Markav22 prefers the adrenaline rush of Blitz, boasting an impressive comeback rate of 83.73%, spilling proof of resilience when the odds seem stacked. An early resignation rate of just over 14% hints at a humble side—after all, wisdom is knowing when to cut losses (or just spill the queen and reset). The player’s average winning game lasts over 68 moves, suggesting they love a good battle, while losses come a bit quicker at under 39 moves—perhaps impatience at play?
Markav22’s tactical cleverness shines in their “win rate after losing a piece,” standing strong at 45.87%, proving that even when the chips (or pawns) are down, this player fights to the end.
