- Tactical resilience: excellent comeback rate — flips losing positions into wins surprisingly often
- Average decisive game lengths: long for online play — this is a marathoner who sprints at the end
- Psych profile: modest tilt factor (keeps trying even after a bad run)
Openings & repertoire
jcms22 favors solid mainlines with peppered surprises. Study notes: lots of Sicilian Alapin games as White, and flexible Sicilian/Kan lines as Black. The French Advance and Caro‑Kann also show up frequently.
- As White: Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation is a go‑to.
- As Black: comfortable in Sicilian Defense: Kan Variation, Knight Variation and the Caro-Kann Defense.
- Occasional cheeky choices include the Blackburne Shilling Gambit when mood and opponents align.
