Occasional flirtations with the Scandinavian Defense and Center Game spice up their repertoire—although the Philidor Defense hasn’t always returned the favor.

Meanwhile, their conqueror list reads like a who’s-who of chess adversaries, scoring wins against many with 100% win rates in isolated games—likely due to those opponents running for the hills after a tough encounter.
