Playing Strength & Style
dri_al3’s playing style is a fascinating blend of stubborn resilience and occasional bouts of early surrender — an early resignation rate of about 10% means sometimes it’s “game over” before the opening dance begins. However, their tenacity shines in comebacks, boasting an impressive 76% comeback rate after losing position or material. Endgames compose over a third of their games, with average wins taking about 38 moves.
Their win rate as White hovers around 45%, with a tougher time wielding the Black pieces at just 28%, so friends: if you play Black, watch out! Opponents beware particularly around the quiet hours at 2 AM — dri_al3's statistically best time to strike.
Opening Adventures
dri_al3’s repertoire reads like a travel guide through chess openings, dabbling with everything from Saragossa to the Van’t Kruijs Opening (where they have a perfect 100% win record in Rapid games!). In Blitz, the Giuoco Piano Center Attack is a strong suit—always aiming for those sharp middle game theatrics. Rapid games reveal a love-hate relationship with defenses such as the Caro Kann and Scandinavian Defense, which have so far been tough nuts to crack.
