With a current rapid rating just over 1100, they have proven that perseverance beats panic — and sometimes even checkmate!

When the chips are down and pieces are lost, they dust off the defeat and push onwards with a nearly 44% win rate after losing material. They've mastered the art of turning "Oh no!" moments into "Oh yes!" victories, making opponents sweat as much as their nervous pawns.

True aficionados of Classics, Maffiyaa favors the King's Pawn Opening, having played it over 400 times with a respectable 51% win rate.
