Meet sanmanp: The Chess Enthusiast with a Tactical Twist
Sanmanp is a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as it is tenacious. Known for a “top secret” opening repertoire that somehow confounds opponents and keeps them guessing, sanmanp has logged over 2,500 blitz and rapid games combined, proving their dedication to the game—and perhaps an addiction to adrenaline-fueled time controls.
Rating Rollercoaster
In 2024, sanmanp reached a blitz max rating of 1079, with a slightly humbling drop down to around 936 by year's end. Rapid chess was their playground, boasting a peak rating of 1216 and an average just shy of 1000. Bullet chess? Less frequent, but with some fierce moments peaking near 980 points. Daily chess, however, remains an enigma, with only a handful of games and a modest rating settled in the mid-600s—perhaps proving that sanmanp prefers their battles fast and furious.
Playing Style and Psychology
With an early resignation rate of just over 8%, sanmanp isn’t the type to give up easily—unless that pesky queen sneaks away. Their games tend to be lengthy affairs, averaging almost 60 moves in victory and over 62 in defeat, highlighting a stamina and strategic depth that many admire. The psychological tilt factor hovers around a manageable 9, indicating that setbacks are met with persistence rather than meltdown. Tactical awareness shines brightly here, with a phenomenal 100% win rate after losing a piece—sanmanp knows how to claw back like a chess ninja.
Epic Streaks & Opponents
Sanmanp’s longest winning streak stretches to a hearty 10 games, a testament to their peak focus. Current streak might be zero, but as every chess player knows, zero is just the start of infinite possibilities. Opponents beware: the win rates against various foes swing wildly, from disarming 0% to a smug 100% against several rivals. And if you’re lucky enough to face sanmanp, prepare for a battle filled with unpredictable twists.

Hi sanmanp – personalised coaching notes
1. What you already do well
- Attacking instinct – you spot tactical hits such as 11.Bxd5! and Qxh7# and convert many winning positions.
- Quick castling as White – in most games you castle by move 10, giving your king an early safety net.
- Piece activity – bishops on c4 and knights on g5 often pose real problems for your opponents.
2. Biggest improvement priorities
- King safety as Black • Four of your last five losses featured an exposed king (…Kh7–g7 vs parid_rubyanto, …Kh8 vs THEFLAIME). • Castle by move 10 and postpone pawn moves such as …gxf6, …h6, …f5 until then.
- Count before you capture In the loss to parid_rubyanto, 18…Rxf2 walked into g-pawn promotion. Before grabbing material ask, “What is the next check, capture or threat against me?”
- Sound openings with Black 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Bc5?! leaves f7 weak. Replace it with a main-line choice: • 2…Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 (Ruy Lopez) or • 2…Nf6 (the Petrov Defence).
- Time management Two recent games were lost on time in balanced positions. Try to keep ≥60 s on the clock by move 20; if you slip below that, simplify instead of hunting perfection.
3. Two-week training plan
- Daily: solve 15 puzzles focusing on pins, forks and the discovered attack.
- Build a mini-repertoire:
• White – learn the first 6 moves of the Italian (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4).
• Black – choose the Scandinavian (1.e4 d5) or classical 1.e4 e5 systems and follow them to move 10. - After each game, save one critical position and spend 5 minutes analysing “my 3 candidate moves”.
- Endgame: practise the Lucena and Philidor rook-and-pawn techniques for 10 minutes every other day.
