Style and Strengths
Ghorbani is a 1.d4 player through and through. His opening stats show a deep attachment to the Caro-Kann Defense as Black and a steady diet of queen pawn setups as White. He also regularly reaches the Old Indian Defense, where he is comfortable grinding out wins from modest positions.
He plays aggressively from the first move: he delivers the first check in 52.2% of games and wins 50.27% of those. When opponents beat him to the punch, his win rate falls to 36.53%. In other words, he prefers to be the one making threats.
He is also extremely hard to finish off. His comeback rate is 84.08%, and he still wins 43.67% of games after losing a piece. He almost never resigns early, and 88.65% of his games reach the endgame, where he often outlasts tired opponents.
