Playing Style

A strategic tactician with a penchant for the King's Pawn Opening, boasting a solid 63.7% win rate in daily games and an even better 67.3% in rapid play with the same opening. Matt's games often feature lively middlegames, with an average of 22.5 moves per win, but occasionally they turn into marathons averaging over 51 moves on losses—clearly refusing to quit without a fight. However, don't be fooled by the serious stats; with a tilt factor of 45, Matt knows how to keep things spicy under pressure.

The Opening Arsenal

Matt’s favored playground is the King's Pawn Opening, where he commands a winning rate north of 63% across over a thousand battles. But the creativity doesn’t end there—he dabbles in darker arts like the Nimzowitsch Defense with over 72% win rate daily and a perfect 100% in rapid games (at least in a handful of attempts, proving he chooses his moments wisely). On the flip side, some openings like the Sicilian Defense Bowdler Attack have humbled him with win rates below 30%. But hey, every hero has their kryptonite.
