Matensien – Candidate Master Extraordinaire

Meet Matensien, a chess wizard who earned the prestigious title of Candidate Master from FIDE — because “Master” alone just wasn’t enough. Known for their razor-sharp blitz battles, Matensien’s rating soared from a humble 1342 in 2020 to a spectacular 2550 by 2022, proving they don’t just play chess, they dominate it.

With over 2,900 blitz wins in their arsenal and a rapid style so fierce they’re undefeated in rapid games (yes, a perfect 4/4 win rate!), Matensien truly plays like they have a secret potion for tactical supremacy. Their comeback rate is an astonishing 89%, and if you manage to snag a piece from them, prepare to be shocked — Matensien’s win rate after losing material is a perfect 100%.

Playing Style – The Long Game Lover

Forget quick fights; Matensien loves lengthy endgames, with nearly 83% of their games reaching deep tactical and strategic waters. They average about 77 moves per win, crafting battles that would make Tolstoy proud. White pieces offer them some extra luck with a 54.86% win rate – Black? Still formidable, winning nearly 47% of the time.

Favorite Openings (And Beware!)

• Nimzo Indian Defense Classical Variation: 53% win rate across 111 games. A true go-to for establishing dominance early on.

• English Opening Symmetrical Anti Benoni Variation: Matensien’s Swiss Army knife with a whopping 69.5% win rate.

Other openings like the Alapin Sicilian might trip them up sometimes (a modest 33% win rate), but trust us, that's part of their charm: even masters have their quirks.
