Profile Summary: mjmangus16

Meet mjmangus16, a Rapid chess enthusiast who’s more comfortable with their pawns than rabbits—although their rabbit-hopping tactics on the board often leave opponents hopping mad! With a peak Rapid rating of 909 in November 2020, they soared to dazzling heights early on, but like all great warriors, they've faced their share of battles (and losses) on the 64 squares ever since.

Playing Style & Highlights

This player prefers the rhythm of Rapid chess, demonstrating patience and resilience with an average game lasting around 50 moves, proving they're in no rush to cash in on a win. Early resignations are rare (just over 7%), signaling a fighting spirit that refuses to fold easily. Tactical awareness is a cornerstone, illustrated by a remarkable 67.82% comeback rate—mjmangus16 loves to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat (or at least tries to with promising moves). When down a piece, they still manage to maintain a respectable 36.65% win rate. Not bad for anyone who’s probably yelled at their mouse a few times!

Opening Repertoire

The Bishop’s Opening is their most beloved, boasting an impressive 56.99% win rate over 93 games—clearly a recipe that works. The Van ’t Kruijs Opening and Scandinavian Defense are also in their toolbox, offering a spicy mix of tactics and strategies that keep opponents on their toes.

Battle Record

mjmangus16 enjoys vying with regulars like gobills (32 games) and others, showing remarkable tenacity and some seriously impressive 100% win records against many. Some opponents, like hakeemjo, have had their way, but hey, every hero needs an arch-nemesis!

Fun Fact

“Great players are made of losses, jokes, and the occasional blunder” might as well be mjmangus16's motto. A lover of deep, gritty battles, they once endured a 15-game losing streak but bounced back to remind us all that the true king of the board is the one who keeps playing.

Keep calm and castle on, mjmangus16!
