About London

London is the chess streamer known as TheChessaholic on Twitch. Based in London, this colorfully persistent player treats the board like a story, mixing sharp ideas with a healthy dose of humor. The channel is a friendly pit-stop for players who love long, thoughtful battles as much as a good meme between moves.

Playing Style

TheChessaholic favors deep, endgame-rich battles. Data suggests games trend toward longer sequences, with endgames making up a strong portion of play. Wins and losses accumulate in the mid-to-late stages, reflecting a patient, resourceful approach rather than quick tactical fireworks.

Opening Trends

Opening choices lean toward dynamic, resilient setups. In Blitz, the London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation stands out as a frequent weapon, followed by Amazon Attack and Amar Gambit. Bullet and Rapid sessions showcase a mix of aggressive lines and solid systems, keeping openings evolving with the pace of the streamerโ€™s mood and chat.
