Opening Repertoire
The Sicilian Defense is one of Zepeda's most frequently played choices, particularly in Daily chess, where the recorded win rate is especially strong.

In faster formats, Zepeda is not afraid of unusual systems and gambits, giving the repertoire a distinctly unpredictable flavor.
