Playing Style & Personality
With an early resignation rate flirting around 6%, Asharib knows when to pick his battles. His games average around 49 moves to victory and 54 to defeat, showing a tenacity to grind in endgames, which make up nearly half of his matches. Interestingly, Black seems to be his lucky color with a nearly 50% win rate compared to 43% with White. We'd wager that's not just luck—strategic surprises like the Englund Gambit (a bold, somewhat cheeky opening) serve as Asharib’s secret weapon, boasting an impressive 55.56% win rate in Rapid play.
Opening Preferences & Performance
Asharib dances mostly around Queens’ Pawn openings, with the Accelerated London System and Zukertort Chigorin Variation standing out as his ring of fire—he manages about 44% and 62% wins respectively, proving his skill in less mainstream setups. His play in the King’s Pawn Opening is more modest, but collections like the Leonardis Variation offer a dependable if not spectacular 33% success. When forced into the Scandinavian Defense, Asharib fights hard, although with a 28.57% win rate it might be time to spice his repertoire.
Notable Records & Rivalries
When Asharib squares off against sazaara0 or moaiisinmyhouse, victory is often in hand, enjoying a flawless 100% win rate. However, opponents like rubaisha634 and tanguy2404 seem to be his kryptonite, with a 0% win rate against them, reminding us even the bravest warriors have foes to respect.
