Playing style & psychology

  • Endgame-oriented: Endgame frequency is high — electrowas finishes fights rather than splitting the point.
  • Tactical resilience: ComebackRate is strikingly high, demonstrating a talent for turning bad positions into wins.
  • Patience + surprise: Average moves per win (~75) show willingness to grind; opening choices include cheeky and sharp lines that unsettle opponents.
  • Human quirks: TiltFactor 27 — even the best sometimes need a coffee after a bad streak.
