Manfred Freitag - International Master
Meet Manfred Freitag, a chess player whose tactical brilliance and resilience on the board have earned him the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. With a blitz peak rating soaring close to 2700, Manfred's lightning-fast calculations and intuitive instincts have made him a formidable opponent in fast-paced formats.
Blazing Through Blitz
Manfred's blitz journey is a rollercoaster of rapid growth and relentless battles. Starting with occasional blunders in the early years, he quickly climbed the ranks to achieve an astonishing max rating of 2689 in 2022. With over 3,800 blitz games under his belt and a win rate hovering around 51%, he’s practically a blitz marathoner who knows when to sprint and when to play it cool.
Bullet and Rapid: Speed Demon and Strategist
Not only a blitz specialist, Manfred also flexes serious skills in bullet chess, surging up to a 2512 peak rating with a bullet win rate exceeding 55%. When it comes to rapid chess, he may dabble less, but his win rate of over 66% in that category shows that slow and steady can still win the race—albeit with fewer games played.
Playing Style & Psychological Edge
Endgame enthusiast alert! Manfred enjoys his chess fights long and hard, averaging about 76 moves per win. His psychological resilience is legendary, boasting a 91% comeback rate and a near-perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—proof that he's not just playing chess, he's playing minds.
Beware the tilt though: with a tilt factor of 8, even this maestro occasionally gets a little flustered—though he bounces back faster than you can say “checkmate.”
