Manjunath Hegde: The Chess Journey

Meet Manjunath Hegde, or as you might find him on the board, manjunathkhegde – a player whose chess rating has seen more ups and downs than a roller coaster at a funky amusement park.

The Ratings Rollercoaster

Beginning in 2022 with a Rapid rating around 900, Manjunath's 2023 saw a peak near 1100 in Rapid games – quite the leap for someone who sometimes struggles to remember how the knight moves at midnight! Though 2024 brought a dip (hello, puzzle overload?), 2025 bounced back impressively, reaching over 1000 in Rapid, proving perseverance (and a lot of coffee) really pay off.

Style & Strategy

With an Early Resignation Rate of just 4.5%, Manjunath is not one to throw in the towel easily. His endgames? About 54% of his games see the gritty, long-haul finish, much like a mystery novel you just can't put down.

He averages around 58 moves per win – a marathoner of the chessboard, truly appreciating the art of slow and steady.

Psychology of a Fighter

Most impressively, after losing a piece, his winning rate is a perfect 100% – a true comeback kid! Of course, everyone has their off days, and with a tilt factor of 12, Manjunath knows how to channel frustration into fierce determination instead of flipping the board (most of the time).

Versatile Across Time Controls

From bullet battles to blitz skirmishes, Manjunath has logged hundreds of games. While his Blitz and Bullet ratings have had their share of challenges, his rapid play shines brightest – a testament to steady thinking over frantic clicking.

A Record Against All Comers

With a long list of opponents, Manjunath has a quirky win rate: perfect scores (100%) against many, but a couple of foes clearly know how to ruffle his pieces, like megaloceros_ice at just 35.7% wins.

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak? 10 games – proving that when the stars align, even grandmasters watch out.
• Is there a perfect hour to play? 11 PM seems magical with a 100% win rate – maybe he’s a night owl genius!
• Win rate highest on Fridays (51.8%) – we guess chess and weekend vibes go hand in hand.

In short, Manjunath Hegde is a mix of resilience, strategic depth, and that special spark of unpredictability that makes chess fascinating. Whether outmaneuvering opponents or just charming the chess community with his style, he’s a player worth following — or at least watching for that epic comeback after losing a key piece.
