Style & Strategy
Logan prefers to dive deep into endgames (clocking in an impressive 57% frequency) and isn't afraid to resign early when the chess gods smile elsewhere. With an average win lasting about 61 moves, patience is his game—though sometimes patience turns into a "comeback kid" moment with a remarkable 73.4% comeback rate after setbacks.
Preferred arsenal of openings includes a fondness for the Scandinavian Defense in Rapid (winning just over 53% of the time), and an intriguingly experimental approach in Blitz, like the enigmatic "Top Secret" opening—yes, the name itself is as mysterious as the move choices.
Battle Scars & Victories
With a career battle record of 343 wins, 429 losses, and 52 draws in Rapid—and a Blitz record where every win counts—the journey has been anything but boring. Logan's longest winning streak is a proud 7 games, while even the longest losing streak is a mere 10 (hey, every warrior has off days).
Super Recent Feat
