On average, wins are slightly longer than losses (44 moves vs. 40 moves), revealing a tendency to grind down opponents rather than rushing to the finish.

Though some defeats have been swift and punishing, such as a brutal checkmate suffered against a player wielding the Hippopotamus Defense, they also boast impressive victories against players with a perfect 100% win rate from their encounters.
