Sarfaraz's style leans towards the grind: he enjoys endgames (played in almost 2 out of 3 games!) and has the patience of a saint with an average winning game stretching over 63 moves. He has a knack for making comebacks too, bouncing back with nearly 73% success after setbacks, though his "tilt factor" of 13 suggests he might occasionally grumble louder than the chess clock.

He also recently bested "jlucasm" by resignation after a tough 21-move battle in a Giuoco Piano game – clearly an arena where he feels quite at home.
Challenges
Like every great player, Sarfaraz faces ups and downs. A recent loss came by time against "JoeyBagOfBishops," reminding us all that sometimes the clock is the fiercest opponent. But with resilience carved into his very playing style, he’s always ready to bounce back stronger.
