Playing Style: The Rollercoaster Ride

Brace yourself for a mix of strategic patience and daring gambits, often ending games around the 56-move mark.

Favorite Openings

• King's Pawn Opening, King's Knight Variation – the jewel in BRAE_20's repertoire boasting a solid 75% win rate!
• Englund Gambit – a less conventional choice that works about 40% of the time, because why follow the crowd?
• Queen's Pawn Opening – a respectable but tough battleground with a 37.5% win rate.

Other openings like the Van ’t Kruijs or Petrovs Defense Classical Variation sometimes make appearances, though BRAE_20’s results there are more “practice makes perfect” than “unstoppable force.”

Notable Moments & Rivalries

Our hero’s longest winning streak stands at a proud 5 games, while the longest losing streak stretched to a challenging 7 games. Opponents beware, though: players like nugget_fisch and rachdar have witnessed a perfect win rate from BRAE_20 – a small army of vanquished foes!

Recent wins include a nail-biting victory by time against Ibanezez (May 2025) and a checkmate masterpiece over murfyyy3. Losses come with lessons, such as the quick resignation to TheDardoche, fueling the fire to come back stronger.

Playing Times & Quirks

Chess hours vary wildly for BRAE_20, but apparently 5 AM is peak brilliance – perhaps a brilliant mind fueled by dawn’s coffee. Thursdays tend to be lucky, with a win rate hovering near 62%, while some evenings (hello 18:00!) might be best avoided.

Psychologically, BRAE_20 shows a low “tilt factor” of 7 – meaning they mostly keep cool, though everyone has an “off day.” With a tendency to outperform against lower-rated opponents and struggle against stronger ones, BRAE_20 keeps sharpening tactics, learning to turn surprises into checkmates.
