Manunthon Atikankhotchasee (aka SriPrae)

Woman FIDE Master

Manunthon Atikankhotchasee, known across the chessboards as SriPrae, is a tenacious and spirited Woman FIDE Master whose journey through the ranks showcases a colorful blend of dogged determination, clever tactics, and the occasional dramatic flourish worthy of a grandmaster novel.

Rating & Playing Style

With a peak blitz rating of 1668 (as recent as June 2024) and a bullet high soaring to 1750, SriPrae embodies the quick-thinking energy of fast-paced chess. Not one to shy away from scrappy battles, they balance an aggressive style with deep endgame knowledge, finishing most games with around 55 moves — which means they are definitely in it for the long haul, not just rushing to claim a victory or resign dramatically.

Interestingly, SriPrae's comeback rate is a confident 71%, proving that losing a piece is merely an invitation for some jaw-dropping tactical wizardry. But beware: their longest losing streak hits 22 games—because even great warriors get caught in storms before the sun shines again!

Opening Secrets & Tactical Flairs

SriPrae’s secret weapon is humorously labeled "Top Secret", played over 900 times in blitz with a solid ~51% win rate. But they also dabble in classics like the Philidor Defense Exchange Variation, which yielded a beautiful checkmate victory as recently as 2025 with a stunning queen sacrifice. Their ability to provoke and capitalize on opponent mistakes makes them a formidable foe on the battlefield.

Personality & Quirks

With nearly equal success holding white or black pieces, and a willingness to fight both below and above their rating, they embody the classic chess spirit: always learning, always battling, and always keeping their opponents guessing.

Community Standing
