Playing Style & Unique Traits

Sammy shows a solid tactical awareness with a comeback rate of 72.22%, like a train switching tracks just in time. However, when losing pieces, the win rate drops (28.89%), so every pawn counts aboard this journey.

Early resignation is Sammy’s escape hatch about 19% of the time, proving there’s no shame in leaving the route if the tracks get too tangled. The psychological tilt factor is low at 6 — a surprisingly calm captain, even when the clocks tick down.
