When it comes to recovery, samtattooist has a 56.59% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece—proof their tactical DNA is highly mutation-resistant.
With over 400 daily games played using their Top Secret opening strategy (a move as mysterious as the deep recesses of the biosphere), they boast a stout 72.8% win rate in this category. Their blitz games tell a different tale; a moderate yet steady average rating in the low 700s, showing a preference for methodical pacing rather than frantic cell division.
