Opening Repertoire
If openings were a playlist, robbiek85’s would be a chill yet slightly mischievous mix of the Reti Opening and Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, favored in both Blitz and Bullet. The Sicilian Defense, in various spicy flavors such as the Taimanov and Nyezhmetdinov Rossolimo, also figures prominently, making early rounds unpredictable and exciting.
Curiously, sprawling out in openings like the King's Indian Defense and English Opening, robbiek85 likes to keep opponents on their toes — and occasionally biting their nails.
