MayankGo22 is a lively chess enthusiast navigating the exciting rollercoaster of rapid games, where the thrills are fast and the coffee is even faster.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for an average game length of about 47 moves when winning, MayankGo22 doesn't rush but likes to keep opponents guessing until the very end. With a solid endgame frequency of roughly 41%, this player likes to make the late-game dance their stage. An interesting quirk is Mayank’s early resignation rate of 9.44%, which suggests a no-nonsense approach: if the game is lost, it’s time to gracefully fold and prepare for the next battle.

While Mayank’s tactics may sometimes get tested (41.29% win rate after losing a piece), there’s a commendable 64% comeback rate – a fighter who doesn’t just fold the board when things look grim! The psychological tilt factor is low (6), indicating a cool-headed competitor who rarely lets emotions hijack the game.

Opening Repertoire

• King’s Pawn Opening: The bread and butter with nearly 137 games and an almost even win-loss ratio (~47.5% win rate).
• King’s Pawn Hippopotamus Defense: Defensive flair earns a balanced 50% win rate over 54 games.
• Van ’t Kruijs Opening: An aggressive sweet spot with a whopping 75% win rate in 16 rapid games – looks like this is a secret weapon!
• Scandinavian Defense: Mayank faces a bit of a love-hate relationship here, hovering at ~46% win rate.

Blitz and bullet openings show a variety of choices, though somewhat limited in sample size. Queens Pawn Opening in blitz is a mini fortress with a perfect 100% win rate from just 2 games. Clearly, MayankGo22 likes both classic and quirky fronts to keep opponents on their toes.
