The average game length hints at a patient thinker, averaging about 41 moves per victory. Interestingly, white pieces grant a better winning edge (54%) compared to black’s respectable 43%.

Memorable Battles

One recent victory saw alizebra tactically outwit opponent splittrain using the Center Game, emerging victorious on time after a fierce 17-move duel. There’s also the dramatic win where alizebra’s timing was impeccable against raju803 in the Queen's Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense.

Losses come as part of the ride. Even masters stumble, like battling against AquaHarris in an English Opening game that slipped away on time. Yet, each game is a lesson and another step towards chess mastery.

In the grand chess tournament of life, alizebra embodies resilience, strategy, and the occasional cheeky gambit to keep opponents on their toes.
