Personal Notes & Quirks

Often opening with b3 and steering into Nimzo-Larsen territory, Miras mixes home-prepared novelties with practical time-pressure play. Best time of day to catch Miras at peak form is the early morning hours according to match logs, and the tilt factor is low enough that opponents cannot rely on emotional swings to win.

- Longest winning streak recorded: 16 games. Current winning streak: 4 games.
- Plays long, grinding games - average decisive game length is around 90 moves.
- Has fun with weird lines and traps; do not be surprised to see an Amar Gambit appear out of nowhere.
