Playing Style & Psychology

Morning is prime time for Feodotusia’s brainpower, boasting a best time to play at 6 a.m., thanks to a striking 63% win rate in that early hour. But beware the afternoon slump, as win rates dip in the 3-5 p.m. neighborhood. Tilt factor stands at 16%, indicating occasional emotional fireworks, but nothing crippling for this resilient warrior.
