Iris Mou - Woman International Master
Meet Iris Mou, a chess force to be reckoned with on the board and a proud bearer of the Woman International Master title from FIDE. Iris's journey through chess is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride packed with strategic brilliance, occasional surprises, and relentless determination.
Rising Through the Ranks
Since 2017, Iris has dazzled opponents with a rapidly improving blitz rating that soared from a humble 933 to an impressive peak of 1925. Their rapid chess skills are equally formidable, consistently hovering around the 1800+ mark, proving they don't just rely on fast moves but make fast, smart moves. Daily games saw them peak at 1573, and although they haven't played much bullet lately, their 1648 peak in 2017 shows they can handle the pressure of lightning-fast decisions.
Playing Style & Psychology
Iris has a fondness for early resignations—about 45% of the time they gracefully bow out when the tides turn (perhaps sparing themselves needless suffering). But don't mistake this for giving up! With a comeback rate of over 53% and a whopping 73% win rate after losing a piece, Iris knows how to turn setbacks into sensational victories.
White, Black, blitz, rapid—it barely matters. Winning rates hover solidly above 57%, demonstrating versatility and adaptability. Their games average around 42 moves to a win, showing patience and a knack for long, tactical battles.
Tactical Genius with a Hint of Sass
Iris's longest winning streak peaked at 14 games—a feat that surely left many opponents scratching their heads (or tossing pawns in frustration).
