Playing Style
If chess were a craft, fixer-mind would be a careful carpenter: patient in the endgame, precise with checks, and fond of long, grinding wins. Expect long games (avg decisive lengths near 80 moves) and a high endgame frequency — games rarely finish before the late middlegame.
- Endgame-oriented: often converts small advantages into wins.
- Avg moves per decisive game: around 80 — endurance and technique matter.
- Strong comeback ability: high comeback rate and solid tactical awareness after material loss.

- White first-move tendency: Nf3 widely used — a flexible, modern approach.
