Rapid games proved no challenge either, reaching over 2120, and even daily ratings sneak at a perfect 400, though these are rare bursts of calm in a storm of fast moves.

Signature Openings & Winning Strategies

When the clock ticks down, IgmarBG confidently navigates the complexities of the Bird's Opening Dutch Variation, showing cunning with a near 46% win rate despite facing thousands of battles.
