Ever the fighter, Tana proudly holds a longest winning streak of four games and an unwavering spirit that never resigns early—a noble trait in the chess world. The average game length, hovering near 71 moves whether winning or losing, suggests that matches are gripping, hard-fought affairs rather than quick skirmishes. Sitting at the board might be a bit like narrating an epic saga rather than a quick sprint.
The psychological warrior in Tana flickers with a low tilt factor of 3, meaning they keep calm and carry on, even if things go sideways. The notable 40.95% difference in performance between rated and casual games hints that Tana truly brings their A-game when the stakes are high—no pressure, no diamonds!
