Endgames are a favorite stage, appearing in almost half the games, with an average of 46 moves per win showing patience and endurance (or maybe just stubbornness).
macwinn’s wins shine brightest while playing White, boasting a 44.3% win rate, while Black games can be a bit more challenging at 26.8%.

macwinn favors classical openings with a twist. Noteworthy performances include:
- 100% success with less trodden gambits like the Scotch Game and the Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation in Daily chess.
- Strong results with Bishop’s Opening in Rapid games, winning over 83% of those encounters.
- In Blitz, macwinn has mastered surprise weapons like the Alekhine’s Defense and the Englund Gambit, achieving a perfect 100% win rate in these mini skirmishes.
Streak lovers will appreciate that macwinn’s longest winning streak was an impressive 4 games, while the longest losing streak stretched to a humbling 7 games — a reminder that every champion has their off days (or weeks!).
Battle Scars & Rivalries
macwinn chooses battles wisely but shows particular rivalry against players like mozarkat and deepganguly, though the scoreboard can be a tad unforgiving there — only a 20% win rate against mozarkat and no wins yet against deepganguly.

Memorable Moments
