Known for his tenacity, Alejandro rarely surrenders early, with an endgame frequency of about 75% proving he's a fighter to the bitter end. Games often last 70+ moves, showing patience and strategic depth, and when adversity strikes, his 83% comeback rate and 100% win rate after losing a piece keep opponents on edge—like a chess thriller starring Alejandro himself!

Strengths and Quirks

With a tilt factor of 14, Alejandro occasionally lets frustration peek through, but it never dulls his chess zest.
