Profile Summary: ManueIIsen
Welcome to the intriguing world of ManueIIsen, an adventurous chess player whose rating journey is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster ride! Starting off in 2021 with a modest rapid rating around 300, ManueIIsen showed a knack for bouncing back from setbacks, peaking spectacularly at an impressive rapid rating of 663 by early 2025. Clearly, persistence pays off – even if the path includes a few detours through the 200s!
This player has an unmistakable love for the King's Pawn Opening and its various knightly variations, wielding these with a steady 50%+ win rate that proves both charm and danger unfold from those classic e4 moves. Never one to shy from a challenge, the Bishops Opening Berlin Defense is ManueIIsen's secret weapon with a staggering 69%+ win rate in rapid games – that’s some bishop magic right there.
When it comes to game tempos, rapid is the main stage where ManueIIsen shines, grinding out over 1,100 games and maintaining a positive win-to-loss ratio. Blitz and bullet formats add spice to their style, with tactical wins showing a real flair for quick thinking and sharp endgames. Those average moves per win – roughly 48 – suggest a player who enjoys both the long haul and sudden tactical fireworks.
But don’t let the numbers fool you – behind this statistics-packed exterior hides a player who sometimes resigns early (around 13% of the time), probably after realizing they've blundered a piece or accidentally fed their opponent a free pawn, much to the audience’s amusement. High tilt factor of 10 means post-loss sulking is a real phenomenon, but inspirational comebacks occur nearly 2/3 of the time. Chess drama, anyone?
Recent Highlights
- Latest Victory: A swift and confident win using the Bishops Opening, forcing opponent Vikasjaiswar9 to resign after just 11 moves. That’s efficiency worthy of a standing ovation!
- Most Recent Defeat: Lost to wilifredo64 in a closed Sicilian battle that ended with a tactical knockout. Even grandmasters have off days, right?
Playing Style & Personality
ManueIIsen’s style is a fine blend of strategic patience and tactical surprises, with a notable tendency to enter lengthy endgames (played in nearly half of all games) and a solid willingness to take risks reflected in their comeback rate of 61%. This player prefers mornings – especially around 6 AM – when the chess brain is apparently most awake and plotting domination.
Opponents beware: ManueIIsen boasts near-perfect win records against a host of rivals, though not all foes have been so intimidated. The mysterious losses heap a little suspense on this profile, suggesting that it's not all smooth sailing but rather a gripping saga of victories, setbacks, and comebacks.
In short, ManueIIsen is a chess protagonist you want to watch – a fighter who embodies the eternal truth of the game: it’s not about winning every battle, but about enjoying every move on the board... and maybe occasionally frustrating your foes with a sneaky Berlin Defense trap.
