He also dabbles in the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack, showing off an experimental flair, especially in blitz and bullet games.

The Human Side

Behind the screen of AbrarxisGrim lives a true chess journeyman — one who handles the tilt factor with roughly 10%, meaning even after a tough loss, Andus shakes it off ready for the next game with a smile (or at least a well-timed resignation). His longest winning streak? An admirable 9 games, with the heartbreak of a 10-game losing streak lurking somewhere in the shadows — hey, nobody’s perfect!

Win rates vary depending on the opponent, with some players mercilessly taken down and others proving to be pesky rivals. For instance, AbraxisGrim has a perfect record against arqui85 and 45ladepop, but a tough time versus joe123lol and xavier1003.

Judging by the handy "checkmate by pawn promotion" and clever knight maneuvers in recent games, Andus clearly loves to keep it exciting. Opening with unconventional moves like 1...h6? Why not!
