Playing Style and Time Controls
Kandil_chess lives for fast, sharp battles and clearly enjoys the Bullet format. The quick tempo suits a dynamic, improvisational mindset, where every move counts and the clock keeps you honest. Endgames are not feared here; in fact, they’re often the battleground where a small edge becomes a full point, with endgames appearing in a large portion of games.
- Preferred time control: Bullet (the club’s favorite quick-fire rhythm).
- Endgame frequency: around 66% of games reach the endgame phase, making precision in the final lines essential.
- Game length: decisive games frequently run into the 57–66 move range, offering rich, long-form battles.
Opening Repertoire Highlights
The opening choices reflect a flexible, improvisational style across formats. In Bullet, several patterns stand out with solid results:
- Barnes Opening: Walkerling — 19 games, 12 wins, 6 losses, 1 draw (63% win rate).

- Unknown — 8 games, 6 wins, 2 losses (75% win rate).
