Streaming & Personality

On stream houseline blends teaching with entertainment: rapid post‑game analysis, playful banter, and the occasional dramatic resignation. Viewers tune in for both the chess and the personality — expect candid reactions, jokes about blunders, and rapid‑fire commentary during Bullet sessions.

• Avg moves per loss: longer still (~73 moves), showing stubbornness in defense
• Endgame frequency: high — many games reach the late phases
• Early resignation rate: a quirky 0.94% — sometimes the drama ends quickly!

• Fun fact: the Scotch is a crowd pleaser — one of the best win rates across time controls
