Alexander Manrique: The Chessboard's Nimble Biologist
Meet Alexander Manrique, a chess player whose game evolves like a curious organism adapting to its environment. Known online as sandyx17, Alexander has gracefully navigated the complex ecosystem of bullet, blitz, rapid, and daily chess formats, displaying a growth curve that any naturalist would envy.
Since 2020, Alexander has been steadily increasing his rating—his bullet rating peaked at a spiky 839 in 2025, while his blitz rating shows a bit of a metamorphosis, settling around 542 recently. Like cellular mitosis, his games multiply rapidly; in 2024 alone, he played an astonishing 1,781 bullet games, proving that when it comes to speed chess, he’s got quite the replicative stamina.
If chess openings were DNA sequences, Alexander treats his repertoire as Top Secret genetic code, boasting an impressive near 50% win rate over almost 3,000 bullet games. His blasting rapid style and resilient bullet play result in a roughly balanced win/loss record, but with a remarkable 74.9% comeback rate – like a phoenix rising from the ashes of lost pawns and captured pieces. His psychological tilt factor is low at 12, making him one composed competitor under stress—no sudden mutations in behavior here!
With a longest winning streak of 13 games, Alexander’s focus and determination on the board resemble the unyielding focus of a well-adapted predator in the wild. Notably, his win rate after losing a piece is a flawless 100%, making him a master of tactical regeneration and survival.
Beyond numbers, Alexander’s playing style is reminiscent of a slow but steady evolutionary pace — an endgame frequency of nearly 70% and an average moves per win around 58 show his penchant for letting the game mature fully before delivering the knockout blow. Expect strategic plants to sprout across the board with every patient move.
Whether battling opponents online (with some memorable victories against "keremtheboyy" and "idmachines" at 100% win rates) or enduring the chess jungle’s grind, Alexander plays with the heart of both scientist and warrior. In the vast biosphere of chess, he's a specimen whose adaptability and tenacity will ensure his survival through many seasons to come.
May his ideas evolve and his predator instincts never stall — after all, in this game of survival of the fittest, Alexander Manrique is playing checkmate to biology!
