With over 36,000 bullet games under their belt (and more wins than losses—because who likes losing?), Pai Roo thrives in high-speed scenarios, wielding openings like the Old Benoni Defense and the Reti Opening like a seasoned gladiator. Their fierce repertoire includes a 55.92% win rate in the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation—because every pawn counts.
Rapid and Blitz formats are no strangers to Pai Roo’s competitive spirit either, achieving peaks of 1923 in Rapid and 2023 in Blitz ratings. So rapid, in fact, that their comeback rate after losing a piece is a whopping 74.88%, showing that quitting is simply not in their vocabulary.
Despite a "Tilt Factor" of 38—meaning Pai Roo occasionally might throw a (virtual) knight across the board—they excel in endgame situations nearly 69% of the time. Their games average about 72 moves per win, proving that patience and strategy aren't something they shy away from... even if speed is their natural habitat.
