Playing style

Max blends gritty endgame persistence with tactical prowess. He plays long games when winning is on the line and is famous for staged comebacks. Opponents should expect deep middlegame fights, patience in endgames, and a willingness to play on when others would resign.

  • Comeback rate is impressive - Max rarely gives up early.
  • Endgame frequency is high, so learning endgame techniques will punish or reward him.
  • Average decisive game length sits in the long game territory, so prepare for a marathon rather than a sprint.

Opening preferences

Max favors dynamic and less trodden lines while keeping a healthy dose of solid systems. Expect the Amazon Attack in many forms as White and a respectful mix of French and Australian lines as Black.

  • Amazon Attack and Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack - core of White repertoire

  • French Defense and its Exchange, Advance and Winawer branches - regular replies
  • Also plays Benoni and QGD setups depending on mood and clock
