Interesting Trivia:

In a recent game against requiem88, Nurmamalo sealed the deal with a resignation victory after launching a fierce assault featuring the French Defense: Franco-Sicilian Defense line. This game had drama, tactics, and a queen boldly stepping outside the comfy home squares — a true chess nail-biter!
