Opening Mastery (or... Experimentation)

Frederic has an affection for the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack in many of its moods — winning over 60% of his Blitz games with the mainline Nimzowitsch Larsen, and comfortably juggling Modern Defense and Reti variations. His repertoire says: "Why stick to the common lines when you can keep your opponent guessing?"

Bonus fun fact: his win rate with the Kings Pawn Opening in Blitz sits at a humble 23%, meaning he knows that all openings have their days... and his particular days tend to shine elsewhere.

Tactical Trajectory and Psychological Notes

The comeback king! Frederic boasts an impressive 76.8% comeback rate — losing material doesn't spook him much. However, his tilt factor of 8 warns opponents that pushing his buttons might invite some fiery refusal.

Most lethal when the clock strikes 11:00 — this is his psychological prime time to outwit and outplay unaware foes.
