Алексей Мокшанов - International Master of Chess
Алексей Мокшанов, known online as MokshanovAlexey, is a fierce warrior on the 64 squares, holding the distinguished title of International Master awarded by FIDE. With a playing style that combines strategic depth and tactical sharpness, Алексей has carved out a reputation for both brilliant comebacks and relentless pressure in fast-paced formats.
Career Highlights & Style
Starting modestly with a blitz rating around 1300 in 2014, Алексей embarked on a climb filled with epic battles and near-iron will, hitting a peak blitz rating of an outstanding 2709 in early 2022. Bullet chess appears to be Алексей’s playground, with a peak rating soaring to 2758, proving lightning-fast reflexes and razor-sharp calculation skills. While rapid format is a bit his lesser-known arena (maxing out at 2450), even there Алексей remains a formidable opponent.
A master of the art of resilience, Алексей boasts an impressive 83.24% comeback rate, refusing to back down even after losing material. His average moves per win (around 72) show a preference for deep, strategic games that test both endurance and smarts. Psychological battles are another front where Алексей excels, rarely tilting and often scoring his best wins around the magical hour of 1 AM – clearly a creature of the night!

Memorable Games

Yet even a master occasionally slips, as a timely loss in June 2024 reveals – but rest assured, Алексей bounces back with the grit of a true competitor.
Personality & Legacy
Whether on a Friday night blitz marathons or Sunday morning bullet sprints, Алексей's love for the game shines. Opponents beware: a 100% win rate against several challengers hints at an almost legendary dominance online.
