Strategic Preferences

The Psychological Edge

Playing with a tilt factor of 8 (because who doesn’t get a little frustrated when losing?), ayubkhan98 has brilliantly turned past setbacks into stepping stones. Their best time to strike is oddly at 2 AM, so if you catch them online late at night, beware — the dark hours fuel a 100% win rate at 2 AM in rapid games (no kidding!).

Recent Battles

Their latest victory was a classy win playing Black with the English Opening — a game where resignation was the weapon of choice, leaving the opponent waving the white flag after a long dance of strategic moves. But not every day is a win: the most recent loss came with a swift checkmate against the Van ’t Kruijs Opening, an occasional nemesis requiring future tactical improvements.

Trivia

• Longest winning streak: 6 games — not too shabby for a rapid pace!
• Longest losing streak: 8 games — everyone hits a bump on the cycle.
• Almost half of all wins come when playing Black — proving that they’re just as comfortable defending as attacking.
