Playing Style & Personality
Ganesh plays with a tactical awareness that keeps opponents on their toes—making comebacks over 60% of the time after being down! His psychological resilience is equally noteworthy, with a tilt factor of 66, proving that like any serious gamer, he knows when to laugh at his own blunders before refocusing for the next battlefield.
His average game length shows a love for deep position battles, pushing games upwards of 60 moves when winning. However, once the dust settles, he’s not one to shy away from a quick surrender either, with an early resignation rate near 9%; because why prolong the agony against a chaos-loving opponent?
Favourite Openings
Ganesh shows particular affection for the King's Fianchetto Opening, playing it over 1300 times in Blitz with a near 50% win rate—a respectable record that suggests he’s more strategic cat than tactical mouse.
Other notable inclusions are the Owens Defense and Saragossa Opening, with varying success, proving Ganesh enjoys variety—sometimes to his detriment, but mostly to his flair.
