Recent games showcase a fierce checkerboard tactician with victories won by checkmate, often leveraging sharp openings to intimidate opponents. Whether dismantling defenses or surviving grim positions, akabones displays a remarkable understanding of endgames, indulging in them in more than two-thirds of their encounters.

And remember, they might pause their crusade around 2 PM because, apparently, that’s their peak time for brilliance—or at least, their favorite time to make coffee!
“In the words of akabones: Never underestimate the power of bones on the board.”
