The psychological battlefield is handled with grace: minimal tilt factor (just 5), a penchant for playing their best chess at 11 AM sharp (set your alarms!), and a curious habit of snagging wins by timeout more often than by checkmate. Maybe la_raffalle’s secret weapon is simply patience…and letting the clock do their dirty work.
Beware if you face la_raffalle on a Monday or Saturday, when their win rates soar above 58% to fabulous 60%—clearly, they save their freshest moves for the start and near the weekend.
