Grandmaster Manolache Marius (aka Geremyx)
Meet Manolache Marius, a chess Grandmaster who dances with the sixty-four squares like a maestro conducts a symphony—strategic, bold, and occasionally delightfully unpredictable. Known in the chess world as Geremyx, he’s not just a title-holder; he’s a force of nature at the board with a playful flair for the dramatic.
A Journey Through the Ranks
Marius earned his grandmaster cloak through fierce battles and brilliant victories, steadily climbing the rating ladder.

Style and Strengths
Known for epic endgames that can stretch over 80 moves, Marius rarely bats an eye before resigning—a humble 0.29% early resignation rate means he fights until the last pawn stands. His comeback rate is a jaw-dropping 89%, showcasing a knack for turning lost battles into thrilling victories. Psychologically, he’s a resilient soul, though a tilt factor of 14 suggests even the best have that moment when the king feels a bit dizzy.
Opening Arsenal: Top Secret (Almost)
Like a secret agent with a pawn in every plot, Marius relies heavily on "Top Secret" openings, bagging a cheeky 60% win rate in rapid and close to 46% in blitz at massive game counts.
