Playing Style & Stats
Known for a surgical approach that favors long, thought-out battles, Arman’s average game triumphs last over 82 moves—a testament to endurance and chess democracy. With a win rate hovering over 56% when playing white and a near-equally menacing 55% with black, Arman isn’t just good at moving pieces; they’re good at moving minds.
Early resignation? Barely a blip on the radar at 1.33%. Instead, this IM thrives in endgames, featuring an impressive 84.4% frequency, proving the middle game murderers often are also endgame poets.
Tactical Brilliance & Mental Fortitude
With a comeback rate of 86.65%, Arman has the heart of a champion and nerves of steel. Losing a piece isn’t a panic moment but a challenge, as they maintain a 54.1% win rate even after down material. Tilt factor? Just a humble 9, which in chess feverishness terms means excellent emotional control — but hey, nobody’s perfect!
Signature Openings & Memorable Battles
When it comes to openings, Arman keeps a cloak of Top Secret that’s as mysterious as their tactical prowess. But their games show a versatile repertoire, including favorites like the Indian Game and Queen’s Gambit Accepted that have tripped up many ambitious challengers.
Recent Adventures on the Board
In a recent duel, Arman danced victoriously against BeastFromSouthEast by resignation after a strategic onslaught in the Indian Game - Knights Variation, demonstrating patient pressure and timely sacrifices. Yet, even a grandmaster’s journey has bumps: a close loss by checkmate to PartyPandaBear reminds us that chess is a game of resilience as much as brilliance.
