Manas is the best player under 20 in the world imo. Skinny and hasn't grown into his body, but fearless and not easily perturbed like so many youngsters.
Heck, Wiktor Zielenski is like five years older and still gets mentally thrown off course too easily.
Manas is very steady. A shotmaker. Good kicker and jumper. And a better safety game than I expected for someone so young.
Manas will play anyone. Recently had long challenge matches with Fedor Gorst and Mickey Krause.
He often jumps ahead of older players, but also keeps losing his leads and losing the match as he goes deeper.
Same thing happened in the Marboys Open. Was up 10-9 vs Chua in the semis and lost 11-10. Couple of safety shots leaked out.
Getting to the very top requires more than just skills. Developing a mental edge and ability to handle the pressure will determine if Manas truly pans out.
