When he wants something more classical, his Caro-Kann Defense becomes a battering ram, winning more than 72% of his bullet games in that opening. Against 1.e4, the French Defense also brings him excellent results, with win rates above 70% in both bullet and blitz. In rare Daily outings, he even sports a perfect Petrov's Defense record.
His opening mix also includes the Scotch Game, the Sicilian Defense, anda fondness for unusual sidelines. Facing LaStreetCmaMaison means preparing for everything from classical theory to the kind of move that makes database authors blush.
Rivalries and Head-to-Head Battles
