Julien's preferred time to channel chess brilliance is in the early afternoon, boasting staggering win rates over 90% around 1-2 PM. Clearly, coffee and chess go hand in hand. Julien enjoys the queen’s gambit declined and other solid openings - secrets so top-notch that opponents rarely decipher them successfully.
