is Daily games, perhaps savoring the tension and drama one patient move at a time. Surprisingly, their best time to play appears to be 2 AM. Whether that’s a secret nocturnal training or just a love for nocturnal genius remains a mystery!

Record Breaker and Noteworthy Battles

Facing many opponents repeatedly, Ludy’s most frequent sparring partner is 2011king with 135 clashes—probably a grand digital rivalry filled with cunning and patience. Other favored foes include oferzemertov and valmiki, proving that Ludy enjoys mixing it up with familiar foes.
