I seem to see Zenic getting onto the checkmate images a lot more than other people, how is that possible?

I noticed it, too, always Zenic there ;-)

most people resign before the checkmate! or maybe he never goes for an endgame, but instead always goes for the kingside attack

He does have around 830 games going on.

Zenic is on the checkmates all the time because he used to have the most games on here at over 1500+
He plays chess like no other, I don't know how he does it. It's a hell of a lot of games.
RESPECT!

Does he have time to eat or sleep? Take showers? Seems like that must be a 24/7 job with not much pay🙂

Hi

I noticed this as well.

When I land on RHP I always play over one of the three games
and it's usually a Zenic classic.
He has blown some wonderful postions and pulled off a swindle or two.

He obviously does not have much time outside of playing
as he has posted just once in the forums.

Thread 85130 (page 2)

And restricted himself to just one word 'Candle'.

That was on the 26th January 2008. That must have been the day
when he was waiting for everyone else to move.

Good lord. That guy is a chess monster

I'd challenge him, but I am scared!

He's trying to mate with K+N+B vs K at the moment - having promoted a pawn to each of those minor pieces, and sacced a rook to leave just that material! Looks like he might do it, too, 25 moves in.

Game 6999775

Note - game still in progress.

LOL, Zenic has balls as big as a pair of grapefruits with the mumps - give 'er!

Just played over this from the 'top three'.

Game 5909436

It's not a Zenic but it's 100% entertainment.

Play guess the next move (it starts on move 2) and
see how many times you are wrong. Brilliant.

I see what you mean Greenpawn.

I didn`t predict a move correctly till blacks 6th move.

I didn`t look at the whole game but took the guess the next move challenge.

It was fun.

Investigation reveals, however, that Black has not moved in any game for 64 days, so Zenic may not get to show off his mating technique quite yet!

Just met this one Game 5775409

One of the more recent incredible games I've seen.

I wonder what newcomers think of these games.
