Chess Style & Strategy
Rasty’s favorite weapon of choice? The elusive Reti Opening, boasting a respectable 55% win rate in rapid games—and not shying away from some spicy Alekhine’s Defense battles either. Whether wielding White or Black pieces, Rasty maintains a balanced attack, with nearly equal win rates on both sides of the board. Known for a high endgame frequency (~63%), Rasty taking fights late into the night (or early hours) with an average of 64 moves per win proves endurance is key.
Tactical Mind & Comebacks
This player’s tactical resilience is no joke! With an impressive 62% comeback rate after setback, Rasty rarely throws in the towel early (though early resignation does happen, under 4% of games). Even after losing material, the fight goes on with nearly 39% win rate after losing a piece. Maybe it’s the Kurdish spirit that refuses to surrender, or just excellent coffee!
Time of Day & Winning Streaks
Fun fact: 3 AM is Rasty’s secret weapon time. Win rates spike around this “just one more game” hour.
