Maanc0: The Rollercoaster Maestro of Rapid Chess

If chess were a rollercoaster, Maanc0 would be that thrilling ride full of ups, downs, and breathtaking twists — and you never quite know what to expect next. Starting from humble beginnings in early 2024 with a rapid rating barely flirting with the 200s, Maanc0 quickly stormed through the ranks, peaking impressively at a swift 505 in May 2025. This rapid ascent is no accident; it’s the product of tactical brilliance mixed with just the right amount of stubborn grit.

Playing Style & Stats

Known for an aggressive midgame and a penchant for early resignations when the tides turn, Maanc0’s style is all about seizing moments of opportunity. With an average of 42 moves in wins and a rather patient 62 moves in losses, Maanc0 demonstrates resilience even when the board fights back. A comeback win rate north of 65% speaks to a player who never throws in the towel without a fight.

Despite the occasional tilt factor of 6 (hey, who doesn’t get salty when the queen gets lost?), Maanc0 shines brightest during the late evening hours where the win rate hits a flawless 100% at 22:00 — something of a “witching hour” for opponents and a “power hour” for this player.

Opening Moves — Not for the Faint of Heart

• King's Pawn Opening (64% win rate): Maanc0 loves to open with e4 and knows how to pressure the center from the get-go.
• King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation (57% win rate): The Three Knights Opening is a favorite battleground, where Maanc0 skillfully weaves offense and defense.
• Scotch Game (56% win rate): An old-school classic, adequately mastered and well-used as a surprise weapon.
• And yes, Vienna and Alekhine’s Defense show up too — sometimes with less success, but it’s all part of the learning curve!

Record Highlights & Rivalries

With a Rapid win-loss-draw tally of 101 - 83 - 6, Maanc0’s games are never dull. The player enjoys exacting revenge with a perfect 100% win rate against several opponents like killaurra and kashif_345, but also knows how it feels to be on the other side — zero wins against a few challengers such as slz77 and liyemaaar. Rivalries keep Maanc0 sharp and hungry.

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak? Nine games straight — enough to cause a fainting spell in opponents.
• Longest losing streak? Six games, but that’s just “character building” time.
• Early resignations occur precisely 8.4% of the time — because sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
