Concise summary of the playbook:
- Clock-hungry: excels in fast decision-making and tactical chaos — perfect for Blitz and Bullet skirmishes.
- Endgame-savvy: unusually high endgame frequency suggests many games are decided in the long run (expect long, grinding wins or losses).
- Resilient: a remarkable comeback rate (80%) — don’t count them out after a blunder.
- Psychology-aware: Best hours to face OpeningPraticeTime are late evening — they report their "best time of day" at 23:00, and their tilt factor keeps things spicy.
Notable micro-stats: long average game lengths (often 60–75 moves), a healthy tendency to trade into endgames, and an early-resignation rate well below average — they fight to the last bishop.
