Playing Style
Tactical awareness is nyarth8’s middle name. They tend to play long games with an average of 47 moves per win, showing a patient, endurance-based approach. Their endgame frequency is quite high at 45.73%, proving they never back down in the late phase of the battle. Expect some early resignations here and there as well (6.49%), but hey, sometimes you just gotta preserve brain cells for the next fight.
Interestingly, nyarth8’s best time to play is around 10 PM, when their win rate peaks — so if you see them online late at night, beware! Their win rate with White (49.54%) slightly edges out Black (47.38%), but either color, they bring the heat.
