Fahim Manawi – The Mysterious Chess Virtuoso
Meet Fahim Manawi, a player whose rating graph looks like the thrill of a rollercoaster and whose chess style could best be described as "Top Secret." With a rapid peak rating flirting around 880+, daily chess adventures topping just over 1030, and blitz battles heating up near 530, Fahim is a player who's clearly comfortable across multiple time controls — even if bullet chess remains a bit of an elusive beast at a modest 230 peak.
Fahim’s rapid journey tells a tale of persistence: from humble beginnings in early 2024, steadily climbing his way through wins and losses alike, he’s forged an impressive 164-146 win-loss record with 16 heroic draws. Daily chess is where Fahim truly shines, boasting a strong winning rate above 67% in their favorite "Top Secret" openings, proving that sometimes the best strategies are, well… top secret.
Style & Personality
A master of patience, Fahim averages about 56 moves per win, savoring the endgame where 64 squares become a one-person playground — with over 63% endgame frequency. Psychologically tough, Fahim bounces back well from setbacks with a notable 54.6% comeback rate. Although he has a slight tilt factor of 6 (hey, nobody’s perfect), his ideal time to shine is at 7 PM, when his win rate rockets to a perfect 100%. Perhaps the brain just loves a good evening chess snack.
But beware! An early resignation rate of 4.49% reminds opponents that Fahim knows when to fold ‘em — demonstrating wisdom in knowing when the king’s fate is sealed and conserving energy for the next clash.

Yet, even champions stumble, as seen in recent losses by checkmate, showing Fahim’s battles are the stuff of legend, full of thrilling ups and downs.
Alongside a longest winning streak of 14 games, which might just be their personal record for convincing friends to call them "Grandmaster" in casual banter, Fahim keeps grinding.
