Playing Quirks & Fun Facts

EjagAlfonso’s best time to wreck the board? Oddly enough, around 1 AM, where he reaches an almost mythical 100% win rate in those magic early morning hours (just don’t ask about his afternoon naps!). His psychological tilt factor is modest, at 7, meaning he mostly keeps calm when the chess gods aren’t smiling. Although he sometimes loses on time (timeout loss count is higher than wins!), when on the clock, he plays boldly and tactically.

Whether it’s the thrill of blitz or the calculated pace of rapid, EjagAlfonso keeps pushing pieces and opponents to their limits with a smile and a clever move up his sleeve. Maybe one day he’ll crack the 2200-rating club — or at least have enough fun trying!
