When it comes to openings, TheLosTs keeps things secret (literally named "Top Secret" in their repertoire) but also enjoys sprinkling in the Petrov's Defense Classical Damiano Variation Kholmov Gambit and the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Positional Line, displaying a mix of classical precision and modern daring.
