Mateusz Marszałkowski aka WINmarszalNER

Meet Mateusz Marszałkowski, a chess enthusiast who dances impressively on the 64 squares—sometimes even managing to make his queen do a flawless checkmate pirouette. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 268 in April 2025, Mateusz is no stranger to tactical puzzles, strategic gambits, and the occasional "wait, how did I just lose my bishop?!" moments.

His rapid games reveal a player who loves a challenge, having played over 250 games in 2025 alone, with a quirky blend of wins, losses, and draws that keep things exciting for both fans and foes alike. Mateusz seems quite fond of the Top Secret opening—mysteriously effective with a 43.6% win rate—and he has a soft spot for the Englund Gambit, boasting an impressive 80% success rate there. Unfortunately, the Bishop's Opening has been less friendly, yielding a clean 0% win rate (but hey, at least he's consistent).

Mateusz’s style is a mix of patience and flair, often dragging games deep into the endgame (over 55% frequency)—perhaps savoring every move like a chess epic. His average winning game lasts nearly 56 moves, proving he prefers to win a marathon, not a sprint. Yet, when things go south, Mateusz is no quitter... well, except the 18% early resignation rate might suggest he knows when to “exit stage left” before the position embarrasses him too much!

Psychologically, he is resilient with a remarkable 68.5% comeback rate after falling behind. Though the tilt factor is modest at 6, his best chess hour is 11 AM, when caffeine and brain synapses seem to combust in perfect harmony. Mateusz shines on Thursdays with a stellar 52% win rate—maybe a secret "Thursday motivation" ritual is at play?

Match Highlights

Mateusz’s most recent win was a brisk affair against jonois-the-best1296734 on April 20, 2025, where the game concluded after just three moves in a Queen's Pawn Opening gambit, securing a quick victory due to his opponent’s early retreat.

Among his more cinematic victories was a razor-sharp checkmate on April 13, 2025, utilizing the Bishop’s Opening and a breathtaking Queen-foray leading to a swift mat. Conversely, his latest loss on May 4, 2025, came in a solid Queen’s Pawn Opening encounter where his opponent forced a resignation after a gritty 20-move skirmish.

Opponent Trivia

He has tangled most often with mateuszpietraszewski (32 battles) and rudyowsik (10 battles), though his record against these chess comrades is rocky, with only about a quarter of those matches coming out on top.

All in all, Mateusz Marszałkowski is a spirited player with flashes of brilliance and a willingness to dive deep into the game's complexities. Whether breezing through rapid fire or bullet duels, WINmarszalNER brings heart, humor, and a pinch of unpredictability to the chessboard.
