Rating Rollercoaster

Starting off in 2013 with a Blitz rating near 600, Ernst’s rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster more than a steady climb.

Ernst is particularly fond of classic openings, often putting the King’s Pawn Opening and its knights through their paces, boasting a near 47% win rate. He also enjoys the Queen's Pawn Opening Accelerated London System, shining with a respectable 53% win rate. Not to be pigeonholed, he dives into the Scotch Game and occasionally unleashes the Van’t Kruijs Opening — a choice perhaps as quirky as his sense of humor!

Playing Style & Psychology
