They also wield the Petrov’s Defense and Scandinavian Defense with sneaky precision, often catching opponents off guard. Blitz games tell a slightly different story, but all good things in due time.

Opponents Beware!
With over 258 wins in Rapid alone, Karll07 is a fierce competitor who has faced a vast array of opponents, some repeatedly like yarlon1 (13 games).
