Afrobwaii’s psychological game shows interesting nuances—a preferred playtime is the late night/early morning hours around 2 AM when the brain is sharpest or perhaps the coffee effects kick in. Oddly enough, morning and late-evening playtimes yield best win percentages.

- Bullet: The Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack variants dominate, with a particularly strong performance in the classical line.

Recent Games Snapshot
