Miranda Mikadze WGM

Miranda Mikadze - Woman Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Miranda Mikadze, a chess player who’s as comfortable dominating the board as she is keeping her opponents guessing. Officially holding the prestigious Woman Grandmaster title from FIDE, Miranda is not your average player – she’s a Blitz wizard with a peak rating soaring to an impressive 2455 as of January 2023.

Miranda's chess journey is a rollercoaster of thrilling tactical battles and intense time scrambles – after all, she boasts a bullet rating peak of over 2069 and a rapid max rating tipping the scales at 2350. Whether it's the lightning-fast pace of Blitz or the strategic pauses in Rapid, she blends sharp calculation with endurance and psychological resilience.

Don’t let the serious credentials fool you; Miranda’s style includes a quirky blend of patience and aggression. On average, her winning games stretch to almost 74 moves, showing that surrender isn't in her vocabulary. And if she loses a piece? No sweat — her comeback rate is a staggering 81.63%, proving she can claw her way back from the brink like a chess ninja.

Strategically, she favors that mysterious "Top Secret" opening approach, racking up over 1,600 games with nearly half resulting in victories — a testament to her clever preparation and surprise weaponry on the board. When it comes to specific openings, Miranda shines with a perfect win record using the Queen’s Pawn Zukertort Variation and the London System in Blitz.

Her fearless attitude is also reflected in her recent games: in a thrilling Live Chess battle against hyhyhyhy2003 in June 2025, Miranda showcased her mastery of the King’s Indian Defense and clinched victory on time — a classic blitz finish with nerves of steel.

Off the board, Miranda likely enjoys the irony of her opponents’ despair more than their approval, especially given her tilt factor of 13 – yes, she knows how to rattle the other side’s cage without losing her own cool. And if you wonder when she’s at her best: late evening, between 11 PM and midnight, is when her tactical awareness truly shines.

To sum it up: Miranda Mikadze is a grandmaster who moves like a magician and thinks like a scientist. She’s the kind of player who will make you laugh when you lose and admire her when you can’t. If chess had a Hogwarts, she’d be the queen of spells on the 64-square stage.
