• Van t Kruijs Opening: No strangers here either, with an impressive 83.33% success over 6 battles—who knew unconventional openings could bring such joy?
• King's Pawn Opening (various variations): A mixed bag – Leonardis Variation is a sweet spot at 100% wins, but the Knight Variation? Only 25%. There’s room for growth!
• Nimzowitsch Defense: A terror to ammonedem’s scorecard at 0% wins in 4 attempts. Beware this opening if facing ammonedem!
