Playing style & strengths

FutureSamurai favors long middlegames and endgames (high endgame frequency), prefers solid structures, and converts advantages with disciplined play. A few headline traits:

• Preferred time control: Blitz — fast decision-making, pre-move savvy and practical play under pressure.
• Endgame-oriented: often plays long games (avg moves per win ~58, avg loss ~64) and converts small edges.
• Tactical resilience: strong comeback rate and decent win rate after losing a piece — not easily demoralized.
• Psych: tilts occasionally (TiltFactor ~9) but bounces back with long winning streaks.

Top openings & repertoire highlights

FutureSamurai builds a reliable repertoire around the Caro-Kann and the Amazon Attack family, with frequent trips into Poisoned Pawn lines and some offbeat gambits for fun.

• Go-to defenses: Caro-Kann Defense — comfort, solidity and excellent results in Bullet and Blitz.
• Aggressive options: Amazon Attack (including Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack) — used to steer games into messy, practical positions.
• White systems: London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation appears often in Rapid and Blitz play.
• Gambit flair: dabbling in Amar Gambit and surprise traps when the clock is short.

Notable opening performance snapshots: Caro-Kann is a particular strength in Bullet (very high win rate) and reliable across Rapid/Blitz.
