Opening Repertoire Highlights

• Rapid: Loves the Scotch Game, boasting a strong 67% win rate—a tad aggressive and always ready to stir the center early.

Recent Highlights & Trivia

Few things get BenBenYuCA’s heart racing more than a well-executed checkmate. Their recent victory in the classic Scotch Gambit saw the opponent’s king dancing a doomed jig culminating in a beautiful Qxh7#. A testament to their attacking instincts and tactical sharpness!
