The 1.e4 Marathon
PuzzleCrusher4000 is a board and piece loyalist. Year by year, their first move is almost always 1.e4: 457 openings in 2024, 742 in 2025, 517 in 2026. They are not interested in quiet English attempts or lazy reti systems. They want an open game, an early race, and a battle in the Sicilian Defense. The repertoire is heavily French, Italian, and Open based around sharp Caro-Kann Defense and Four Knights Game collisions.
Their White record with the Caro-Kann is solid for a player at their level: 54.6% in around 108 blitz games. On the black side, they show a special fondness for playing against the Alapin and Taimanov oceans of the Sicilian Defense, often landing in long, tense positions. The charts and growth line can be seen here:
. But beware: the Four Knights Game is a recurring headache. In 136 blitz games with White, they finish at 39% in that opening, which is a surprisingly painful mark for a player of their power.A Lifetime Rivalry
