e-manseznamcz: The Tactical Dynamo with a Punchline
Meet e-manseznamcz, a fierce chess wrangler whose tactical awareness is so sharp, it could cut through silicon! Having danced their way through countless blitz and bullet games since at least 2015, this player isn’t just about quantity — the quality of play shines with a peak blitz rating north of 2049 in early 2020 and a bullet peak nearing 1882 in 2017.
Known for an 80.16% comeback rate and an uncanny ability to clutch wins even after losing a piece, e-manseznamcz is like the chessboard's own phoenix, rising from the ashes of almost-defeat to triumph. With an average of 68 moves per win in blitz (talk about endurance!) and a solid understanding of endgames, it’s clear no little blunder slips past them without a fight.
Opening Repertoire: Sicilian Dragon and Closed Sicilian Wizard
Their opening choices reveal a love for sharp and dynamic positions, including the famously combative Sicilian Defense Open Accelerated Dragon with a commendable win rate of 65%, and the versatile Closed Sicilian Defense - Grand Prix Attack. They’ve also incorporated interesting flavors like the Reti Opening Old Indian Attack and Philidor Defense Hanham Lion Variation, showing a strategic mind that enjoys surprise as much as solid play.
Bullet battles predominantly feature the Closed Sicilian Defense Grand Prix Attack and the Sicilian Defense Open Accelerated Dragon, but don’t be fooled – their variation and frequent usage suggest a player not afraid to spice things up or go deep into lesser-known lines for the sake of victory (or just to confuse their foes).
Playing Style & Personality
A subtle yet fierce player, e-manseznamcz tends to demonstrate less early resignation than average (only 1.58%!), holding tight throughout their fiery battles. With a white win rate just edging out black at 51.11%, they seem to prefer pressing first but remain equally dangerous on the counterattack. Their most dangerous time to play? Apparently a mysterious 2 AM magic hour — a fantastic time to catch opponents at their literal and figurative low!
When emotions run high, this skilled tactician’s tilt factor only clocking a modest 15, stays pretty composed compared to most weekend warriors. But when it’s time to strike, e-manseznamcz bounces back strong with an instinctive razor-sharp reaction to being behind on material — practically a phoenix.
Memorable Battles
e-manseznamcz has squared off against many foes, with the likes of pavlo1939, filipinochess, and yuribuzhor making frequent appearances in their game files — boasting respectably balanced records versus these common opponents.
Their most recent victories include thrilling checkmates with strategic finesse right down to the last move, showcasing their signature attack and defense combo that seems to have brainpower and endurance in spades.
In Conclusion
Whether you’re a fan of powerhouse blitz or adrenaline-fueled bullet, e-manseznamcz is a worthy challenger. With their resilient psyche, deep opening prep, and a penchant for comebacks, they keep the board – and their opponents – on their toes. Watch out for this wily warrior who even at 2 AM might just castle you into chaos and leave you wondering whether it was chess or wizardry all along.
Long may their pawns promote and their queens attack boldly!
Hello e-manseznamcz!
Great job maintaining an 1800-1900 blitz rating and playing a very active schedule. Below is a concise review of the patterns that stood out in your recent games and some practical ways to convert even more of them into wins.
What you already do well
- Consistent opening repertoire – as White you stay within Colle / “London-style” structures and as Black you are comfortable in the Tarrasch and French setups. This reduces the amount of theory you must memorise and lets you reach middlegames you know.
- Tactical alertness – many of your wins (e.g. against soyeric) come from spotting mating ideas in time pressure. You also handle queen-vs-rook conversions cleanly.
- Endgame persistence – converting the rook endgame against SoyEric showed patience and correct pawn use even with only a few seconds left.
Three focus areas for the next rating jump
1 Opening discipline vs. early pawn thrusts
Several recent losses stemmed from optimistic pawn pushes before development was complete. In the position below you played 17… Nxg4 without finishing kingside development, and the attack never quite materialised:
Tip: Follow the “four-move rule” – until your minor pieces & king are safe, avoid flank pawn pushes that create new weaknesses.
2 King safety & piece activity
Your favourite Ne5/…Ne5 manoeuvre is powerful, but sometimes you leave the back rank shaky afterwards. In your loss to danonino04 you allowed Qxg7 + ideas because the rook on a8 and bishop on c8 never joined the game. Before launching an attack, quickly ask “How many defenders does my own king have?”
3 Clock management
You flagged in a completely drawable ending against nimzowitts. Notice in the chart below how most of your losses occur in the final seconds of a 3-minute game:
Routine to try: Decide on a fixed “time budget” – aim to reach move 15 with at least 1 min 10 s left. If you are below that, simplify instead of complicating.
Action plan for the coming week
- Play five 10|0 rapid games to practise complete development before pawn storms.
- Review any game where you castle after move 10; look for quicker ways to secure the king.
- Solve 20 tactics per day that involve back-rank mates and exchange sacs (zwischenzug motifs help too).
Your milestones
Blitz peak so far: 2049 (2020-01-12) – let’s target +50 elo by tightening those three areas.
When you are ready for variety
- Add the Catalan move order (c4, g3) to complement your Colle setup – it gives you similar pawn structures but with a more dynamic bishop on g2.
- As Black, test the Semi-Tarrasch (…c5, …Nf6, …e6, …cxd4) to reduce isolated-pawn endings that sometimes haunt your Tarrasch games.
