The very next day, a nail-biter winning on time against arun20_kumar showcased their nerves of steel, clocking a win in just under two minutes against a 317-rated adversary.
Of course, every hero has their Kryptonite: their latest loss came against ClackX94 in a Scotch Game battle where resignation was the final word. Hey, nobody’s perfect – even legends fall.
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Prefers to play during the mysterious witching hour of 9 PM, where their win rate magically hits a breathtaking 100% (okay, from limited data, but who's counting?).
- Average moves per loss are slightly lower than moves per win, implying they hold on tight before conceding – not one for quick quits.
- Not afraid to throw in the towel when the going gets tough, with about 12.31% early resignations – perhaps a survival tactic for the next battle!
