Playing Style & Personality

His impressive 68.5% comeback rate suggests he’s no stranger to turning around precarious positions with a grin, often making opponents wonder if Bjørn has a crystal ball or just nerves of steel.

He’s also got a notable psychological tilt factor of 11, so sometimes his competitive spirit runs a bit wild—but hey, who doesn’t occasionally scream at the chessboard when the queen gets trapped?
