Opening Repertoire
Opening stats reveal a deep devotion to the Scandinavian Defense. Facing 1.e4 with 2...Qxd5 is clearly a comfort zone, as over 1,400 blitz games have been played with this opening on the black side. The Caro-Kann Defense is another trusted friend, appearing in more than 1,000 games for the player.
