Known for his endurance, Manush averages around 82 moves per game whether winning or losing, showing that every game is a marathon, not a sprint.

Famous For

Manush has faced a varied gallery of opponents, including "cruz29" and "inshinyarmor." Against some, he sports a stellar 100% win rate, while others still puzzle him (looking at you, "lecrazybishop"). Despite a tilt factor of 7—he's human after all—he excels best when the clock strikes 3 AM. If you're up late, you might catch him strategizing moves when everyone else is dreaming.

Recent Battles

Just this year, Manush delivered a classic stroll through the Slav Defense, mastering the position and winning by resignation against tough competitors. And while losses sting like anyone else's, Manush treats them like caffeine for improvement—winning or losing, the journey through each game is nothing short of epic.

Fun Facts

  • Has a longest winning streak of 14 games – that’s longer than some Netflix binges!
  • Manush’s games are about patience: on average, each win or loss clocks around 82 moves.
  • White pieces tend to yield a slightly better success rate (47.9%) than Black (44.98%), but don't count on color to guarantee victory!

In short, Manush Shah is the embodiment of international mastery with a style both gritty and graceful. With impressive ratings and a fighting spirit, this chess sharp-shooter ensures every game is a battlefield where strategy reigns supreme—and entertaining chess tales are made.
