Playing Style and Opening Repertoire
White or black, T C is an e4 player through and through, and the first move is almost always 1.e4. That leads to open, tactical battles where the Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation and the Vienna Gambit, with Max Lange Defense are signature white weapons. The French Defense: Advance Variation is another steady scorer. With the black pieces, the Modern Defense is the go to system, appearing in more than 12,000 blitz games, and the Modern Defense: Averbakh System has been especially kind. Throw in the Bird Opening's Batavo Gambit and the Australian Defense, and T C always keeps opponents guessing.
