Clearly, when tangy_gorgon says "game on," they're ready to turn the tides swiftly and unexpectedly.

Their style? A blend of patience and flair: an average winning game clocks in at about 45 moves, but losses tend to drag on longer—because who doesn’t love a dramatic finish?

They might resign early only about 4% of the time, preferring instead to battle through the endgame, which they engage nearly 44% of the time.

Opponents like corvetteguy95, blnk33, and rwu921 have learned the hard way that 100% win rate against them isn’t just a fluke.
