Playing Personality

Known for a patient yet daring style, Adrian's games often stretch deep into endgames (84% frequency!), where their tactical awareness shines. Though sometimes tempted to resign early (with a modest 0.79% early resignation rate), they tend to keep on pressing until the board clearly says otherwise.

Interestingly, Adrian’s best hours are mornings around 9:00 AM, and they sport a tilt factor of 9—just enough to show passion without flipping the board over. Not a morning person? Watch out when it’s 9 AM, their precision can be downright ruthless.
