Maddog1312 prefers the rapid time control — a fast-paced battlefield where intuition, speed, and nerves of steel collide. This player’s style is a fascinating blend of careful endgame preparation and sharp tactical awareness, boasting a comeback rate of over 77%! Games tend to be lively affairs, with decisive battles lasting around 50–60 moves on average.
Openings? Oh, Maddog1312 has favorite hunting grounds. The Scandinavian Defense appears to be a secret weapon with an impressive 60% win rate across 60 rapid games. The King’s Pawn openings and variations thereof form the backbone of their arsenal, with solid performance in the King’s Knight Variation and Caro-Kann Defense. So beware when you see these come out — the maddog is on the prowl!
Maddog1312's psychological game is quite amusing too. While the tilt factor sits at a respectable 10 (because nobody’s perfect), the best time to challenge them is early morning at 7:00 AM — when their win rate shoots up to a staggering 76.92%. Night owls beware, because Maddog’s performance dips notably outside these prime hours.
