Known for an eclectic opening repertoire, ELFBAR4000 has a soft spot for the King’s Pawn Opening, playing it fiercely across 10 rapid games with a respectable 50% win rate. Not just a one-trick pony, they wield the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation and Petrov’s Defense with about 67% success, showing tactical flair and resilience, especially when the going gets tough.

While ELFBAR4000’s blitz rating sits humbly at 100 as of April 2025, don’t let that fool you — their comeback rate in rapid games is a whopping 64.5%!

Sadly, not every day is a winning streak: ELFBAR4000 is currently on a losing streak of six games, perhaps fueled by an occasional tilt factor of 6. But give them 9 PM, and watch the magic: that's their prime time with an 80% win rate in the 21st hour — apparently when the elves come out to play!
