Quirks & Chess Personality

Interestingly, DustInMyWake performs best in the early dawn hours with a psychological 'best time' to play around 4:00 AM—could their secret weapon be coffee, the tranquility or sheer insomnia? Either way, it seems night owls beware!

With average moves per win being approximately 70 and slightly longer games on losses, patience clearly plays a key role in their style. The player balances tactical sharpness with an enduring endgame presence, appearing in the endgame over 75% of the time—a testament to serious strategic thinking.
