ZENADI ANIS

Zenadi Anis - The Relentless Rapid Racer

Meet Zenadi Anis, known online as anis_zenadi, a rapid chess enthusiast who’s been steadily climbing the rating ladder and blazing through the ranks (sometimes with a minor detour or two). With a peak rapid rating of 443 achieved in October 2024, Zenadi proves that persistence and tactical creativity can outshine even the sneakiest of opponent’s moves.

Rating Rollercoaster

Zenadi’s journey in rapid chess is like an epic novel filled with thrilling highs and challenging dips. Starting 2024 with a promising but rocky 213 rating, they took a brief plunge to 107, only to rocket back, maxing out near the mid-400s by fall 2024. Over nearly 140 rated rapid games, they’ve maintained an almost perfectly balanced fight record with 62 wins, 63 losses, and 10 draws. A true testament that in chess, sometimes it's not about avoiding falls, but how spectacularly you rise.

Opening Adventures

When it comes to openings, Zenadi’s repertoire is adventurous and insightful. Favorites include the King’s Pawn Opening (though that one has been a rueful 23% win rate – a “work in progress”), the Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin variation (Zenadi’s secret weapon with a solid 60% win rate), and the crafty French Defense Normal Variation, boasting a robust 75% success rate.

Chess Personality and Style

Anis plays with both the white and black pieces with energy and cunning, winning slightly more often as White (51.5%) than Black (40.6%). Their average game length (around 54 moves) suggests a balanced style – not one for lightning-fast checkmate traps but rather a steady climb through the complexities of the game.

Known for an impressive 85% comeback rate and a 44.5% win rate even after losing a piece, Anis never throws in the towel without a fight. Admittedly, frustration (“tilt”) occasionally rears its head (a modest factor of 7), but the will to win — and sometimes checkmate with flair — always prevails.

Moments to Remember

Among many thrilling games, one recent gem stands out. On May 29, 2025, Anis delivered a smooth checkmate victory against tomtomtomittytom1 in the Bishop's Opening. The game showcased their knack for tactical precision and a little bit of chess wizardry.

The Opponents’ Tale

Zenadi has faced a variety of foes. While they have a perfect strike rate against players like tomtomtomittytom1, vic9112, and snowingbabe, some opponents like romko281 and gwenford12345 have managed to bring Zenadi to the edge (or even beyond) with tough battles ending in losses.

When to Watch

If you want to catch Anis at their best, evenings and nights seem prime: their win rate peaks impressively at 2 AM (yes, serious chess magic happens while the rest of us dream) and also looks solid during the 10 AM and 6 AM hours — a true night-owl meets morning-bird combo.

In Summary

Zenadi Anis may not be your typical chess grandmaster yet, but with determination, clever opening choices, and a warrior’s heart, this player is definitely one to watch. They understand that chess is not just a game of kings and queens but a rollercoaster of epic comebacks, relentless attacks, and sometimes spectacularly losing battles that only add to the thrill.
