Ardin Manja: The Chess Adventurer
Meet Ardin Manja, also known in the chess circles as Anbakiri — a player who’s more comfortable on the rapid battlefield than the bullet blitzkrieg. While many players chase lofty ratings, Ardin’s journey is more like a rollercoaster ride through the chess cosmos, with a max Rapid rating of 545 in 2025 and an adventurous spirit that can’t be tamed by numbers alone.
Playing Style & Strengths
Ardin’s style is a blend of patience and surprising tactical bursts. With a White win rate of 55.67%, he knows how to squeeze the best out of the opening, especially favoring the Scandinavian Defense and the Mieses Opening—where the wins flow around 60-80%. However, beware if you catch him with the King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation, where his winning chances drop to a humble 16%—proof that even experts have their quirks.
Though not a fan of bullet chess (max 663 rating but a tough 1 win to 4 losses ratio), Ardin shines in rapid games, winning almost half of the 165 rapid battles fought in 2025. His resilience is commendable, managing a comeback rate over 50% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—an indication that Ardin's fighting spirit is alive and well.
The Psychological Rollercoaster
With a tilt factor of 12, Ardin may occasionally shake his fist at the gods of chess luck, but overall his game remains steady. His longest winning streak reached an impressive 10 games — a testament to his capability when the stars align. He tends to win most games played during Monday or Sunday, with notable peaks at certain cheeky hours like 7 AM (85.7% win rate) and 10 AM (78.6%), proving that this player is perhaps part morning coffee, part strategic genius.
Famous Opponents & Rivalry Tales
Among his most frequent opponents is bakhodir0027, where battles are split evenly, showing a rivalry built on grit and respect. Against akavarvar, Ardin boasts a flawless 100% win rate, but beware—others like renso2029 repeatedly teach him humility.
Fun Fact
Ardin averages about 44 moves in a win—clearly someone who enjoys the journey as much as the victory. Early resignations are rare (just 9.28%), which means if you face Anbakiri, prepare for a fight till the endgame or until the coffee runs out.
In summary, Ardin Manja is not just a player, but a chess explorer—sometimes lucky, sometimes learning, always entertaining. So grab your pawns and knights, and dive into the ever-enthralling games of Anbakiri!
