Favorite Openings & Secret Weapons

When it comes to openings, Nomadkin’s repertoire is as eclectic as their name. “Top Secret” openings remain the mystery weapon in all time controls, with solid 44-50% win rates—because who doesn’t love a little enigma?

In bullet, the Scandinavian Defense shines with an impressive 61% win rate, and the French Defense King's Indian Attack pulls off a sneaky 66% success rate. These openings suggest a preference for sharp, dynamic play rather than passive maneuvering.
