With a taste for mystery, Near_NR has tried the "Top Secret" opening extensively in Blitz and Bullet with almost a 50% win rate — a sneaky name that no one can quite predict. Other favored chess quirks include a flawless record with the French Defense Knight Variation Two Knights Variation and reliable performances in the Sicilian Defense.
