Playing Strength & Style
EKSAY17’s chess résumé showcases a player who thrives in lengthy battles, boasting an impressive average of 63 moves per win and even more patience in losses at nearly 69 moves. This patient strategist prefers to see the endgame unfold naturally, indulging in it about 73% of the time.
While EKSAY17 isn’t one for early surrenders (resigning early less than 2% of games), their psychological resilience is tested by a “tilt factor” of 10, meaning after a misstep, the struggle to keep cool is a very real opponent. Lucky for them, their most victorious hour is around 5 PM—the perfect time to beat the clock and opponents alike.
