Opening Gambits & Quirks

This player loves mixing it up in the opening:

• Saragossa Opening: Nearly 100 games, with a respectable 43% win rate.
• Philidor Defense: Their shining jewel with a win rate exceeding 52% — a rare gem among their more "even" stats.
• Scandinavian Defense: The unexpected weapon with an impressive 60% success rate, signaling sharp tactical instincts.

They also bravely step into less-charted territories like the King's Fianchetto and English King's English variations, where the win rates dip but the adventure never stops.

Battlefield Insights

Their highest winning streak is an impressive 9 games, showing moments of pure brilliance—while the same number marks their longest losing streak, proving that every great journey has its ups and downs.

Tactical Tenacity & Psychological Edge

With a comeback rate tipping near 72% after going down, evgen_1996 is the kind of player who refuses to throw in the towel too soon — except maybe in about 6% of games where they resigned early, because, hey, why drag out the inevitable defeat?

They also have a tilt factor of 9, meaning bad beats might sting a bit, but the spirit remains unbroken. Oddly enough, their best time to strike is in the 3 PM hour, when strategy meets peak caffeine-induced cognition.
