Player Profile: shedsomeskin

Talk about regenerating lost ground! Their average games stretch about 65 moves, proving they aren’t afraid to stick around for the long haul, especially enjoying endgames with a frequency nearing 70%.
When it comes to openings, this player wiggles out of common traps with grace, especially favoring the English Opening King's English Variation and Queens Gambit Accepted, each with win rates north of 60%. Their love for the Englund Gambit and Slav Defense add an exotic flair to their repertoire, making opponents feel like they’re tangled in a complex biological maze! Their white pieces pack a bit more punch with a 56% win rate, although black is no slouch either.
