Opening Repertoire

Ambidextrous in strategy, bustryn favors classic and sharp openings alike.

This tenacity is paired with a near-perfect (100%) win rate after losing a piece—clearly, bustryn enjoys turning tables with a flair that could rival the greatest plot twists in chess history. Although sometimes prone to a slight tilt (a modest 10 on the tilt factor), the ability to bounce back (and back, and back) is unmatched.
