Playing Style & Strengths

  • White vs Black: Slight edge playing White with 49.73% win rate, but Black is no pushover either at 48.19%. Balanced and ready for anything.
  • Time mastery: Late-night blitz warrior – 23:00 is prime time for maheshnupu, when the tactics flow best and the board practically plays itself.

  • Van 't Kruijs Opening – The dark horse with a respectable 51.78% win rate.
  • Occasional flirtations with the French Defense and Sicilian Defense, adding unpredictability to the mix.
