Favorite Openings
King's Pawn Opening variations dominate Ekamjot’s repertoire — sometimes succeeding brilliantly, other times... well, let’s say it’s a love-hate relationship, especially the Leonardis Variation where the win rate stubbornly refuses to climb above zero. The Englund Gambit is a weapon of choice with a neat 50% success, while setups like the Bishop's Opening bring out the charm with a 66.7% win rate. Versatility is key, but there’s a noticeable fondness for classic, aggressive lines.
