When things heat up, the French Defense and Indian Game openings add some spicy variety to pbzn’s opening repertoire.
Playing style? Think long games with an average of 57 moves to win and 60 moves to lose—because pbzn refuses to resign early, evidenced by an early resignation rate below 5%. Their cameo as a comeback artist is notable, boasting a 69% comeback rate, inspiring all underdogs everywhere.
Psychologically, pbzn can tilt a bit (14%), but who doesn’t in chess warfare? Interestingly, the best time to catch pbzn at peak form is around 2 AM, a time many call the witching hour—looks like the chessboard is where the real magic happens!
