Openings Repertoire

Trevor's favorite weapons in bullet time reflect a blend of classic and aggressive lines.

The French Defense Exchange Variation is his secret sauce, boasting a stronger win rate that tips above 53%.

Trevor’s ability to handle pressure and close out games in style remains his trademark.

Of course, not every day is winning day. On March 10th, 2025, he suffered a tough loss due to time pressure in the Van t Kruijs Opening—but every loss is fuel for his next big winning spree.
