Style & Strengths

Averaging about 48 moves to a win means they prefer a deep, strategic battle that tests patience and stamina — or just love a long, thrilling fight!

Opening Choices & Performance
- Bullet: Loves the mysterious "Unknown Opening," explored in a whopping 1880 games, with almost a 50% win rate.
Also a fan of the "Top Secret" opening (no, really, it’s called that!), boasting a slightly better 50.85% win rate. - Rapid & Blitz: While also dabbling in unknowns, the "Scandinavian Defense" and "King’s Pawn Leonardis Variation" give them a special edge, frequently yielding over 60% wins in bullet games.
- Beware the Petrov’s Defense, where the win rate takes a small dip—sometimes even the best warriors have their kryptonite!
